The House sat to Clay to Kearitipeals. The Peers

resumed to-day, and this occupied their Lordships the

SHEERY V. LORD MUSRERRI.
The LORD CHANCELLOR gave the judgment of their
Lordships in this case, agreeing to the opinions ex-
pressed by the Judges
the judgment Judges, and though with reluctance, re-
visisingf the Court of Chancery in Ire-
land. The case was argued before the House and the
Judges the session before last.

SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BIIRCHELL.)
WELLS V. ITAWKSLEY AND ANOTHER.
. This was an action to recover the sum of 16/. 10i.,
for one quarter's rent of stables in Elms-lane, Bayswater.
The defendants, Messrs. Hawkesley and Wright, were
sued as trustees of the Metropolitan Joint Stock Con-
veyance Company, whose conveyances ran from Hun-
gerford•market. The defendants had paid previously
rent, and had sold off the horses and received the money.
Possession of the premises, however, was still kept, and
on the part of the plaintiff it was contended that defen-
dants were personally liable for the rent. The defence
was, that the plaintiff was not the proprietor of the pre-
mises, but that they, in fact, belonged to plaintiff's
father, who, being a partner in the company, could
not sue.
Mr. Thomas Crawford, the managing
director of the
company, was called, and proved that Wells, sen., was
also a director, and that the stabling was taken of him,
but afterwards he transferred the property to his son.
The company was still going on, although the horses had
been sold. An offer was made to pay one quarter's rent
in advance, and to give up immediate possession, but
the offer was not accepted. He had received 70/. fur his
services. _ _ .

The Learned UNDER-SHERIFF said it would have
been better to have paid the rent than to have helped
himself.
The witness said there was sufficient money in the
hands of the trustees. He, however, considered him-
self as much liable for the rent as defendants.
Mr. THOMAS submitted that the plaintiff must be non-
suited, as it had not been shown that defendants had
ever consented to alter the tenancy.
The UNDER-SHERIFF thought the case must be al-
lowed to go to the jury, who, however, might perhaps
think that as Wells, sen., had not been called, that the
case had not been made out.
The jury said that was their opinion, and gave a ver-
dict for the defendants.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
(TIIIS DAY.)
(Before the ASSISTANT-JUDGE.)
Mr. John Gore, convicted at the February sessions
of maintaining a nuisance (a lay-stall and dust yard),
in Hatfield-street, Clerkenwell, was brought up for
judgment.
The Learned JUDGE said that he had visited the
place of nuisance yesterday, and he found that the
defendant was really, in earnest about the removal,
and had sold the premises. He would, therefore, allow
the defendant another month, and had no doubt that
in that time the place would be cleared out.

COMMISSIONERS OF SEWERS.

(THIS DAY.)
The Metropolitan Sanitary Commission held a Court
of Sewers this morning; Mr. Byng in the chair.
An opinion of the Attorney and Solicitor-General and
Mr. Peacock was read, as to the power of the Commis-
sion to carry on the Ordnance survey of the metropolis
and pay the expense out of the rates. Those Learned
Gentlemen were of opinion that the Commissioners could
not cause a general survey and plan of the metropolis
to be made at the joint expense of the several districts
now under their control, but they could make a separate
survey of each district and pay the expense out of the
rates of each district. The Commissioners might employ
the same persons to make all the surveys and plans, so
that when made they would substantially have the same
benefit as one general survey and plan, but it must be
strictly observed that the expense of each survey must
be kept separate.
The report of the General Purposes Committee was
then read. It stated that the expense of the survey
would be about 25,0001., and the committee recom-
mended that Parliament should be applied to for a Bill
to enable the Commission to complete the survey, and
spread the raising of the 25,0001. over a period of thirty
years; which would divide the annual contribution -of
each ,district, as follows:—Westminster, 705/. 12s. 9d.;
Holborn and Finsbury, 313/. ls. 10d.; Tower Hamlets,
2081. 14s. 7d.; Poplar and Blackwell, 18/. 12s. 2 • St. Ka-
therine's,
.21. 18s. ld.; Surrey and Kent, 2281.125. Bd.;
and Greenwich, 11. I Is. 2d. It was estimated that
there were 300,000 houses within those districts, and if
an annual rate of lid. were levied for thirty years, upon
each house, it would supply the funds required for the
survey. _ _ _

Mr. CHADWICK moved the adoption of the report.
Mr. LESLIE insisted that the Commission had no
power to proceed with the survey, for in the Finsbury
and Holborn Act it was provided that the works
should be let on contract.

After some further discussion, the adoption of the
report was put and carried, by a majority of 6 to 1.
Some other routine business was gone through, and
the Court adjourned till the Bth of June.

COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.
(Fito*.quA. OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

COWES, MAY 23, 1848.
FOREIGN SHIPPING.—Her Majesty on Monday passed,
in the royal yacht, through the fleet of foreign ships
in our roadstead. They were all gaily dressed out in
flags, and, in compliment to her Majesty, they dipped
their national ensigns as the royal yacht passed, which
her Majesty acknowledged by dipping the standard of
England. On Tuesday the Duchess of Kent, on her pas-
sage to Osborne, passed through the shipping, and was
similarly honoured. On Wednesday all the ships were
dressed in flags, the British ensign at the fore, in honour
of the Queen's birth, and at twelve o'clock every cannon
that could be mustered by the whole fleet was dis-
charged, the Prussian, Danish, Hamburgh, Lubec,
American, Russian, Bremen, and Hanoverian vessels
vying with the English to do honour to Britain's Queen.
Salutes were also fired from the Royal Yacht Squadron
Battery. All the troops from Parkhurst-barracks were
marched to the race-course, near Whippinhasn, where
they fired a royal salute.
This evening some of the royal tradesmen will dine
at the Prince of Wales Tavern, opposite the entrance-
gate to the Palace
; but some thinking this rather too
near the royal residence declined attending. Fireworks
and feasting is the order of the day, with an illumi-
nation to finish off with.
Five noblemen made applications for residences for
the summer on Saturday last,
Many of the captains and passengers in the foreign
ships were present at her Majesty's landing, and ex-
pressed their surprise at there being neither soldiers nor
police present. She wants no guards.
