ANEW KING'S COUNSEL.

In addition to the gentlemen of the Chancery Bar we named
yesterday as having been selected to receive the honour of a
silk gown, we have now to add the name of Mr. Spence, who
received his appointment (and deservedly so) only this morn-
ing, the Lord Chancellor, as we are credibly informed, at the
same time expressing his regret in having overlooked the
Learned Gentleman in the first instance, and ascribing that
neglect to the press of business. It is a matter of surprise to
the profession, that'a gentleman of the standing of Mr. Gar-
ratt (30 years) should be overlooked. Press of business, no
doubt, has caused this omission. Mr. Lynch and Mr. Mon
tagu are also to be made King's Counsel.

COURT OF KING'S- BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)

BOWMAN U. TAYLOR.

Mr. FOLLETT stated the case. It was an action for a breach
of contract brought by an engineer against an extensive manu-
facturer in Yorkshire. It appeared that an agreement had
been entered into between the parties, by which the plaintiff
was bound to supply as many looms upon an improved plan for
manufacturing fustian, and for which the plaintiff had obtained
a patent, as the defendant: might require. There was a pre-
mium of 20s. to be paid upon each loom, and 162 looms had
been supplied from the time the contract had been entered into
in May, 1824, up to May, 1827, when the contract expired.
The engineer by whom the looms were made was examined
and gave evidence as to the number of looms supplied. There
were no witnesses called for the defendant, and the Jury re-
turned a verdict for the plaintiff for the sum claimed-
-1,1501. Bs. Bd.
