COURT OF KINGS BENCH.--CiiiiS DAY.)

(Sittings at Guildhall, .before - Lord DENMAN and a .Special
Jgry!)
PE RY V. MAY AND ANOTHER.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a builder and
carpenter, against Messrs. May and Morrett, furnishing iron.
mongers, for the recovery of a sum of 1,6621. 2s. 10d., ex.
pended in the erection and repair of certain premises, by
order of the defendants.

Sir .TAMES SCARLETT and Mr. RiCHARDS appeared for the
plaintiff, and the ATTORNEY-GENERAL and Mr. BALL for the
defendants.

It appeared by the statement of Counsel, that in July 1831.
the defendants were employed by the late Earl of . Wintertota
to build a mansion at Portland-terrace, and repair another at
Lodge-road. The defendants employed the plaintiff, Mr.
Perry, to execute the builders and joiners' work at both places,
and after a sum of 1,660/. had been expended, the plaintiff
took off his workmen by direction of the defendants. The
present action was brought to rover the amount expended
by the plaintiff.
Witnesses having been called to prove the employment of tho
plaintiff by the defendants, and the quantity and value of tho
work executed,

The ATTORI;EY-GENERAL addressed the Jury the de.
Pendants. The whole question before them was wkat 'he
nature of the contract entered into between the plaintiff anti
the defendants. There were two written agreements between
the defendants and Lord Winterton, by which 500/. was to hate
been paid on account of the work in Jan. 1832, and the remainder
in July 18:32. These agreements were laid before the plaintiff
by the defendants in the presence of a Mr. Little,_ an archi.
tect, and the express understanding was, that the plaintiff
should have no claim upon the defendants until they had re-
ceived the money from Lord Winterton. His Lordship had
died insolvent, and no money having been received by the de-
fendants on account of the work, according to the terms of the
plaintiff's agreement he had no just or legal claim upon the
defendants.

Mr. Little was examined for the defendants, and proved
that the agreement made between the plaintiff and defendants
in his presence was, that no claim should be made by tho
former upon the latter until they had received the money front
Lord Winterton.

Sir JAMES SCARLETT replied.
The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages,
1,6621. 2s. 10d.

to this date, amounts to--

From England 2,884

( From the Jamaica Papers.)
There is no question of more vital interest to the inhabi.
tants of Jamaica than the introduction of white labourers.
Those lately imported by Mr. Myers have given rise to some
disturbances of an unpleasant nature'; we regret to an-
nounce that no less than eight or ten of the individuals brought
out are discontented.

The regular season appears to have set in with a fall of rain
unusual even in these climates.

(From the Bombay Papers.)
The arrival of the Duncan, Captain Donal, from Dublin,
the 28th September, deserves notice, being the only vessel in
our remembrance, that has ever come direct to this port, from
the capital of Ireland. The Right Hon. the Governor-Gene•
ral is expected to be, on the 20th inst. at Bangalore.

THE WAR IN SCINDE.

Letters have been received from Scinde, intimating thati
battle has taken place.

DISTRESSES IN CDTCII.

A famine prevails thoughout this ill-fated territory, and to
add to the misery, the Prime Minister has monopolized all the
forage and grain in the country.

FUNDS.

Our City Tories are rather disappointed, as they cxpected
that the whole of the Ministry had resigned, while the Whig or
Liberal party live in hopes, by the King's sending for Lord
Melbourne, to consult with him for the remodelling of the Mi.
nistry, as they expect it will be on a firmer basis than ever;
and in consequence of which all the Funds have experienced&
slight improvement this morning.
Consols, which left off yesterday at 92+ s for the Account,

Nothing in any official shape is as yet known in the City
respecting the new appointment in the Administration, although
we hear a report that Lord Althorp will again return and
hold two situations as First Lord of !the Treasury and Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer, by which means the present Ministets
will be able to get through the session.
Consols continue firm at 92i for the Account.
