EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Nisi Prins at Westminster, before Mr.
Baron MARTIN and a Common Jury.)

KILDAHL v. THE BARON VON STENTA.
This action was brought by a proctor in the Beale"
siasrical Court of Dublin against Baron Von Stentz,
to
recover the sum of 6311, the balance of his taxed bills
of costs for conducting an action brought by the do'
fendant in relation to the will of his mother the Baroness
Von Stentz, an Irish lady.
The defence was that the Baron had been improperli
drawn into the suit, and that having received no benefit
from the services of the plaintiff, the sums he bed
already received were sufficient to compensate bid for
his trouble.
Mr. Baron MARTIN having summed up,
The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Daraageh

SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY')

(Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BuRcHELL.)

CREW V. CCLLINGFORD.
This was an action to recover damages for rent end
dilapidations.
It appeared that defendant had taken the premises No.
10, Eccleston-street, Pimlico, under a lease. The,de:
fendant had been in possession for three years see
half up to Christmas last, when it was found that the
painting, &c.. was in a very bad state, and the damage
was estimated at 201. 6s. 10d., and the rent 151.
The condition of the lease was that the house should
be painted in the sixth year.
The defence was that defendant had let the premises
to a third party, who, however, had been compelled h£o
leave by the plaintiff ; it was, therefore, contended, tha
as defendant bad not surrendered the lease, be could not
be called upon o paint a the end of three years.
The UNDER-t
SHERIFFt said the defendant had clearly
left the place out of repair, and plaintiff was entitled at
all events to some damages, and there had not been anT
evidence to contradict the valuation by plaintiff g
surveyor.
The jury, after a short consultation, gave a verdict of
15/. for rent and 151. for dilapidations.

ROBERTS V. LORRY.
This was an action to recover the sum of 421., for
money paid on behalf of the defendant.
It appeared that the defendant, who is a solicitor, had
induced plaintiff to give a guarantee to prevent defend,
dant from being taken in execution. The debt
not being paid, plaintiff was sued, and was compelled
to pay the debt and costs, amounting to 371. 25., and
had also been put to 51. expense for his own costs in the
action.
The only defence was that plaintiff, having given the
guarantee, was bound to pay without allowing costs to
arise.
The UNDER-SHERIFF said that as the defendant bad
suffered judgment to go by default the objection could
not be t.u3taiued.
The jury gave a verdict for the full amount.

STATISTICS OF NEW SOUTH WALES.
An i ffieial document, cont,ining the statistics of New
South Wales, including Port Philip,
,fromlB4o to 1849,
and
has just reached this country, furnishes an in•
teresting view of the progress of that colony. With
regard to population, it appears in the ten year.
nearly to have doubled, the total in 1840 having
been 129,463, while in 1849 it was 246,299, of
which number 101,470 were females. The proportionate
excess of males was much greater in 1840 than at pre•
seat, ut the rapie diminution of
e the disparity is not to
be attribbuted so much to the ion
evenness of the subs,
Sequent immigration as to the extended duration of
female life compared with that of the other sex, and to the
fact of the children born being more nearly balanced.
Of 75,481 births since 1840, 38,310 were males, and
37,171 were females, while of 25 821 deaths among the
entire population, 15,978 were males and only 9,843 were
females. In deaths amongst adults the number of men each a
year is nearly twice that of women, owing doubtless in
great degree to habits of intemperance. The number of
marriages in 1849 was such as to indicate the returnivg
prosperity of the country. After the commercial revulsion to
and the check to immigration they had fallen from
2,511
about 1,800, from which there was little variation anal
1849, when the total was 2,365. The year of the
1 irgest immigration was 1841, when it reached 22,483.
The lowest year was 1846, after the land

ing disasters, when it fell to 402.
849
it was again large, and amounted to 19,340.
The
total immigration since the foundation of the colony
appears to have been 107,403, of whom 82,933 were
dispatched at the public expense ; the total paid from
the territorial revenue from 1832 to 1849 having been
1,309,447/, Since 1839 the religions of the puha,"
emigrants have been recorded, and 23 there appear
ce,
to
have been 46,869 Protestants, ,337 Catholi
and 79 other denominations. As regards the cur-
rency of the colony, there have been great varia-
tions. In 1840 th in in the banks was 397,5811.,
and after having ri enn 1845 to 855,166/., it again de-
clined to 643,458/., at which it stood in 1849. The
schools have increased in the ten years
ars. from 167
t with
9,040 scholars to 558 with 25,682 schol Of hese
558 schools 222 are supported in whole or in part
by grants from th© Colonial Treasury, amounting
to 16,7961. per annum, the number of pupils
being 15,426, of whom 6,553 are Church of England,
2,586 Presbyterian, 1,678 Wesleyan, 219 Indepene
dent, and 3,313 Boman Catholic. The number of
lunatics is asylums on the 31st of December, 1849,
was 315 male (chiefly convicts), and only 98 female.
With respect to crime, the convictions for felon'',
the population has nearly doubled,

T. 238.559/. consisted of wool, and 249,9321. of tallow. and of the exports, 1,891,270/., of which
he shipping entered inwards numbered 898 vessels, with
219.967 tonnage; the total outwards being 907 vessels,
with 214,056 tonnage. The revenue was 5
under
75,692/.,
and the expenditure 516,533/. The land
cultivation, exclusive of gardens and orchards,
is described as follows : - Wheat, 90,706
acres, producing 1,917,253 be ; maize,
23,368 acres, 276,641 bushels; barley. 10,350 acres,
169,292 bushels; oats, 8,378 acres, 179,258 bushels;
rye, 203 acres, 2,951 bushels; millet, 18
acres, 134
bushels; potatoes, 5,289 acres, 14,229 tons; tobacco,
458 acres, 4,244 cwt. ; grasses, 42,842 acres,
47,554 tons;-total, 181,612 acres. This, a
compared with the return for 1840, shows
that the greatest increase in cultivation as
been in grasses, potatoes, barley, and oats, while in
maize there has been a decrease. Besides these pre-
ducts, however, there are now 1,127 acres of vineyard,
yielding 101,063 gallons of wine and 1,781 gallons of
brandy, the quantity having been steadily increasing
since 1843. The tendency to an increase in live stock
is shown mostly in sheep and horses, and the totals
are-horses, 121,859; herrn d cattle, 1.810,213; pigs
58,674; and sheep, 12,102,540. The number of ani-
mals slaughtered' in 1849 for tallow was 743,513 shard
and 45,050 horned cattle, besides 250 hogs for
The boiling-down houses have increased within twelve
months from 62 to 95. The number of mills for grain
is stated as follows :-In 1840, steam, 26 ; water, 23 ;
wind, 34 ; horse, 14. In 1849-steam, 70 ; water,
41 ; wind, 28 ; horse, 29. The progress of the
