WORLEY V. WORSLEY AND ANOTHER.

This was an actio❑ brought by the plaintiff, a poor
min, who occupied a cottage at Illingden, in the counts
of Middlesex, belonging to the defendant, Mr. Worsley,
to recover compensation for damaging the walls of hi•
cottage, breaking into the premises, and annoying hi•
family.
Sir JAMES ScAar.Err and Mr. dont; JERN zs conducted
the case for the plaintiff, and Mr. PLATT that for tilt
defendant.

From the evidence, on the'part of the plaintiff, it ap-
peared that the plaintiff had occupied a cottage, garden,
and orchard, at a rental of 10/. a-year, of the defendant
Worsley, who was a saddler in London, and had
country-house and farm at Illingden. In Novernbtr,
1830, there being a twelvemonth's rent due the preceding
midsummer, tie defendant Worsley, sent Hearn, the other
defendant, who was a bricklayer, and two men named
Collins and Newport to the plaintiff's cottage, desiring
the first person " to make a jolt of it," and the other two
to see that no resistance was offered by the plaintiff. They
accordingly went, and Hearn, who was a bricklayer,
battered out a part of the front wall to the extent of 12
fret, unthatehed a part of the roof, and broke theceiling of
an upper room, the fragments of which fell on the
two beds in the room. The plaintiff ordered
Hearn to desist, and at length sent for a constable
upon which they all left. The defendant Worsley was
there a part of the time, and ordered the constable away,
but he refused to go, and prevented further mischief. At
that time the defendant's wife was pregnant, and he had
five or six children, the eldest being about ten years of
age. A receipt was put in, by which it appeared that,
although the plaintiff owed Mr. Worsley a year's rent, the
latter owed the plaintiff Si. 15s. for wages due to his son,
leaving a balance of only 1/. ss. The plaintiff had since
quitted the cottage, which was now rebuilt.
Mr. PLATT, for the defendant, called a witness, James
Newport, who stated that he was brother-in-law to the
defendant Worsley, anti managed his farm. He had several
times wished to get rid of the plaintiff, but he swore that
All the damage that had been done to the cottage was done
by knocking down the decayed materials for the purpose
of repairing it.

The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—llainagea 301.

WHITEHEAD V. SCOTT AND ANOTHER.

This was an action brought by Mr. Roger Whitehead,
an attorney of Liverpsol, to recover the amount of a bill
of costs for business done for the defendants, who were
trustees of the estate and effects of cne Thomas Booth.
The bill was 37/. 6s. sd. of which 26/. 2s. 11d. bad
been paid into Court.
The business was proved to have been done, but in
cross-examination it appeared that a greater portion of the
costs was incurred in making Booth a bankrupt, which
was before the defendants became trustees, than the ba-
lance sought to be recovered.

Mr. RICHARDS, for the plaintiff, called for the trust
deed, and it was produced by Mr. PoLLocK, for the de-
fendants, when it appeared that ail law expenses incurred
in making Booth a bankrupt were to be paid out of any
fund that might be produced by asale of the estate and
effects of Booth.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE then asked Mr. Richards
if he could show that any fund whatever had come into
the defendants' possession.
Mr. RICIIARDS called two witnesses, but neither of
them knew the fact of their own knowledge.
The plaintiff was then nonsuited.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Singapore Papers to the 31► t of August ; Halifax to
the 31st December, and St. John's, New Brunswick,
to the 26th of December, have been received at the North
and South American Coffee-house.

(From the Singapore Papers.)
CANTON.

His Majesty's sloop Coots arrived in China on the 31st
ult., bringing a private despatch for the Select Committee.
Nothing as to the tenor of this has escaped, though it is
not difficult to divine. From the time of the differences of
the last rupture with China it has been considered in England
that nothing can be hoped for that might rescue British
subjects in this country from the anomalous and hopeless
condition in which they have so long remained.
An engagement has taken place between the Imperial
troops and the rebels. The advantage was gained by the
latter. The rebel army consisted of 40,000 men. The Im-
perial army suffered severely, and lost about 2,000 men,
including many officers.
Statement of the trade at Singapore from the let of
May, 1831, to the let of May, 1832 ;—ln the imports
there has been a decrease (4521,1757 Spanish dollars ; and
in the exports there has been the still larger decrease of
1,329,681 Spanish dollars.
(From the Halifax Papers.)
The herring-fishery has been finished : the average
barrels cured are 30,000 more than last year.
The New Brunswick Papers are void of information.
Accounts from Calais state, that certain information has
been received there of 3,000 men being ready to proceed
to Oporto from the ports of England and Ireland, a part of
which are already proceeding to their destination. This rein-
forcement will put into execution the plans formed be-
tween General Solienac and Don Pedro, which has only
been retarded by the necessity of leaving a garrison in
Oporto, while the Imperial army marches on Lisbon.
