convinced that the establishment of a Bank of more
than six persona merely for the purpose of deposit
had never been prohild'ed. The whole hinges on
whether the prohibition extends by the existing law to
hanks of issue merely (which it is said were the only
hanks understood at the time of the prohibition) or to
banks of deposit as well as banks of issue. However,
were there anything in the opinions of Sir James Searlett
tnd Sir Edward Sitgden (and to obtain a favourable opi-
nion from lawyers much depends on the case that is laid
before them) it is proper that the doubt should be resolved
in favour of the public, and against monopoly. Without
Presuming to question the qualifications of Sir James
Searlett and Sir Edward Sug.len, it must be observed
that the responsibility of the crown lawyers was greater.
The other lawyers may shelter themselves behind thecae
laid before them ; but the Crown lawyers must take
nothing for granted. Upon the whole, we believe the
country will be satisfied with the arrangement with the
Rank. The clause on the subject of the monopoly will
he peculiarly satisfactory. We anticipate much good
from it. Some of the private bankers naturally feel a
little alarmed at the consequences it may have ; for no
man, however liberal his principles, wishes to have his
own business interfered with.—Morning Chronicle.

HOUSE OF LORDS-JUDGMENTS.

Arc. 19.

MIREHOUSE AND ANOTHER V. RENNELL.

This case, which was argued before Lord LYNnHunsT,
when he held the Great Sea!, and the Judges, now came
before the House for final decision. . .

The case was brought by writ of error upon a judgment
of the Court of King's Bench. The declaration filed by
the defendant in error stated that the Rev. W. Dodwell,
D.D., of the late Prebend or Canon of South Grantham,
was seised in 1775 of that prebend, with its appurte-
nances (to which prebend or canonry the advowson of
\Veiling belongs), in his demesne, as of fee in right of the
said prebend ; that being so seised he inducted a fit person,
his son, to the rectory of Welby, and on his death the
Rev. Robert Price was inducted to the same; that on the
death of the latter the late Rev. Thomas Rennell was
lawfully inducted Prebendary; that on the Ist of June,
1824, the Rev. W. Dodwell died, and the rectory of
Welby, as an appurtenance of the rebend, became vacant,
and the presentation of right belonged to the Rev. T. Ren-
nell ; that after the church had thus become vacant, and
before any person had been presented to the same, the Rev.
Mr. Rennell died intestate, viz., on the 30th of June,
1824; that the defendant in error duly administered,
claiming also the right of presentation ; and that the then
Bishop of Lincoln appointed one of the plaintiffs in error,
the Rev. T. H. Mirehouse, to the said prebend. To this
action the usual plea of declaimer was filed, to which plea
the plaintiff below demurred, and the case was argued in
Hilary Term, 1825, before the Court of Common Pleas.
That Court was of opinion that Mrs. Rennell was not en-
titled to present to the vacant rectory, aad accordingly
gave judgment against her. The case was then removed
to the King's Bench by writ of error, and the majority of
the Judges of the last-named Court were of opinion that
she was entitled, as administratrix to her husband, to pre-
sent to the rectory, and therefore the judgment of the
Common Pleas was reversed. Lord Tenterden, however,
dissented from the rest of the Court in that judgment.
The plaintiffs in error brought the case as already intimated,
seeking to have the latter judgment reversed.

Judgment affirmed.
SIR JOHN J. DILLON v. SIR W3I, PARKER.

Lord LYNDHURST said this was the case of an appeal
from a decision of Lord Chancellor Eldon, which decision
affirmed a previous judgment at the Rolls, by Sir Thomas
Plummer, when he presided over that Court. The ques-
tion related to certain property that formed the subject of
a settlement of Sir Henry John Parker, so long back as
1741. There was no question whatever as to the title to
that property, but only as to an equitable right to the
property in question, arising out of circumstances which
took place several years ago, so far hack as 1769 and
1771, which gave, it was insisted, to the present appellant
an equitable right sufficient to control his legal right which
Sir Wm. possessed. The question would be, whether their
Lordships were of opinion that such a satisfactory case of
equity had been made out which ought to induce their
Lordships to give judgment in favour of that equitable
right.
Judgment affirmed without costs.

NORTHERN CIRCUIT.-LANCASTEA, Au*. 17

ARANSON V. SMITH.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a surgeon-
dentist at Manchester, to recover from the defendant, a
publican at Stockport, the sum of 9/. 1 Os, the cost of
several artificial teeth supplied to the defendant's wife.
In May list the wife of the defendant having lost most
of her teeth, was recommended by a Mr. Sleddon to apply
to the plaintiff, who, he said, was a very scientific man.
The plaintiff was accordingly applied to. He took the
model of the lady's mouth, and made the teeth, but when
he had done so the defendant refused to have the teeth, or
to pay for them, and they were consequently left on the
plaintiff's bands.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICR inquired of the Learned
Counsel if the plaintiff could not sell them to any body else?
Mr. WrowrmAN—ND, Ln:11, the teeth are made to
measure, and it is very diaioult to find one lady's month
exactly the same size as another.—( Laughter. )
Verdict for the plaintiff, damages 91. 10s.
Mr. WILLIAMS, under these circumstances, claimed
the teeth, which were given to him, and he immediately
handed them over to his client.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HO USE.

EXTENSIVE Pr.uNDEa or TEA.—Two men, named
Joseph Stone and Robert Collins, have been for some
days under examination, charged with having received a
quantity of tea, knowing it to have been stolen.
Mr. John Nicholson, of Fenchurch-street, tea-dealer,
having heard that teas of good quality were to be
had in abundance at the houses of several retail dealers at
a suspiciously cheap rate, he exercised more than usual
vigilance in his own establishment, and found that he had
been robbed to a considerable extent. Upon examining
the books he missed a chest, and he immediately ques-
tioned a very young man, one of his clerks, upon the sub-
ject. The lad immediately confessed that he had stolen
the chest, as well as several others, to supply himself with
money.
Mr. Nicholson's clerk then stepped forward, and made
a voluntary confession. On the 3d or 4th of August be
was introduced to Collins by his cousin, and took to him
a chest of Congou tea, at 3a. 9d. a pound. He believed
Collins to be a marine store dealer, and Stone had been
a tea dealer. Collins asked him how he could sell it so
low, and he replied that it was smuggled, and that he had
interest at the Excise Office to get a permit. He was also
introduced to Stone, who purchased of him at different
times eight chests of tea. lie kept the money he received
for the tea. At last the robbery was found out. A chest
was missed, and that led to the detection of the rest. The
first chest he sold to Stone was at 3s. 9d. a pound, and
it was permitted. The other chests he sold to Stone were
permitted to other parties. He gave Stone, as well as
Collins, to understand that the tea was smuggled. Some
of the tea was sold by Stone to a Mr. Dowling.
Mr. Dowling admitted that Stone had sold tea to him.
Mr. Clarksoo begged to know in what character the
clerk to the prosecutor was to appear on the occasion ?
The LORD MA-vort said he had determined to admit the
young man as a witness.
The prisoners were held to bail.

FISHING EXTRAORDINAR —On thernorn-
ing of Thursday se'nnight, while an individual, belonging
to Dunblane, was strolling on the, hanks of the Allan in
the vicinity of the bridge, he- observed a fine grilse
quietly lodged directly under him, along the side of a
shelving rock which projected from the spot whereon he
stood, over the surface of the /inn. No sooner did he
observe the fiairthan " his conceptions for securing i t
were very sanguine." Accordingly he ran home for the
necessary tackle, which consisted of little more than an iron
oledi; barbed, and having a long handle and which bad, no
doubt, in more favourable times, been of signal service,
" about the Martinmas time," to a long line of sporting
progenitors. Our sportsman having speedily returned,
the grilse was soon cleeked by the gills, but, to his utter
amazement, Le found his right to the prize disputed by a
new sportsman, who seized grilse, book, and all, and
dragged both the prize and prize holder, by a sudden jerk,
into the middle of the pool. And, certes, but for the
prompt attention of an amateur, who most luckily pro-
' ceeded to the spot to witness the capture of the grilse,
the poor man lied been drowned. The cause of the tur-
moil arose from a large otter having, as well as our
angler, laid longing eyes upon the grilse, and at the
same moment that the one laid hold of the finny prey
with his barbed spear, the other, springing from the
bottom of the pool, which is upwards of 10 feet deep,
laid hold of it with his no less formidable teeth, and as
described, sent our piscatory hero sprawling into the
middle of the :rater, leaving him minus grilse and sleek
--thinking himself very lucky in getting off with life:.
