of a house, No. 2, Hyde Park, for the term of 92 years, for
£5,600, with interest at 5 per cent., and a ground rent of
£5O per annum ; together with a coach-house and stable at

annum.
His Honour, on considering the written and oral evidence
produced, came to the conclusion that he could decree
specific perfcrmanco of this contract. His Honour dis-
missed the plaintiff's bill, with costs, reserving to the
plaintiff any remedy which he may have at law against
the estate of John Balls for a breach of contract, or any
damages that a breach of contract has entailed upon him.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

;Before the Lord Chief Justice and Justices Wightman

and Blackburn.)
HOOD V. SMITH.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a clerk in
in the City, to recover damages against the defendant, a
solicitor, for negligence. The action was tried before Mr.
Justice Hill, and resulted in .a verdict for the plaintiff, with,
£240 damages.
Mr. R. P. Collier moved for a rule to set aside the ver-
dict, on the ground that it was against the evidence, and
that the damages were excessive.
The plaintiff purchased a house, described as 12, South
Albion-road, Dalston, part of the property of Mr. Hughes,
the attorney, of which such frauds were perpetrated, and in
respect of which he was undergoing penal servitude. After
the purchase, which took place at a sale by action, the
plaintiff Oak the titles to defendant to have the
necessary conveyance made out, but it turned oat
that instead of the house the plaintiff had purchased
another house (No 17) which was conveyed to her, both
houses being equally valuable, and mortgaged by Hughes
to such an extent as to make them worthless. It was main-
tained that the plaintiff had not sustained any real loss by
the substitution of one house fod another, but the plaintiff
availed himself of the mistake of the attorney to maks him
liable.

The Royal assent was given by commission to the fol-
lowing bills :
The Consolidated Fund (E 9,500,000).

CONVOCATION IN THE PROVINCES OF CAN-

The Prussian journals are now engaged in a dis-
cussion as to the means whereby the contents of a
despatch from the Prince Regent to the Prince
Consort of England have been brought to the know-
ledge of the French Government ; and an interview
has taken place between the Prince de la Tour
d'Auvergne, the French Ambassador at Berlin,
and M. von Schleinitz, the Prussian Minister of
Foreign Affairs, on the subject. The journals
speak of thefts of despatches having been dis-
covered, and one states that the contents of the
despatch in question can only have become known
through an indiscreet communication in Minis-
terial circles on the English side of the Channel.
A Dusseldorf paper has the following account of
the interview between M. Schleinitz and the
French Ambassador, which it states it has received
from a good source :
" At the latter end of the preceding month the
French Ambassador at the Court of Berlin, the
Prince de la Tour d'Auvergne, called on the Mini-
ster of Foreign Affairs, Baron von Schleinitz, and
after some civilities, spoke of the value which
the Emperor placed upon the friendship of
Prussia. Exclusively to avoid any unpleasantness
on the subject, the prince requested M. Schleinitz
to give him any information he possessed as to
the authenticity of a document the copy of
which he presented. It purported to be a letter
sent from the Prince Regent to the Prince Con-
sort of England, in which family matters were
spoken of, and then some remarks on the politics of
the day were added, in which the Emperor Napo-
leon 111. happened to be mentioned. M. Schleinitz
replied that he could give no information respecting
the document, since he was not acquainted with the
private correspondence of that high personage. His
excellency, however, urged that he must receive
explanations upon the matter. His Imperial
master had always entertained the beit wishes
towards Prussia, and had believed that his sen-
timents were reciprocated by that country, and
yet Prussian assurances and the expressions con-
tained in the letter he produced were opposed
to that belief. Baron Schleinitz hereupon an-
swered that he was Minister in a constitutional State,
and that the Ministry of his country were respon-
sible for all official political negotiations and corre-
spondence with foreign countries; and that, if
any inquiry on the matter should take place, he
would not withhold the information sought, in case
reasons of State did not forbid such a communi-
cation to be made. Respecting the correspondence
which the Prince Regent personally had with
his august friends or relations, the Minister of a
constitutional country had not the right to con-
trol the private communications of the Prince
Regent, especially since they had no official
character. These reasons, and the respect which
must be most carefully preserved in a constitu-
tional country towards the highest personage, for-
bade the 'Minister to initiate an investigation, or to
hold an inquiry whether the document were genuine
or not. The French Ambassador, apparently pre-
pared for this objection, replied that his inquiry
was purely of a formal nature, and could in no
way interfere with the political importance of a
good understanding between France and Prussia;
but as the official assurances and the contents of
the letter were so widely opposed, it would be
plainly seen and pointed out by M. Schleinitz that
the copy of the document was not genuine. M.
Schleinitz answered that it was no question for him
whether the copy were forged, as he naturally could
not decide that point, since he neither knew any-
thing of the private correspondence cf the Prince
Regent, nor could he be concerned in it.

TERBURY AND YORK.
Mr. K INNAIRD asked the Secretary of State for the
Home Department whether her Majesty's Government
had advised the Queen to sanction the sitting of Convoca-
tion in the provinces of Canterbury and York for any other
than the ordinary purpose of adjournment.
Sir G. C. LEWIS said, that last February there had
been a resolution by Convocation for an address to her
Majesty, praying that she should direct the revision of the
29th canon, which provided that a father should not be
godfather to his child.
SALE A ND PURCHASE OF GOVERNMENT
LAND AT PORTSMOUTH.
Lord W. GRAHAM asked the Secretary of State for
War whether the land, or a portion of it, which had re-
cently been bought at a high price by Government for tte
defences of Portsmouth was not formerly in the pos-
session of Government, and sold by them a few
years back at a comparatively cheap rate; whether
there was not, at the time of selling such land, an
official plan for the defence of Portsmouth, embracing such
land, in the hands of Government, or of the military au-
thorities ; and, wh.-ther he would lay upon the table of the
house a return of the price at which the land was sold, the
price at which the land has been rebought, and the namo
of the official who sanctioned the sale.
Mr. S HERBERT said that the facts were, that about
twenty years ago, it had been deemed advisable to sell the
land in question for £20,000, and now it was considered de-
sirable to purchase it for a snm of £28,000.

INDIA.
Mr. H. B. SIIERIDAN asked the Secretary of State
for India whether instructions had been sent to the Indian
Government to take steps to. reduce the amount promised
by the Home Government for compensation for losses by
the Indian mutiny : and whether or not a special de-
spatch to India was sent about January last upon the
subject of these compensations ; and if so, wh ther
there was any objection to lay that despatch, or
the last despatch upon the subject, upon the
table of th house : and, further, whether the million ster-
ling awarded by the Home Government, as compensation
to sufferers by the Indian Mutiny, was to be the minimum
as well as the maximum of such compensation. If it was
the intention of the Imperial Government to deduct
English income tax from the interest payable on promissory
notes of the Indian Government. where such interest was
payable in this country by drafts on the India Treasuries:
Whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Ministers to
allow the Indian Government to deduct Indian income tax
from the interest payable on promissory notes of the Indian
Government after English income tax had been already
deducted from such interest in this country : Or, whether,
in other words, interest on Indian promissory notes was
subject to a double income tax ?
Mr. BARING sai t that no instructions had been given
in reference to the amount of compensation. As regarded
the income-tax, he thought it not advisable to give any
answer to the question at present.
TAX BILLS

Lord PALMERSTON moved that a select committee be
appointed to search the journals of both Houses of Parlia-
ment, in order to ascertain and report on the practice of
each house with regard to the several descriptions
of bills imposing or repealing taxes. That ' the
committee do consist of Lord Palmerston, Mr.
Disraeli, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr.
Walpole, Lord J. Russell, Mr. S. Estcourt, Sir G. Grey,
Sir J. Pakington, Sir J. Graham, Mr. Henley, Mr. E. P.
Bouverie, Colonel Wilson Patten, Mr. Massey, Mr. Ben-
tinck, Mr. John Bright, the Attorney-General, Sir Hugh
Cairns, Mr. More O'Ferrall, and Sir William Heathcote.
He considered it would be desirable for hon. members at

present to abstain from entering into any discussion on the
subject. In his opinion the better course would be for
hon. gentlemen to defer their observatiens (whatever their
opinions might be) until after the committee had made their
report. The appointment of the committee pledged the
house to nothing except that hon. members wished for in-
formation which they did not at present possess.
Sir J. PAKINGTON said that be thought no one could
object to the course which the noble lord the First Lord of
the Treasury proposed, and the assent of hon. members
was not required by the adoption of the present motion
Mr. E. JAMES said he regretted that he could not
agree with the right hon. baronet. He thought that dis-
cussion before the present time would have been
premature, but now that tho house was in posses-
sion of the decision of the House of Lords,
all the precedents of the House of Commons justified
hon. members in taking some active course in reference to
the act of the Upper House. (Hear, hear, and no, no.)
Ho had no desire to urge on her Majesty's Government a
course that would be premature ; but he thought the House
of Commons had a right to know what steps her Majesty's
Government proposed to take in reference to the vote of the
other house. Having referred to the course adopted by
the House of Common in 1742, when the House
of Lords rejected a bill for an inquiry into the
conduct of Sir Robert 'Walpole, the hon. anu learned gen-
tleman said he could not 11.4 thinking there was no neces-
sity for moving for a committee to ascertain precedents,
and, without meaning any disrespect to the Government,
the course they had adopted was merely a pretext for delay
and temporising. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) He
thought some immediate action was necessary for the asser-
tion of the privileges of the House of Commons, and for
the vindication of the dignity of the Government.
Mr. T. DUNCOMBE followed on the same side, and
read a resolution agreed to at a recent meeting of delegates
from different bodies interested in the repeal of the duty,
suggesting that the house should meet in November
next for tne purpose of considering the subject. He agreed
to that suggestion, for the House of Lords did not reject
the bill—they merely postponed the second reading, and at
the time specified the finances of the country might be in
such a position as to remove the objection on the ground of the
fiscal position of the country. He concluded by a motion to the
effect that the house at the elgse of the session should not
be prorogued, but should merely postpone its sitting until
November, during which the question might be more fully
considered.
Mr. W H ALLEY seconded the amendment, and said he
had supported the financial scheme of the Chancellor of the
Exchequer on the faith of the duty on paper being repealed.
Ur. BRIGHT strongly denounced the course proposed
by her Majesty's Government, and proposed that the debate
should be adjourned until Thursday next.
Lord J. RUSSELL appealed to the house to reject both
amendments, and was
(LEFT SPEAKING.)
