RIVERS.

Since the defeats, reported by us last year, sue-
tained by the Crown at the hands of the lords of
manors and other landed proprietors, commencing
with that inflicted by his Royal Highness the Prince
of \Vales as Duke of Cornwall, and their retreat
before his Grace of Northumberland, we have now
the gratification to inform our readers that in two
cases which have since come before his Honour Sir
W. P. Wood, the Crown has again been defeated. In
one case, in re Alstow, as to the manors of Leigh and
Prittlewall, in Essex, on the banks of the Thames,
his Honour refusing an issue at law to try the right
of the lord of the manor ; and in another more
recent case, that of the Standishes and the Carlisle
and Sillo'h Railway and Dock Company, last Sal
turday, having granted an issue, the Crown retired
from the contest, and allowed the purchase-money
which bad been invested to go to the
account of the lord of the manor. It is be-
lieved that they were in a great measure com-
pelled to adopt this course in consequence of
another defeat which they had (a few weeks
since) sustained at the hands of Sir John Harmer,
Bart., before his Honour Vice-Chancellor Stuart
and Baron Martin, Sir John distinctly proving his
title to the land covered by water to the middle of
the River Dee.
It is to be hoped that as her Majesty's Govern-
ment have laid before bath houses an account of
the proceedings of the Woods and Forests on in-
formations, they will at once also present to Parlia-
ment the papers both in the Prince of Wales's,
Lord Vivian's, and Sir John Hanmer's cases, in
order that, at all hazards, justice may be
done ; and those whose estates are imperilled l;y
the encroachments of the sea may be also declared
entitled to all its profit, as laid down in the com-
mon law of England.
Mr. Pycroft, the antiquary, may justly be con-
gratulated on the triumph of those principles which
he has so long advocated. The attention of the
landed proprietors in our mari'ime. counties should
be directed to this subject, which affects the title
to not less than 1,000,000 acres of land in Great
Britain and Ireland.

The house resumed at 6 o'clock, and was
