THE KING Z. LITTLE.

M. Serjeant Stte-r asap moved. the Judg,
incur. of the Court on Mr.. John Little, tried at the.
list Assizes, before Mr. -Justice HEATH, and found
guilty upon an information for having given achal-;
lenge; and provoked.. a•Gentleinan of the name of
John Thurston, to light a duel, in .consequence of.'
'that Gentleman having giyen.his evidence at a trial
to which he was subponaed as a Witness.
An Affidavit was read on behalf of the Defendant;
,'-by which it appeared that he is Surgeon to a Mili-
tary Corps of which the brother of my. Lord Ca's..
tlereagh is Colonel, and who joined With the otlitt
Officers of the Corps in . giving the Defendant a
Very good character; cbnsideringkim as.a very wor.
thy Ointlenian, and an acquisition •fto the Regi.'
ment, Sec. • .
Mr,. ERSlttNc adiressed.the Court -on ,behalf of
the Defendant, and said, that he did not feel .any
disposition t 8 unsay or to qualify .what he had re. •
• peatedly said against thOse who clime to give ,chal.
lenges to fight duels; undoubtedly such praClices
must be beat down by the strong hand of the Law,
whenever such cases came before a Court of Justice;
nor was a Defendant to be excused in such a cane,
•even if his Prosecutor should happen to have inis.
emulated himself. Un'lueStionahly
.aquarrelsome
man was the greatest inistprtune thatiociety could
endure, but the present Defendant was not a person
of that charaaer—runfortunately he '.had, in this
case been drawn into a quarrel in -a ways which it
Visas difficult to explain to the Court, and still more
difficult for 'the court to attend' to it if explained. •
Mr. Eitsxtrth then stated the case of a ,Gentleman
ivho had received an insult similar to. the present,
and at' the time the Defendant 'came before
Court, was in Egypt gaining laurels that would
never fades he Submitted then on 'behalf of that-
Defendant- what he subtnitted now on behalf of
• this Defentiant--he acknowledged his errors, pro-
feikd his contrition, and presented him `to the-vs-
.lloof the Court, trusting they would deal with him
ae•gently as the nature of the ase-sVp,u,l4 acbz i.
It was tobe observed that a light punishinent, with
a rebyke, have a great rici'a person
this Gentlentan!s.citcomstances arid ettlation, nod
1r was very difFe,retit from that which .a- peison of a
different temper and habits required. - I: ~
Mr. Serjeant St-IEI,IIE an said that--this-Pooseeti.
tion did not come before the Court, '-on the behalf
of Mr. Thursion, from any resentment of his. own
against Mr. tittle, but from a'senle he einettained
duty. t'lr. Thurston.had given hie evi.
deuce in a Courrorlustice,, which he was bound to
do, ..having received Subpoena-for that parii)se,--
fre.. was grossly: insulted for so doing bt.thepefen.

duty to Sootely by bringing 'the. Case be.

COURT.OF CHANCERY.
WARDEN Cltilof44-0/1" ST4
rAtit's; m9IkR !S AND OTHEIIS.

This was a Illation for a third neW.Trial, and
. ,
stood for theppiniun:of the Court.'
•The LORD CHAiICFLLOIt' delivered II most tla.
bOrate judgment, the prominent features r f which
were great'abaitiei and integrity. It will be re-
. colletted this is a dispine between the Warden and
Minor Cahons:Of St. Paul's, and- the Parish of St.
'.6regory, in the City of London, respeiling the
'ium which the Inhabitants of that Parish were.
bound to pay, annually, in lieu of 'tithes.. The
Minor Canons contend, they are entitled to.ts.'9d.
in the pound, on the 'tent of all houses' in that pa-
rish, in, pursuanee of the Statute of the 37th of
Henry VIII. The Parishioners, on the other hand,
contend that they form an exception in that Statute,
inasmuch as they had, froin .all tilde, paid certain
ancient. and accustomed payments, vastly less than
9d.. in the potiiti:- •
The LORD CIIANCIELLOR took a. most compre.
hensive view of this important cause, and detailed
,the history of it from its origin,down„to the pre.
sent period. It is impossible to attempt even a
description.of it. 'His Lordship said, he had pathied
long before he had formed thlr opinion whichehe
was then about, to anir he gamic ttndertls
conviction, not only that it. was •PPell to 1.00414/
but. that it would be reviewed by the. Vouse
of. Lords ; and that might be fur the benefit of
I the Parish. His Lordship observed, that mots
causes of this sort, with which he had ever been
acquainted, had ended at last in a compromise.
He believed that as. 9d. in the pound had never
been paid by the inhabitants of this Parish to ;the
Minor Canons; for that OEN on the annual; ffiltii
of all tht: honks ip ' that' Pariah would amoOnt to.
13001.; whereas ..the sun's_ received, in all times.
annually from, the Parish.by the Minor Canons,

! ript eteed root. His Lordship :thought it
incumbent on the. Parish to sh!wi,, that those pay..
ments which they had :Made, wlete • not :only .I(tsrP
than is. g 1.,. in the pound, but. that, they were.
bound to state the precise -amount of them, which
they had not been able todo.. adinitteti,that,
it was his duty to struggle to ;find out ,:the.amount
ot these custotbary-payments ; but if .alter all the
diligence and attention he 'could use, he cpurclx:lncit
find them out, :even after a •jtkii.cial inveatiiaiiOn
of the nilijed ; and if he was sariitied the add4ifmat,
;evidence (which bad beer rejeled GO-the-former

. On Monday the, th Instant, the Carmarthen-
-shirc Rail-road,from Llanelly to Castle Gartn, was
opened to the extensive collieries and iron mines
in the neighbourhood of*liroodiny anti Gynhidre,
tin which occasion the Gentlemen of the coMpany
went up the road in* carriages construfted fut. the
purpose, where they were met by. .a vast coneonrie
of speaaton. Ten waggons were Own loaded with
full twenty-five tons of iron, stone, and euali, in
addition to which the svaggons were crowded with
more than tso persons. The procession'proceeded
front thence toll seven miles to the sea side (through
a very mountainous country) drawn by one horse ;
they were preceded by a band of music, ctilours
flying, and were received at the sea side with loud
acclamations, amidst the firing of guns from the
vessels in the harbour, whose colours %vete dis.
played on the occasitfin. The usual way of carry.
ing iron, stone,. analcoal through this part of the
country, was on-hArib's Wats, "which „would hive
taken 'upwards of 100 horses to have conveyed the
same quantity.

The folloivitt important Article appears in the

Lettei to have been received by a vessel arrived at
Newcastle from Tonningen i

' . . liatnibtogh, Sept, 3.
" No dottbt you will have heard before this
reaches you, that the French have demanded of the
Hamburghers a loan of one million sterling, offer.
ing them Hanover as a security. r The Courier who
brought this demand arrived last night,And 'this
day being the greatest holiday they observe in the
year, and no NewspaPer:printed, it is difficult to
get at the truth; but I believe it to be certain, that
if the money is not furnished, the French will rake
possession of the City. Such at leak is the current
report.—The British Minister, it is said, has told
the Hamburghers, that if they do, all Hambuigh
property in England shall be confi.eated. The
French arc jealous of the"trade'of Hainhurgh, and
BUNAIiARTE wishes to serve us as he has done every
other Country. This will certainly be the case
with us in the end ; for money he mast have, and
he has got none at home."
