JUDGMENT.

His Honour the V►ce-Chancellor Sir John Stuart,
said that, having now heard the opinion of Mr. Baron
Watson, in which he entirely concurred, and thanked
him for it, he was now in a condition to deliver judg-
ment in this case, in so far as"' was concerned. After
considering the terms of the defendant's patent grant
to the wastelands al.)ng the shores of the White Sande,
&c., he came to the conclusion that the Crown bad
totally failed to make out a reserved right to the mines
and (minerals under the shores of the river and White
Sands ; and, considering the general bounty of the
Crown to patentees, be extremely regretted that this
information was filed by the Attorney-General. It
ought never to have been so filed. He dismissed the
information with costs. In courts of law, costs, in
general, were not given against the Crown, but in this
court costs were given against the Crown in several
cases, and justly given in this case.

Mr. James, Q.C., objacted to the costa being given
against the Crown.
His Honour said, if the Solicitor-General wished to
be heard upon the NatS3 he would hear him on Monday.

THE POOR LAW BOARD AND THE PARISH OF ST. PANCRAS
—SCISUNDERING PARISH RATES.

The unenviable notoriety of St. Pancras parish in
reference to parodaial matters has received a tem-
porary check. The Poor Law Board, in the fixer'
cise of their authority, issued an order last year
for the appointment of an auditor to audit the
accounts of the parish, under the Poor Law
Amendment Act. The directors of the p3or for the
parish, on the ground that the Poer Law Board had no
authority to make the order, and the directors, under the
the local act, elected an auditor who eatidfactorily
audited the accounts. After spending the m3ney of the
parish in resisting this wholesome requirement on several
points, the court this morning, after hearing the argu-
ments of the learned counsel on both sides decided in
favour of the Poor Law Board and against the directors
of the parish.
