CREDITORS of the late DUKE of YORK.

The Committee of the creditors of the late Mike of
York again met on Wednesday, at the Thatched House Ta-
vern, St. James's-street. They were attended by their So-
licitors, Messrs. Amory and Coles, of Throgmorton-street,
and Mr. A'Beckett, of Golden-square, who reported, that
since the last meeting they had devoted themselves, not
only to a very minute examination of the voluminous re-
port of the Master in Chancery, made in the month of
March, 1830, but to the investigation of a great variety of
documents and viva voce evidence, which had been sub-
mitted to them. The result of that examination, as far as
it had gone, was to convince them that it was not only the
duty but the interest of the creditors to proceed with un-
ceasing vigour.
On the head of judgment creditors, they made some
forcible remarks, commenting on the special good fortune
which attended certain parties, of whom three alone—the
Bank of England, Messrs. Rundell and Bridge, and Mr.
Rothschild, swept off upwards of 32,000/. out of the
41,000/. which had been paid.
There were but 14 judgment creditors, while the simple
contract and bond creditors, according to their calculation,
would exceed 250.

Of the jewels which had been spoken of—and they had
ascertained that the Duchess of York had died possessed
of a large quantity—they had been unable to discover any
account whatever, in the answers of the executors, be-
yond those included in a general item, embracing sales by
Christie, mentioning a small quantity of jewellery, and
amounting altogether to little more than '7,000/.
The Committee, after receiving these co►nmunications
from their solicitors, we understand, again adjourned till
Thursday next, and in the interim the solicitors have re-
ceived instructions to proceed in search of further wit-
nesses and facts, with which the Committee had been msde
acquainted.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, SEPT. 20.

IMPORTANT APPEAL.-REX. V. lIIROD AND RUMPHIT.

The facts of the case were these :—The stream digni-
fied by the title of the River Mozel, is that filthy ditch which
every traveller through Tottenham must have observed
lazily creeping along by the side of the road. It is the
common receptacle of most of the sewers in the neighbour-
hood ; and, in the month of July, the Local Board of
Health recommended the Commissioners to increase the
head of water, by erecting sluices in different parts of
its course, which was accordingly done. Messrs. Herod
and Rumphit, who occupy villas near what is called the
Nursery Bridge, felt themselves injured in the enjoyment
of their property by the course thus adopted—the kitchen
of the one was flooded, and the drainage o. the other
stopped, and some of his embankments broken down, and
to remedy these evils they caused their servant to open the
sluice below them and let off its waters. For this act a
convicti.m bad been obtained by the Commissioners, and
which was now appealed against.
Messrs. CLARKSON and PHILLIPS contended that his
clients had a right to act as they did, and that the movie.-
ticm could not be upheld, as it specially excepted from its
operation all persons acting in the ezereiseAf a supposed
right.

Messrs. AnoLrHus and PHILLIPS not being able to
disprove the presumption of right, the Court quashed the
conviction.

Further proceedings, it was stated, would be taken to
37 the question in the King's Bench.

THE MARKETS.

SOUTHALL MARKET.—Sept. 19.
This day's supply of Beasts, Calves, and Pigs, was moderately
good ; of Sheep and Lambs rather great. The market was to.
lerably well attended both by London and country buyers, but
as the latter seemed to be more on pleasure than business, the
trade, except with the primest small Beef, Mutton, and Pork,
was very dull, at the following prices per stone oet311). to sink
the °flats:—

lower, Pork 2d. per stone higher, than on this day se'nnight ;
prices otherwise stationary; Beasts, 302; Sheep and Lambs,
