PALACE COURT (THIS DAY)•

GLTHRIE V. DE MONTJOIS.
This was an action brought by Mrs. Janet Guthrie to
recover of the defendant, Madame Augier de Montjoie
two weeks lodgings at two guineas and a half per week.
Messrs. Ross and BELDAM appeared for the plaintiff,
and Messrs. CAPRON and BAZETT for the defendant.
From the evidence of the plaintiff's servant it appeared
that shortly before Easter Monday last the defendant
caned to look at lodgings in the plaintiff's house, No. 31,
Tunbridge-place, New-road. On Easter Monday she
called again, accompanied by a male friend, and agreed to
take the two parlours and two bed-rooms at two guineas
and a half per week from that day, stating that she would
come in the following Friday, and desiring the plaintiff to
get a dinner prepared for her on that day, and in the
meantime to arrange the furniture, and to make room for
a pianoforte, which she said she would send in. She
then went away. The rooms were put in order, an extra
servant engaged, and the dinner prepared on the Friday,
but Madame came not, and had never since been to take
possession. The plaintiff, having been put to trouble and
expense, had accordingly sued the defendant for two weeks'
rent.

It was submitted by the defendant's Counsel, upon the
authority of cases cited, that the plaintiff must be non-
suited. This was an action for the use and occupation of
certain lodgings, and it was proved that the defendant
never did use or occupy them ; indeed, that she had never
taken possession of them.
On the part of the plaintiff it was contended, that there
was no necessity to prove an actual taking and enjoy-
ment. If there was a contract to take, and if the de-
fend int was not prevented from using and enjoying the place
by any act of the plaintiff, that was such a constructive
possession, particularly when added to the orders given
about the furniture on the Monday, as at least would jus-
tify the case going to the Jury.
The Learned Judge (W. B. PRENT, Esq.,) was of opi-
nion that there was no possession, and no use or enjoy-
ment, consequently the plaintiff could not recover in this
form of action.
The plaintiff was then nonsuited.

HOUSE OF COMMONS' LIBRARY.-This
library consists of only 4,150 volumes, and is very imper-
fect, having no collection of cases heard by the Lords or
Privy Council—even no complete series of private Acts of
Parliament, or of the Papers printed by the House's or-
ders. The contents of some of the presses are not known ;
one of them contains a green hag, which again encloses
" a Post-office bag of unopened letters of the year 1690."
What lots of Jacobitism and antiquated scandal may not be
lurking in this ! There are generally from 60 to SO
Members per day consulting the library. Strangers are
let in by an order from the Speaker.
A letter from Milan, dated the 2d instant,
say,, " The Austrian Government has become so mis-
trustful of the population of the Lombardo-Venetian
States, that, not satisfied with prohibiting the use of fire
arms under the severest penalties, it has published a de-
cree whereby all persons who are not agriculturists are
folliAden to carry any scythes, reaping hooks, hedging-
bills, and other farming instruments capable of inflicting
wounds; and all other citizens or artisans are itrerdicted
from carrying any such or similar instruments or tools on
Sundays or holydays, and from appearing with them at
any time in the public-houses or other places frequented
by the people ; and on the other days of the week, when
going to or returning from their work, all such instru-
ments and tools are to be covered up. All persons
offending against any of the above regulations are to be
subject to a summary punishment of from one to eight
days' imprisonment on being convicted Lefore a Police
Alagi•trate."

The Mkorictl Bora'elais has the following let-
ter from Irun, frontiers of Spain The Government has
sent off express orders for the immediate recal to Madrid
of the Infant Don Francisco de Pilule and ail his family,
who are at toe baths of Puerto Santa Maria, in Andalu-
sia. It is thought that this sudden and unexpected order
was occasioned by reports transmitted by the authorities of
Cadiz and Castile, which intimate fears lest the liberals
should avail thems,lves of the Prince's stay in that coun-
try, to effect a Revolution, by placing the Infant, who
is the King's youn,;est brother, at the head of the insur-
rection."

BRISTOL.— We have gloomy accounts of this
once prosper, us city. A friend of ours passed through it
on Saturday last, and states that in one house behind the
ion in which he slept nine persons were lying dead from
the pestilence. A must erroneous report too had got
abroad that the surgeons had admtnistred strong doses of
brandy and laudanum, and hutried their patients to the
grave before life was extinct, the infatuated populace met
the coffins, tore their inmates from their shells, and ex-
posed them in a most indecent manner, in consequence of
which the fatal disease propagated in various parts of the
city, and several of the ringleaders fell victims to their
barbarity, by having impregnated the infection. Corn
coerce had retired, and the population were retreating,
all in fact looked dismal and deserted. The Corporation,
although it cannot of course be blamed for the pestilence,
is considered the main cause of the divisions, hatreds, and
disputes in this sinking city.—Sherborne Journal.
From the 25th of March, 1823, to the same
day of the present year, 13,586 Irish poor have been
passed by sea from Bristol, at an expense of 5,4721. ls.—
The number in 1823 was 999 ; in 1827, 1,643 ; in
1830, 2,105 ; and in 1831, 3,548,—exhibiting a very
considerable increasing ratio. The whole of these are
supposed to have been brought from London.
" LOVE LAUGHS AT LOCKSNIITHS."—A
grave-digger, named ROFFEY, who lodges in a second floor
in Queen-square-place, Westminster, yesterday caught his
wife drinking with a soldier at a neighbouring public-
house. He parted I.er from her gallant, and having
dragged her home, locked her up. She tried at first to
force the door, but in vain. Resolved not to he foiled,
she threw tip the window, and jumped into the street. a
height of 24 feet. She sustained several severe injuries,
and was carried to Mr. ORD'S, a surgeon, in Queen-
square. She now lies i❑ a very dangerous condition.
The funerals at the parish burying-ground of
Walcot (population from 26,000 to 30,000) was, in July,
1831, 36 ; and in July, 1832, only 22 ! a decrease of 14. ;
and the grave-digger actually has lately been complaining
to several persons of the badness of his trade !—Bath
Chronicle.

POLISH HERIOSM.—At the storming of
Warsaw, the principal battery was defended by only two
battalions, but with such bravery as history can hardly
parallel. When it was evident thlt it could no longer
hold out, several privates of the artillery seated themselves
on powder barrels, and blew themselves up. But the
conduct of General Sowistsict was truly heroic. Having
lost one foot, be was, at his earnest request, seated on a
chair, and placed on the altar of the despt.rately•defended
church, where he contined to give orders until the last of
his comrades was cut down, when drawing forth two pis-
tols, he, with one, shot a Russian who was rushing upon
him, and with the exclamation —" So dies a Polish gene-
ral," fired the other through his own heart.—Atheneum.
How TO ESTABLISH A - NAME.—Dr.
PouTAL, who died lately in Paris, was in high repute as a
physician. It was really amusing to hear him relate to his
pupils
the manner in which he began business. Knowing
that in a great capital, like Paris, quackery answers well
I.uugh for thme without talents, the Doctor determined
for once to make it serve the impose of merit. To this
end he ordered his man, the only one that he kept, to
knock daily at all ifftelbotein in She city, and inquire for
Doctor Posac.7l:lo , ei,cootse\knenr any thing of
