ACTIONS FOR ALLEGED LIBELS.

" WOOD" AT THE SUIT OP " DOMBRAIN."—Friday last
a writ of summons was served by the clerk of " Robert
Farley, of Ashford, Kent, Attorney," on " Elizabeth Wood,"
of High-street, Canterbury, at the suit of " James Dom-
brain," "in an action of trespass." It was stated by the
person who served the writ, that it was " for a libel ;" and
it appears from a statement in a Tory newspaper, that it
has reference to " Mr. Dombrain in connection with the
case of Captain Hanchett." If this should prove to be so,
our readers may rely that we shall be prepared to meet the
case upon its merits ; but we must say, that from the
ground of the alleged " libel" being first made known to us
through a Tory newspaper, it looks more like an act of
party vindiaiveness than an anxiety to clear the character
of an individual. Besides, why is not Captain Hanchett,
the avowed author of all the remarks on Mr. Dombrain,
made the object of his attack—Captain Hanchett's state-
ments being printed and widely circulated long before they
were heard of in Canterbury ? We thing it must be agreed
that it would have been the more straight-forward and
manly course to have met the actual accuser. However,
as we are without any precise information, more than we
have stated above, we forbear at this stage of the business
to comment further on these rather extraordinary pro-
ceedings.
" WOOD" AT THE SUIT OF " CLARKE."—Mr. Samuel
Archbutt, of Symond's Inn, has served the publisher of the
Kent Herald with a writ of summons to appear at the King's
Bench at the suit of one Edward Clarke, who seeks com-
pensation in damages for the insertion of a paragraph on
the Bth of Jaauary last, respecting the dispersion of a gang
of (alleged) swindlers, which originally appeared in the
Times, and afterwards went the round of many of the lead-
ing London and Provincial journals, several of which have
been served with a similar process, though the chief ag-
gressor is probably overlooked. A more bare-faced and im-
pudent attempt to extort money never appeared upon the
face of an action ; but we can assure Mr. S. Archbutt, of
Symond's Inn, that if his client thinks to frighten us into a
compromise, he is much mistaken—not one farthing shall
he get from us unless at the hands of a Jury. We have
no fear from the decision of twelve honest and intelligent
men, who cannot avoid seeing the matter in its true light.
—Kent Herald.

BARBADOES.—A letter from Barbadoes has ar-
rived in Dublin, bearing date the 15th ult., from which it
would appear that sixty lives were lost among the shipping
during the hurricane. A public meeting bad been called
for the purpose of considering the best means of affording
relief to those who suffered pecuniary damage. The
bishop presided. Considerable subscriptions were entered
into ; and a balance of 2,0001., which remained in his
lordship's hands from the contributions on a former melan-
choly occasion, were handed over to a committee. The
poor people were actively engaged in rebuilding their houses.

EX PARTE CARMICHAEL SMYTH.

Mr. CARMICHAEL SMITH moved for a rule to show
cause why a writ of prohibition should not be directed to
the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, interdict-
ing them from proceeding further in a suit originally in-
stituted against himself in 1831 by his wife, in the Con-
sistory Court. The grounds upon which he made this
motion were, that the Privy Council had transgressed the
bounds prescribed to them by the Act of Parliament, in
ordering him to appear absolutely in a suit in respect of
which they had no jurisdiction. It appeared that Mr.
Smyth had appealed against a decision of the Arches Court
relative to this suit, and that the Judicial Committee had
`decided in his favour ; after which, and before they re-
mitted the case back to the Court of Arches, the Privy
Council ordered him to appear absolutely, in an appeal
which his wife had made from the decision of the Con-
sistory Court, though that appeal was not before them.
Mr. Smyth endeavoured to show that the Judicial Com-
mittee could not take cognizance of that appeal, as it was
not before them. He cited numerous authorities to show
that it was competent for any of the Courts in Westminster
Hall to direct a writ of prohibition to any other Court,
when they proceeded to adjudicate in matters over which
they had no jurisdiction. He contended that the pro-
ceedings in the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council
were corain non judice de facto,and corani non judice de jure.
Lord ABINGER observed, that though he was a member
of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, he had
never attended it, nor was it likely that he would be sum-
moned to attend in respect of this cause ; therefore he felt
no scruple in giving his opinion on this question. Now,
assuming that this Court had the power to direct a prohi-
bition to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, in
his opinion there was not a case in which they could exer-
cise such power. The grievance was, that even if the Court
of the Judicial Committee were wrong, it was in a Court
over which they had no jurisdiction ; for though they had
decided in his favour on the appeal, they had power to re-
view the cause ; and if they were mistaken in their judg-
' ment, this Court could not sit in an appeal from it ; true,
it was a grievance, that if the Judicial Committee pro-
nounced an erroneous judgment, there was no appeal from
it. But on the short ground, that if that Court chooses to
retain a cause, on any ground that they may think fit, they
may make any decree respecting it which they may think
fit ; a prohibition is not the remedy.
Mr. Justice PARKE said, that whether the Judicial Com-
mittee of the Privy Council were right or wrong in ordering
Mr. Smyth to appear absolutely, it was a step in a cause in
which they had no jurisdiction ; and as the law prescribed
no superior Court, if they were wrong, it was a wrong with-
out a remedy. A Court of final appeal may err, and there
is no remedy.—Rule refused.

PARLIAMENTARY PAPERS.

KING'S CHAPLAINS (SCOTLAND).
From an official Return, it has been ascertained that
there are in Scotland ten King's Chaplains, four of the
number being also Deans of the Chapel Royal ; that each
of the Chaplains has a salary of 501. annually, paid by the
Exchequer in Scotland under the authority of the Lords
Commissioners of the Treasury, and that three of the Deans
have certain other emoluments.

With respect to the duties performed by these eccle-
siastics, the Deans of the Chapel Royal and his Majesty's
Chaplains for Scotland officiate at the election of
Peers, and (as Dr. Cook says) would do the duty
of the Chapel Royal, should this be required upon
occasion of the King at any time visiting Scotland.
The appointments, however, are chiefly to be re-
garded as the few and extremely moderate marks of
favour best owed upon individuals supposed to have taken an
active part in the discharge of their theological and public
functions, or who have contributed to the promotion of
theological or general literature and science. The offices
which I hold, as above stated, were conferred on me partly
on account of my various literary productions, and partly
in consequence of the part which I took as one of the
Royal Commissioners for visiting the Universities of Scot
land. In addition to attendance on many occasions and in
different parts of the country, without remuneration, or
without even the expense necessarily incurred being de-
frayed by the public, I drew up the Reports relating to the
two Universities of Aberdeen, and the long Report as to
the University of Edinburgh ; and I also furnished to the
other Commissioners the first draft of the general Report,
which, after considerable alterations made by them, they
finally approved.

THE KING V. COPE.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved for a rule that the
verdict of Guilty, entered in this case at the trial before
Lord Denman, at the last sittings in London, should be set
aside, and that a verdict of 'not Guilty should be entered.
This was a proceeding against the defendant, the keeper of
Newgate, for refusing to receive certain prisoners commit-
ted on charges of misdemeanour by the Magistrates of Mid-
dlesex. One count in the indictment also charged the de-
fendant with refusing to receive a prisoner committed by
the Middlesex Magistrates on a charge of felony. On this
count no point would at present arise, as the Jury, as well
as the Learned Judge, at the trial, thought that with re-
spect to it there was no proof of an absolute refusal. The
question intended to be raised on the other counts of the
indictment was, whether, since the 4th of George IV., c.
64, the Magistrates of Middlesex had
,any power to commit
to Newgate persons charged with misdemeanours. The
object of that Act was to effect a proper classification of
'the prisoners, and that object had been carried into effect
by a special order made by the Court of Aldermen, under
the authority, as the defendant contended, of the Act it-
self, and in consequence of that order the prisoners com-
mitted for misdemeanours only had been refused to be
received at Newgate. By the 4th section of the Act in
question it was provided that " it shall be lawful for the
-Mayor and Aldermen of the City of London to make such
further rules for the government of the gaol as to them
.may seem meet." On the 6th of July, 1826, they did
make an order, reciting the Act and the power it gave
them, and then directing that by virtue of that power, and
to further the object of the Act, that the cells of such pri-
son should in future be only applied to the detention of
prisonets charged with felonies. The question intended to
be raised by the rule was, whether the Mayor and Aldermen
had or had not by this order duly exercised their autho-
rity.—The Court granted the rule,

ARCHES' COURT-MONDAY.

This being the first day of Term, the Dean of the Arches
and the Civilians and Proctors of the Court heard prayers
in the Court room. _

Herbert Jenner, Esq., was admitted in the usual forms,
as one of the Civilians of the Court.

WYNN V. DAVIS AND WEAVER.--JUDGMENT.

This was an appeal promoted by the Reverend Thomas
Wynn, from the Consistorial Court of Hereford, against
the admission of certain articles exhibited against him by
the Churchwardens of St. Nicholas, in the city of Here-
ford, Mr. T. Davis and Mr. James B. Weaver. The ci-
tation issued in the Court below called upon the Rev. Mr.
Wynn to answer certain charges preferred against him, of
having unduly and unlawfully published bans of marriage,
and married parties by virtue of such bans, who were not
resident in St. Nicholas parish. Another charge was, that
the Reverend Gentleman had not disposed of moneys col-
lected at the offertory after divine service, as directed by the
Rubric. On behalf of the Reverend Mr. Wynn, it was
contended, that the Court had no jurisdiction—that it was
cognizable by the Courts of Common Law, the new Marriage
Act having taken away the jurisdiction of the Ecclesiastical
Courts in such matters. The Learned Judge took time to
consider his judgment as to the admissibility of the articles
to proof.
Sir H. JENNER gave judgment this day, and after having
stated the contents of the articles exhibited against the
Rev. Mr. Wynn, quoted the case of Middleton v. Croft,
heard before Lord Hardwicke, in which his Lordship stated
that the canon law was binding on the laity, and a fortiori
on the clergy. Lord Hardwicke, in his judgment in the
case cited, expressed his opinion that that jurisdiction was
not repealed, but that the statute and canon law existed
together in punishing the identical offences alleged. Nei-
ther in the 2Gth Geo. 111., nor in the 4th of Wm. IV.,
was this power repealed in express terms, nor were the
provisions of the new law repugnant to the old. The whole
tenor of the present law continued in full force the power

of the Ecclesiastical Courts. In order, however, to con-
vict the Rev. Gentleman of felony, it must be proved that
he knowingly and wilfully, and unduly published the bans
and celebrated marriages of parties not residing in his pa-
rish. The Court was clearly of opinion that its jurisdic-
tion was maintained under the new marriage law. The
Learned Judge cited several cases which bad been decided
by Lord Eldon, and for these reasons be (Sir H. Jenner)
had come to the conclusion that the jurisdiction of the Ec-
clesiastical Court was not taken away. He then proceeded
at considerable length to describe the contents of the arti-
cles, which he directed to be admitted to proof, after va-
rious reformations had been made in them, pronouncing
against the appeal from the Court below.

GREENWICH PETTY SESSIONS•

Yesterday at the Greenwich Petty Sessions HOY
Hastings, Henry Howell, and Robert Graves three la;
bourers, employed in Greenwich Hospital, were charged
with stealing a quantity of lead and copper, value 349'"
the property of the Commissioners of Greenwich Hospital,
and Thomas Bayley and John Bayley, were charged with
feloniously receiving a portion of the same, knowing it to
have been stolen.
A professional gentleman named Lethbridge, attended oe
behalf of the prosecution, and Messrs. Flower and Carttar,
defended the prisoners.
As nearly the whole of the evidence against the prisoner)
has been very recently given it is unnecessary for us to re"
peat it at length.
At the close of the evidence, the prisoners' solicitor; Pt
mitted to the Bench that there was no case whatever ail
out against them, the only evidence against them being tbs
of an accomplice, totally uncorroborated in all essential Par.
titulars.
The Magistrates after a brief deliberation, stated till
they had come to the determination of discharging 11°wet'
upon his own recognizance, and of committing the oth
prisoners for trial, but, under the eircurhstances of the case'
they would admit them to bail.
Bail was immediately put in, and the prisoners were dig'
charged.

IN THE MATTER OF CHARLES BROWN.

The insolvent, an inmate of Nottingham Castle, was ar-
rested in June last, by a person named George Hallan, for
a debt of 25/., went to prison, and in August last was
heard on the Circuit at Nottingham, before Mr. Commis-
sioner BOWEN, when the Learned Commissioner ordered
the petition to be dismissed, on the ground that the arrest
bad been friendly. The insolvent had remained ever. since
in prison at the suit of Hallan, and now positively swore
that the arrest was hostile, and that he had no means of
procuring his liberty, unless the Court granted him another

hearing.
Mr. COOKE applied for an order for hearing at the en•
suing Circuit.
Mr. Commissioner HARRIS was surprised that the in•
solvent had not applied in September for the assistance o
the Court ; he should only grant a rule nisi.
Mr. COOKE said that the man would then lose the next
Circuit, which was fixed for the beginning of December.

The notes of Mr. CommissionerßOWEN were referred
to, and after a discussion the Court granted a rule nisi, re-
turnable on the Circuit at Nottingham ; and, in the mean
time, the petition and schedule to be filed.
The COURT disposed of thirteen• cases. On Wednesday
another adjournment will take place.

GREENLAW V. COX.

Mr. KINDERSLET moved that the defendants Green-
wood and Cox, the army agents, should pay a sum of
money into Court, the proceeds of the sale of an officer's
commission. The name of the officer was not mentioned ;
but it appeared that he placed his children with a family
of the name of Greenlaw for their education, and on this
account he contracted to them a debt of 2,4001., which
he secured by bills on his pay, and by a covenant affect-
ing the proceeds of his commission, if he should sell it.
It was a little time ago discovered that the officer, who
had been in foreign service, had just sold his commis-
sion, and that the money was in the hands of the de-
fendants, his agents. They were immediately restrained
from paying it over to him, and the object now was to have
the fund brought into Court.—The motion was granted.

INSOLVENT COURT-MONDAY.

The Court sat to-day to hear cases for the first time since
he autumnal vacation.

Ellen Jones, alias Ellen Simpson, a milliner and dress-
maker, came up for judgment.
She was opposed by Mr. WOODROFFE, on the part of
Messrs. Morliett, the bankers at Manchester, and supported
by Mr. COOKE.
The insolvent owed 9041., of which sum she had received
no consideration for 8671. She had, she alleged, improvi-
dently accepted bills of exchange to the amount of 4301.,
for a man named Lewis, with whom she had lived. The
bills were drawn by a Mr. Harvey, and she accepted them
at the instance of Lewis, who had left her some time ago.
Several of the bills, to the amount of 3771., had passed
into the bands of the opposing creditors, who now opposed,
on the ground that their debts had been incurred without
reasonable or probable means of paying them, and a re-
mand was prayed, for the protection of trade.
Mr. COOKE urged that the insolvent was entitled to the
commiseration of the Court.

The COURT, on the former occasion, held that the debt
with Messrs. Morliett had been contracted on the faith of
the bills, and the insolvent must at the time she accepted
them have known her inability to pay the amount, or any
part. The case stood over from the September sittings for
amendments, and to-day Mr. Commissioner HARRIS sen-
tenced the insolvent to an imprisonment of. six calendar
months, at the suit of Messrs. Morliett, for contracting their
debt without means of payment.

THE KING V. THE OUSE BANK COMMISSIONERS.

In this case a mandamus had been obtained against the
defendants last term, commanding them to execute certain
works under the terms of the Act of Parliament.

Mr. KELLY now moved for a rule to enlarge the time to
the first day of next Trinity term, for the purpose of ena-
bling the defendants to make a final return to the manda-
mus. His application was founded upon an affidavit speci-
fying in detail an outlay of nearly 20,0001. since the grant-
ing of the mandamus, and it was anticipated that the entire
sum of 40,0001., required by the Act to be expended in
setting back the banks and repairing the bridges, &c.,
would be laid out within that period.:—Rule granted.

EXCHEQUER COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

PINNER V. ARNOLD.

This was an action for the balance of an- account tried
before Mr. Baron GURNEY, at the sittings at Westmin-
ter, after last Term, where a verdict was found for the
plaintiff, with 101. ss. damages.
Mr. CliwroN this morning moved, by leave, of the
Judges, for a rule to show cause why the verdict should
not be set aside, and a nonsuit entered. The action was
brought to recover the balance of the agreed-upon price
of a Copper-plate Printing-press.
The defence set up was that the press was defective, and
that more had been paid for it than it was worth.
The Jury, after hearing all the evidence, went out for
about an hour, and then returned a verdict for 101. 55.,
the sum claimed ; but they also found that the press was
defective, and the plaintiff was to put it right. That, of
course, was a verdict for the defendant ; but they were
again sent out, and at the end of three hours applied to
Counsel on both sides to withdraw a juror. The plaintiff
would not agree to that, and the Jury, after beinc, again out,
found a verdict for him. As the sum was so small, he (Mr. C.)
was obliged to move for the nonsuit, on the ground of the im-
proper reception of evidence. There was an agreement put
in at the trial, by which the plaintiff agreed to make a press
for 901., to be warranted for 12 months ; that agreement he
(Mr. C.) contended, ought not to have been received in
evidence, as it was not . stamped. The agreement was
clearly not for goods, as it was for a press not then
in existence, but for one to be made ; therefore, it was not
within the exception in the Stamp Act with regard to an
agreement for goods. He relied upon the case of Buck-
stone v. Bennett, in 3d East, as an authority upon the
point.
Mr. Justice PARKE enquired whether the same principle
as now contended for would not apply to an order given
to a tailor for a coat—that was not made up, yet the tailor
must bring his action for goods sold and delivered. A
stamp would not be required in such a case.
The LORD CHIEF BARON said the case of Buckstone
and Bennell was decided by only two Judges, and was
never much relied upon, and it had frequently been over-
ruled since.—Rule refused.

KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)

PERKS V. ATTERBURY.

Mr. THESSIGER moved in this case for a rule to show
cause why the verdict for the plaintiff should not be set
aside, and a new trial had, on the ground of misdirection by
the Learned Judge. It was an action for negligence on
the part of the defendant's servant, tried before Mr. Justice
Parke at the last Hereford Assizes. The plaintiff was pro-
ceeding, in a gig between Watford and London, and the
night being dark, it was alleged that the defendant's servant,
who was drivinr, a waggon in an opposite direction, came in
contact with the gig, by which it was upset, and the plain-
tiff's wife thrown out. There was no evidence of the ac-
tual contact, but it was proved that the track of a waggon-
wheel was observed, within the track of the gig, and on the
wrong side of the road. For the defendant it was alleged
that this track was that of two other waggons which were
following that of the defendant, and passed immediately after
the accident. The Learned Judge at first thought the
plaintiff should be non.suited, but afterwards recommended
a compromise. Damages to the amount of 55/. were
proved, and the Learned Judge having charged the Jury
in terms favourable to the plaintiff a verdict of 30/. damages
was returned, after several hours deliberation. .

Lord DENMAN—Did my brother Parke say that the
plaintiff ought to be non-suited ?
Mr. THESSIGER—He did, my Lord, in my opinion ; but
when I reminded his Lordship of it, he said that no human
ear had heard him say so, and of course I must have mis-
understood him.

The COURT deferred giving judgment until it had con
suited with Mr. Justice Parke.

THE EARL OF EGREMONT V. SAUL.

Mr. CRESIWELL in this case moved for a rule to show
cause why the verdict for the plaintiff should not be set
aside, and a new trial had on the ground of misdirection on
the part of the Learned Judge. It was an action
of debt for toll tried at the last Cumberland Assizes, before
Lord Abinger—Verdict for the. plaintiff, 3d. The defen-
dant had purchased some cattle at the Fair of Wigton, and
several leases were put in, but the charter by which the
tolls of the fair had been originally granted to the plaintiff
had not been proved. The charter had been put in on the
part of the defendant, and it was as to the effect of that
charter that the misdirection complained of had arisen. It
was dated so far back as the 3d and 46fri Henry the 111,
and the only mention of toll as regarded these fairs and
markets was in the following words " Cum omnibus liberta-
tibus liberis consuetudinibus hugusnzodi marketum pertinen-
tibus." Lord Abinger stated that in summing up he should
tell the Jury that that was a clear and distinct grant of toll.
In his opinion " consuetudo" was the proper term for toll,
and in the Doomsday book " consuetudo" meant customary
toll. The Learned Counsel contended that that assertion
of Lord Abinger was not warranted in point of law.
Lord DEN MAN—Take your Rule.—Rule Nisi granted.

TAIT'S MAGAZINE.

The digests of new books are no where so well ma-
na2-ed as they are by Mrs. Johnstone, in Tait's Maga-
zine. She does not merely skim the surface—as Re-
viewers are so apt to do—but fetches out the very
heart and marrow of the work. Thus her notices of
the Life of Kean, and Mrs. Butler's American Journal,
contain the substance of all that is worth reading in
the volumes, and this within the convenient limits of
some ten or twenty pages I Many and able as are
Tait's contributors, he has none more valuable than
Mrs. Johnstone, to whose critical notices we always
turn with interest, in the firm conviction that our
hopes of entertainment will not be disappointment.
The " Melbourne Ministry" contains some pertinent
hints, and is penned in a manly spirit. " Ministers,"
says the writer, " have hitherto been trading largely
on the credit of their intentions. Generally, they have
shown good dispositions. Far, therefore, are we from
seeking to shake, much less to withdraw, the confidence
placed in them. We will give them longer and larger
credit." Sentiments like these do the Radical party,
of whom Tait is one of the most influential and straight-
forward representatives, infinite credit ; and will much
increase their moral influence with the community. "Po-
litical State of Canada" shows some practical ac-
quaintance with the subject, but is dull enough to have
been written by Roebuck. We regret we cannot notice
this Number at greater length, or give extracts from it ;
but our space is so circumscribed by Parlianientary
and other matters, that we have nothing left for it, but
to hurry abruptly to a conclusion.

ST. JAMES'S-PALACE, Juxr 24, 1835.
This day the following Address from the Ministers and Elders
of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, was presented
to his Majesty, by a Deputation ; which Address his Majesty was
graciously pleased to receive on the Throne :
Most Gracious Sovereign,
We, your Majesty's faithful and loyal subjects, the Ministers and
Elders of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, beg
leave to approach your Majesty with the renewed assurance of our
attachment to your Person and Government.
The rapid increase of population, especially in the manufacturing
and commercial districts in Scotland, having rendered essentially
necessary the increase of the means of religious instruction and
parochial superintendance, we have observed with the most lively
gratitude, that this very important subject has engaged your Ma-
jesty's paternal regard ; and that, in the Speech from the Throne
at the opening of the present Parliament, your Majesty has com-
mended it to the attention of the House of Commons.
We beg leave to express to your Majesty our deep felt convic-
tion of the urgent necessity of adopting some efficient measure for
extending the means of spiritual improvement, and our earnest
desire and hope that your Majesty's Government may continue to
have this subject under their serious consideration, and may devise
such plans as shall, under the divine blessing, issue in the religious
and moral improvement of the people under our care.
That your Majesty's paternal desire to afford your subjects more
extended access to the ordinances of divine worship may be speedily
realised, and that you may be blessed abundantly with all spiritual
and heavenly blessings, is the earnest desire of, may it please your
Majesty, your Majesty's most faithful, most dutiful, and most loyal
subjects, the Ministers and Elders of this General Assembly of the
Church of Scotland.

Signed in our name, in our presence, and by our appointment,
WM. AIRD THOMSON, Moderator.
Edinburgh, May 22, 1835.
To which Address his Majesty was pleased to return the follow-
ing most gracious Answer :--
" I rely with confidence upon the loyalty and fidelity of the
Church of Scotland; and I receive with satisfaction this renewed
assurance of your attachment to my Person and Government.
" It is my anxious wish to extend the benefits of religious wor-
ship and instruction to all classes of my subjects; and my most
serious attention will continue to be directed to the best means
of effecting this important object."
