SPECIAL INJUNCTION.-HURLEY V. FLE AY*

Mr. WEST applied for a special injunction ex-parte in
this case to restrain the defendant, who was the lessee
under the plaintiff of a farm called the South Farm, at
Southleigh, in Devon, and also his work men, or agents,
from selling or removing any of the crops off his farm.
From the affidavits it appeared that the defendant had been
guilty of several acts of waste ; had advertised various parts
of the produce of the estate for sale by auction ; had actually
sold other parts, and removed them off the premises ; and
had expressed his determination to destroy the estate in
toto. It was sworn by the plaintiff that within the last
few days the defendant had said that be would
be - if he did not sell every bit of corr.,
have all the straw carried off the premises ; that he would
plough and break up every field, and play - with the
estate, and would not pay one farthing of rent after
Midsummer. Under such circumstances, the Learned
Counsel considered the Court would feel itself imperatively
called on to interfere for the preservation of the estate of
the plaintiff.
His HONOUR thought the case was one requiring the
immediate interposition of the Court, and granted the
injunction.
His HONOUR, having disposed of all the motions ready
for bearing, rose shortly after one o'clock.

COURT OF INQUIRY, DUBLIN, JUNE 22.

CRIM CON.-CARMODY V. MOORE.

Mr. GRAYDON, counsel for the plaintiff, stated
the case. It was an action brought by the plaintiff,
Donat Carmody, in the Exchequer, against the de-
fendant, Edw. Henry Moore, by whom no plea had
been put in, consequently no trial was had, and for
want of that plea judgment had been allowed to go
by default. Phis Court was held in order to assess
the quantum of damages to which the plaintiff may
be entitled for the loss of his wife's society and his
domestic happiness.—Damages were laid at 5001.
This was a species of action heretofore uncom-
mon in this country. Plaintiff was in the employ-
ment of a most respectable mercantile house; the
defendant holds a lucrative situation in the King's
Bench office; the parties herein named were
married in 1829; in October 1830, the plaintiff
opened a grocery establishment in Watling-
street; some dealing in the mercantile way took
place between the plaintiff and the defendant; the
latter dealt with the former. On the 19th April,
1831, he resided in Watling-street; that night
on plaintiff retiring to bed, he attempted to open
his parlour-door, but it was bolted ; he endeavoured
to get in—at last he did get in—he found his wife
in exceeding confusion and embarrassment—the
window was broken—he suspected her much—he
believed the defendant had made his escape that
way—he charged her with having dishonoured him,
which she promptly denied—she eloped after that,
but he was prevailed upon to take her back again,
owing to the interference of friends—a few :lays
after the 19th of April, 1831, she again left him—
he discovered soon after that she was living at
Harold's-cross, cohabiting with the defendant as his
wife, in an adulteroaw intercourse.
Anne Buckley, sister to Mrs. Carmody—Her
sister had been married about nine years; they had
one child alive ; she was present at the marriage,
but she had very few opportun ides of seeing her
sister.

Patrick Fitzgerald proved that Carmody and his
wife lived very happily together; he knew them
afterwards in James's-street, were also for sometime
they lived happily together; Carmody, before him,
forbade Moore from coming to his house.
Mrs. Mary Waddick resided in Harold's Cross,
and proved Mis. Carmody and Moore living in a
room at her house, with an infant baby and servant
maid ; they lived there us man and wife, under the
name of Kearny.

Mr. Keating on behalf of the defendant said, the
defendant did admit an improper intimacy had ex-
isted between Mrs. Carmody and himself, but con-
tended the plaintiff was only entitled to nominal
damages, fur, he argued, if connivance and collu-
sion could be shown in this case, that was all he
could claim. Moore, he said, was not a person able
to pay damages, being at this instant in a prison.
After hearing evidence for defendant, the Jury re-
turned a verdict of Gd. damages, and Gd. costs.

The " Private Correspondence of a Woman
of Fashion" is now before the world. Much anxiety has
been manifested in many quarters to see this book, for
although the preservation of the letters (which were not
written for publication) has been known to many, few
imagined the possessor would ever venture to print then).
The anecdotes, in spite of the precaution of employing
initials and asterisks, will easily be referred to the actual
parties who figure in them.

We have the greatest pleasure in stating that
Lady VERNON, with his Lordship, and the Hon. Mr.
G. J. VERNON, have transmitted to Mr. WINTERBOTTOIL
the sum of 2501. towards the expense of erecting ti,e
.Infirmary in Stockport, and this, it ought to be known,
is in addition to a gift of front land, measuring 54 yards
by 60, part of the site whereon the building is to be
erected.--Stockport Advertiser,

A very remarkable case came on in the Justice-
room in the course of yesterday. Several Stock-
brokers and others interested in the fate of lottery
rickets, attended to hear the result. A carpenter,
named Bloys, applied some days ago, at the office of
Hazard and Co., Stockbrokers, and, presenting a
very tattered and torn, and stitched together old lot-
tery ticket, dated 1822, begged that the clerk would
examine his hooks, and let him know what the fate
of it was. Upon the examination of the books, the
clerk found that the number which the ticket bore
had been drawn a 20,000/. prize; but the appear-
ance of the ticket excited suspicion that some frau-
dulent ingenuity had been exercised upon it; and,
as it was a half share, the establishment thought
proper to be rather particular, before they parted
with ten thousand pounds, and detained the ticket.
The ticket was exhibited. It was very much worn,
particularly about the place sshich contained the
number, and which was stitched together in an ex-
traordinary manner. In fact, the people at
Hazard's considered it a regular forgery, and pointed
out the spots where each figure was, according to
their view of the case, stitched in for the purpose
of constituting the number which had been drawn
the capital prize. The account given by the car-
penter, against whom they now resolutely and in-
dignantly brought a charge.of forgery, was not cal-
culated to remove the impression, that there had been
unfair manoeuvring practised in the business. He
stated that he had found the ticket in an old ham-
mock of his brother, who had been a sailor, and had
lately died, and he afterwards contradicted that
statement. The story of the finder, as it now stands,
is curious, and there is a great deal of simplicity in
his manner, which cannot fail to impress many, that
if a forgery has been committed, he has had no hand
in it. He undertook, he says, to bury a friend of
his, who had been clerk at a wharf in the City,
upon condition that he should receive whatever
furniture the deceased owned, and a small sum of
money. Amongst this furniture was an old flock
bed, which, as soon as he got home, he began to
rip up. He had not proceeded far in his work,
when he came across a piece of dirty paper folded
up closely together, and in the paper he found an
Abraham Newland Bank of England note for 10/.,
and two lottery tickets—the one a sixteenth, and
the other the half-share in question. Upon taking
the sixteenth to Bish's, where it appeared it had
been purchased, he learned that it had been drawn
a blank. The half-share, which was exactly in the
condition in which lie presented it at the office of
Hazard and Co., it seemed, entitled him to 10,000/.,
and he thought it very severe that the prize should
not only be withheld, but that he should be subjected
to the treatment of a felon for laying his hand upon
what all were in the habit of considering a piece of
good luck. Upon being asked what became of the
10/. note, the carpenter replied, that he changed it
at the Bank of England almost immediately after he
laid his hand upon the treasure; but he did not
recollect the day of the month on ,which he had
presented it.
Mr. Spencer, the solicitor to Messrs. Hazard and
Co., submitted that the case was clearly a case for
a Jury, and represented the necessity of requiring
unexceptionable bail; he really thought that if the
carpenter were allowed to go at large without enter-
ing into any responsible securities, the case would
terminate at once, instead of being brought into a
Court of Justice.

Mr. Ilobler, jun. said that the carpenter's account
of the transaction, and his whole conduct upon the
occasion, had been such, that if attorneys were not
bound by the rules of Court not to become bail for
their own clients, he (Mr. nobler, jun.) would
scarcely object to be one of the securities.
Mr. Spencer—lf he is allowed to depart, I shall
never expect to see him again; I most decidedly
consider this to be a forgery, and I charge the de-
fendant with it.

The defendant stood unmoved all this time, and
told his solicitor that he could procure bail to any
amount required. He was then required to come
forward with two good securities for 1001. each,
and to be responsible himself in the sum of 2001.
Mr. Van Caneghen, late his Netherlands Majesty's
Consul for China, applied for advice in what manner
to proceed for the purpose of recovering possession
of a black boy, of rare abilities, who had been
stolen from him on the preceding day at the White
Hart Tavern, Bishopsgate-street. The Ex-Consul
stated, that about two years ago he had purchased
the boy, who was now about fourteen years' old,
and whose name was Maboct, at Java. It was
not long before the boy manifested very great
montal powers, and every opportunity was afforded
him to improve the gifts of nature. So rapid was his
progress, that he became a complete writer of the
English, French, Spanish, Dutch, Malay, Bengalee,
Arabic, and Persian languages. Maboct was not
insensible to the indulgent disposition of his master,
but was assiduous in the performance of his duties,
and was soon made free. He, however, without
assigning any reason for it, disappeared on Monday,
and Mr. Van Caneghen was apprehensive that he
had been taken away by some designing persons—
at all events, it was not likely that the boy's situa-
tion would be bettered. One of the officers said
that Maboct had been seen with a gentleman in a
splendid cab in the course of Monday, and appeared
to be regularly hired. Mr. Van Caneghen said that
the poor boy had sent him home his livery, so that it
appeared to be his determination not to return. He
(Mr. Van Caneghen) regretted the circumstance
greatly, for he was an old bachelor, had no child,
and never intended to marry. Indeed, he felt to-
wards the boy as if he had no nearer tie, and he had
resolved to provide for him. The Ex-Consul then
begged, that if any tidings reached the Mansion-
House concerning his unkind servant, Mr. Hobler
would be so good as to write to him the substance
at Bordeaux.

B OW- STREET.
Mr. G. Courie, bookseller, of 312, Strand, ap-
peared before F. A. ROE and G. R. MINSIIULL,
Esqrs., to answer to three informations under the
60th George 111., for selling Nos. 1,3, and 4, of a
weekly publication, containing news, &c., called
the Church Examiner and Ecclesiastical Record,
the same being without a stamp, for which defend-
antwas liable to a penalty of 20/. on each publication.
Mr. TILSLEY appeared in support of the informs-
dons; and Mr. Carpenter for the defendant, who
pleaded not guilty to each information.
George Colley proved the purchase of the several
numbers of the defendant at his shop in the Strand,
on the 4th of June.

Mr. Carpenter (of political celebrity) cross-ex-
amined Colley, who said that he received a sum of
money for every conviction that he obtained.
Mr. TILSLEY called the attention of the Magis-
trates to the publication, to prove that they contained
ews,intelligence, and comments thereon. The papers
were published periodically, as was proved by their
numbers and dates; and he called upon the Magis-
trates, therefore, to convict the defendant in such
penalties as they might deem proper; the act al.
thanio"' fivei"ga poundsmiti
gati.on on each conviction to not less
Mr. Carpenter denied that any articles of news
wereinserted in the Church Examiner. Those
which had
been read were at least a fortnight
old; and the question was, whether such articles did
not become matter of history after such
.a lapse of
g
time. Another point which he would raise against
a conviction was, that the Church Examiner was
" a religious work published for pious purposes."--

Witness re-examined by the Solicitor to the de-
fendant—He did know who kept the shop where
the publications were sold by the defendant; he
(witness) had no means of living but from the penal-
ties which he received on convictions of this kind ;
he had been discharged from the new police, but it
was not because be swore that the Commissioners
of Stamps authorized the prosecution of Figaro,
which was discovered afterwards to be false.
The Solicitor for the defendant said that no reli-
ance could be placed on the evidence of the witness.
Mr. MINSHULL said that himself and Mr. ROE
would consider these informations, and give judg-
ment in a few days. He thought this evidence
might have been of a more satisfactory and less in-
terested character, and it would have pleased him
better. It is believed the informations will be
quashed.
