Mr. MARTIN delivered his opinion in the Hampstead
Lodging's Case, on the claim of W. H. James, of Hamp-
stead, which had been reserved. His decision was against ,
the claim, and Mr. James's name was accordingly expunged.
Mr. Martin's opinion in this, case was approved of by the
agents at both sides.
The other cases were but of little interest.

TALES OF THE PEERAGE AND THE PEASA.N-
TRY.—EDITED BY LADY DACRE.—These delightful vo-
haws contain three tales. In the first, " The Countess of
N;..lsrisdale," Lady Dacre has evinced great talent and skill.
"rho character of the Countess is perfect, both in design
and execution. " The Hampshire Cottage" is a simple
tale of humble life, developing the best feelings, and enforc-
ing the purest morality, in the course of a narrative which
interests and pleases us. • The third tale, " Blanche," is of
a different class from the preceding ones. The scene is
more varied, and the personages belong to a more elevated
sphere. But there is the same truth and fidelity to nature
which distinguishes the Hampshire Cottage." Theodore
Hook himself could with difficulty improve on the scene
with Mrs. Colonel Jones. We could point out some
others of equal merit ; but we must take our leave of these
very pleasing volumes, and their very clever author.—

SINGULAR OCCURRENCE IN GALWAY.—In
1830, a lady came to reside in Galway, bringing with her
a yery.interestimr daughter about eight years of age. Tile
husband of the lady had deserted her, and no tidings of
him could be had. Whilst in Galway, she married again,
and died in childbed of her first child by the second mar-
riage. Upon coming to Galway she was engaged by a.
most respectable lady in town to give lessons to her children,
and the lady was so struck with the child of the visiting
governess that she took it into her house and generously
afforded it a home. All this time the poor child knew no-
thing of her father ; she supposed him to be dead, and the
second husband of the mother had left the town. Sud-
denly, and quite unexpectedly, a great change came across.
the views of the doubly orphaned object of the benevolent
lady's care ; for a few days ago the first husband of the
visiting governess—the child's father—who was considered
dead, arrived in Galway from India, with a considerable
sum of money, the fruit of his industry. He inquired for
his wife, and found that she had been the wife of another,
and had. gone to the grave. He then inquired for his
child. He discovered her abode and claimed her as I,ls
own. The lady, .beneath whose roof she had been !aur-
tured, was most anxious to retain her, but the retuned
parent could not be prevailed upon, and after p0i:414.:1g out
his grateful acknowledgments to the humane 1r,4" y who had
been a mother to the reputed orphan, he, left with his
young charge for the county of Cavan.—Gythmy kishnien.
The North River Times, publis2lea at Haverstraw,
tells of a young upstart of a d'..;ctor- who has recently
" settled" in that village, who was a few days since called
to visit a lady who had taken cold in a thumb, from which
she had extracted a thorn, and which had become inflamed.
Young Bolus immediately administered Z'ao grains of calo-
mel, and, after watching the thumb wit'n great anxiety for
an hour, he poke'?.. down a thumping dose of jalap, anali
went his way. - In the course of the day he
.again
and had the satisfaction to find his patient enjoying a hap;)y
state of purgation. but still rui alteration in the thumb ;
whereupon he sent home. hnother round dose of calomel,
and left her for 142,e night. The lady, burning with an.
inward fev",:i.,
is- • and unconscious of' the nature of the drug
nad taken, drank plentifully of cold water. Salivation
ensued ; and, though she saved her thumb, she lost . her
teeth, and what is worse, her health is sacrificed for. ever.
The husband commenced a suit for damages, but the doctor
proved that in all cases of this kind the practice in question.
would be according to Gunter, or in other words, was
scientige ; so that, in addition to the loss Of his wife's teeth
and health, the plaintifflost his suit, and had to pay his
own costs !—New York Sun.
