ROLLS' COURT.

His Honour, the MASTER of the RoLLs, at the sitting
of the Court to-day gave judgment in the following

case :

BAINBRIGGE V. BLAIR.

His HONOUR said that several questions were raised in
this case ; some upon points of form, others upon the
merits. The objections in point of form were, that what-
ever the case made by the plaintiff might be she was not enti-
tled to take any benefit under the release which had been
executed ; and that the Court could not look upon such
release, but was bound to direct an issue upon the will.
The state of the pleadings was somewhat singular ; but as
they had been the subject of an order of the late Master
of the Rolls, who gave the plaintiff leave to file a
supplemental bill, for the purpose of stating the deed of
release, he should not now observe upon them. The
supplemental bill had been filed, and he (the Master
of the Rolls) was bound to look at the pleadings in
this case precisely as if the two bills had been in-
corporated in one. The case made by the bills was that
the testator's heir-at-law, Mr. Joseph Bainbridge, had
executed a deed to confirm the will. It was admitted that
the will was well executed, and the heir at law tendered
his assistance to give effect to its provisions ; but it was
now contended that in such a case the Court had no juris-
disction, and the argument in behalf of the heir at law was
founded upon the supposition that a Court did not esta-
blish a deed though' it established a will. Under all the
circumstances of the case, he (the Master of the Rolls)
apprehended that no doubt could be entertained that the
defendant, the heir at law, had estopped himself from dis
puting the testator's will. The plaintiff had a clear right
to have the will established, as the heir at law had effectu-
ally relinquished that right which the rules of the Court of
Equity gave him, viz., of trying the validity of the will by
an issue. He reserved the question Of costs.
(This same cause then came on on the original hills
which contained no point of any interest.)

A SPLIT VOTE.. -..4t a 14te election an elector,
that hikd outrun the constable, came to the poll to vote :—" I
shall give one vote to Mr. A.---one vote to Mr. 8.," said he ;
-,-" And another vote to me l" added a Sheriff's officer, giving
the astonished voter a plumper on the shoulder.

HAMBURG, FEBRUARY, 183.
HEINE BROTHER S, Contractors for the
GREAT LOTTERY, published and drawn by authority
and nnder guarantee of the Hamburg Government, beg to inform tke
public, that the 65th Lottery of 10,000 Tickets will be drawn on
the 18th of next Month ; and Tickets are now selling at 108 marks
banco, or 81. The prizes are lof 100,000, lof 50,000, lof 30,000,
1 of 20,000, 1 of 10,000, 2 of 5,000, 4 of 3,000, 7 of 2,000, 20 of
1,000, 40 of 500, and 1,500 of 108 marks, which 1,578 money
prizes are altogether stated 'n marks baneo, and payable without any
deduction whatever; 4,000 tickets being delivered gratis to th e holders
of the 2,000 first-drawn tickets, as per scheme, these purchasing
one ticket, at the trifling *oat of 81., may obtain three prizes, and
thus, if fortune proves favourable, gain 180,000 marks banes, at
the present exchange, equal to 13,0001. sterling. Owing to the
gratis-tickets, the number of tickets on sale is a very limited one,
so that, of course, they will be cleared off very rapidly, and a
rise in price eecur very soon. Those desirous to purchase at the
present first price of Si., are requested to direct, by one of the
first mails, but only for wkole tickets, to the above-named Con-
tractors, Heine Brothers, in Hamburg. Those remitting a 101.
note will receive an order for the balance of 2/., together with
the ticket, by return of mail ; on the other hand, those preferring
to pay Heine Brothers' draft for the cost, are recommended to pay
such draft immediately when presented. A full scheme, and every
desirable information, being always sent with the tictlets, those
giving orders will only have to write a line, ordering the ticket or
tickets, adding the money, or an order for the same, er stating the
mode of payment that may be more convenient to the orderer, and
giving their full and plain directions, to secure the safe receipt of
the communications. Those honouring Heine Brothers by pur-
chasing, may depend en the strictest secrecy, as to their taking a
ehai.ee sr getting a prize ; such being the undeviating rule of the
old-established and most lucky Office.

COURT OF REQUESTS.

WHITE CHAPEL.
John Pinker appeared to answer the complaint of James
M'Gouch, a man-milliner, for W. 15s. 9d. Pinker requested
to be allowed to sing dumb, and that his wife should beg
permitted to plead in his behalf as the better spokesman 01
the two.

COMMISSIONER—How was the alleged debt incurred?
M‘Gouch—Vy, please your Vorship, Miss Mary Anne and
Miss Caroline, the daughters of these 'ere folks, vanted to
cut it fine, you see, and so they comes to my shop and they
buys a silk dress and shawl, for which their mother went
security.

Mrs. Pinker—Oh, you shocking man, I never did 110
such thing.

Mqxouch—Vy, I gave the things into this 'ere veman's
own 'ands.

Mrs. Pinker—On, you nasty man, you never did 0
such thing.

M‘GotiCh—Pll swear she came to my shop and pro-
mised to be security.
Mrs. Pinker—Oh, you terrible man, I never seed your
shop with these two eyes, as sure as I'm a woman.
M'Gouch—l say now don't you go for to say as 'ow you
didn't say you'd not pay for that 'ere dress.
Mrs. Pinker—Oh, you wicked man, you knows that
you's gammoning their honours.
The COMMISSIONERS having ascertained that the bus'
band had not been a party to the agreement dismissed the
complaint, remarking that M'Gouch had been frequently
before the Court in similar cases, and recommending hill'
to be more cautious in future.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

GUILD-HALL.
, Yesterday, a respectable looking young woman, named Sarah Barnes
who recently carried on trade at No. 23, Jermyn-street, as a dealer in
ready-made linen, was brought up by Roe, the City officer, on a warrant,
charged with uttering a forged acceptance to a bill for 201.
Mr. Elkins attended as Solicitor for the prisoner, who has been lately
gazetted as a bankrupt ; and Mr. Wooler for the prosecution.
Mr. Wooler called Mr. Williams, an Irish factor, in Bow Church.
yard, the holdtr of the bill, who received it from Mr. Philips, of Gutter.
lane. When it became doe it was not paid, but the prisoner wrote that
it should be attended to in a few days. He held another bill, bearing
the like acceptance, which had been partly paid.
Mr. Lloyd, warehouseman to Mr. Philps, of Gutter.lane, linen.
agent, said he received the bill produced (drawn on Henry Maxwell,
Esq., of Turnham Green; Middlesex, and accepted by him, but made
payable at the prisoner's residence) on the 10th of October, for goods
sold and delivered to her. He asked her who Maxwell was, and she
said he was a most respectable man, living on his property, and residing
at Turnham Green. She accounted for drawing the bill upon him by
stating that she had furnished goods to him and his son.
Mr. Wooler said he could carry his case no further then, but on a
future day he would produce the witness upon whose testimony the
warrant was issued. He would prove that he had lived many years
near Turnham-green, and was a collector of rates there, but he had no
knowledge of such a person as Henry Maxwell. The witness had served
the office of overse:r in the parish.
Mr. Elkins said his defence was, that the acceptance was the accep-
tance was the genuine handwriting of Mr. Henry Maxwell, who, how.
ever, might not be now living at Turnham-green; but he was not in a
situation to produce him, because he would be immediately arrested
for debt. Indeed the object of the charge was only to get an opportu-
nity of arresting him. He would prefer, therefore, that the prisoner
should at once be held to bail, to answer this charge at the Sessions, as he
could then produce Mr. Maxwell on a subpcena, which would protect
him from arrest in going to and coming from the Court. If Mr. Wooler
would undertake that he should not be taken in his way to or front
Guildhall, Mr. Maxwell should attend before the magistrate.
Mr. Wooler said he could not give such an undertaking. He might
undertake for his own client, but not for anything else.
In answer to a question from Mr. Alderman ANSLEY, the prisoner
said Mr. Maxwell was in the habit of accepting bills for her, perhaps to
the extent of 3001.
To show that Mr. Maxwell was not an imaginary being, Mr. George
Arnold, a glove manufacturer in Berners-street, was called, who said he
had received acceptances written like the present from •the prisoner.
She reletred him to a solicitor in Symond's Inn, who did business for
Mr. Maxwell, and who satisfied his inquiries. Had one bill addressed
to Turnham-green. Never saw Mr. Maxwell write, and did not know
where he lived.

IRELAND.

COURT OF CHANCERY.
(From the Dublin Freeman's Journal.)
A few days since, on the calling on the Chancellor's list of bankrupt,/
motions, Mr. Woulfe, K. C., opened the case of a poor trader of 641:
way, one of whose relatives had, as Mr. Woulfe stated, issued a conntuP
sion bankrupt against him, on the evidence of tha creditor's sister, wh°,,
had called on the poor man, as if to warn him that her brother I's"
issued a writ, and was about to arrest him, through the fear of Which'
it was stated, the trader had himself denied when the creditor called,
Mr. Woulfe was, with his usual abilities, commenting on the suspici'lls.
conduct of the creditor, and characterizing the issuing of a commies
of bankrupt under the circumstances as founded on trick and frauds
when on a sudden the Learned Gentleman stopped, and was observed
if consulting with Mr. Hatchell, K.C. The Chancellor, whose cluic
e
manner of doing business is so remarkable, appeared surprised at th
delay; whin Air. Woulfe stated that he was placed in the most
barrassing situation—le had, in fact, been advocating a case against the
interest of his own client: The bar and all in Court here became 3Pf;
patiently convulsed with laughter. On a calm ensuing, Mr. W°ll'
explained that Mr. O'Logblen. K. C., had, before his departure. for Y.
Liam: nt, lett the brief (Mr. Woulfe) was stating the case from Wt
him, and in the hurry of business he had quite overlooked the circuo
stances in which 11., ha ,1 been placed.
The Chancellor, who, during the Lughter of the auditory, had. !P'
peared meat anxious to address Mr. Vs ulfe, in the kinne,t and re'-
handsome manner said—" I myself was once placed in a similar
tints to I\lr. Woulfe. I stated a cast in F.:.gland against my own diem'
and, it appeared, so ell.. dually, that the Court de( id. d with me. 11'..e.
mater al.erwards came bet ,re two other tribunals, and my client Ao'
unfortunirte. A story is also told, I think, of Lord Mansleld
sated a case very stiorigly for a party, and, on concluding, discoverttrl
tha' he was a .eaking o.i the wrong side, he continued—" my 1.1),:t.
is the case that will, no doubt, be stated on the other side ; .but now
me s at, my el ent's cas ," &c. Lord Chancellor Sugden'a kind obsett. '-
thins were very remarkable, and well timed.
sir. Hatchet!, K.ng's Couns.l, proceeded with the case, which -148
Lordship finally a, ranged by ordering an issue to be tried as to Vile eS;
traordinary circumstances under which this commission issued.--at the
same time recommending whatever party was wrong to beware 11
withdraw in time, otherwise, when he ascertained who was wronß, 4 e
should know how to deal with him.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Silt,— My attention has been directed to a leading article
in the Times of yesterday, which is very smart, at the expense
of an alleged proposal of mine for "a tax upon salmon," as
a substitute for the stamp-duty upon newspapers. As it is
possible that these comments may induce some persons to
believe that a proposal of the kind really was made by me,
and as I don't know whether the Times would correct its mis-
statement at my request, I shall feel much obliged to you if
you will allow me to avail myself of your columns, in order to
deny that I said a word about salmon in the debate on the
newspaper duty, or seriously recommended any substitute what-
ever for that tax. What I said was, "that if a deficiency in
the revenue, to the amount of 100,0001. per annum, should re-
sult from a reduction of the stamp-duty, I had no doubt that
Ministers would be perfectly ready to make up that sum by
a tax on salaries, or some other equally popular tax."
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,

FALMOUTH.

The report of the proceedings in the House of Lords on
Saturday and Monday is highly amusing. We cannot but
laugh at the " flare tip " which the Corporation Reform Bill
produced among our hereditary legislators, who imagine that
in their lordly heads is concentrated all the talent and wisdom
of the country. In truth it was a sorry exhibition. Their
Lordships remind us of a pig in deep water, which animal, in
striving to save its life by swimming to the shore, kills itself
by cutting its throat. We hope the Lords, Spiritual and Tem-
por;.l will not commit an act of filo de se, in their vain and
futile endeavours to 'cave the corrupt, self-elect corporators
and usurpers of municipal rights of the millions of inhabitants
in the incorporated cities and boroughs of the United King-
dom. These parties their Lordships had better lesve to their
merited fate, and lo to the preservation of their own
" order," which is fast sinking in the estimation of all wise
and good men. In this town the Reformers received the in-
telligence of the proceedings adverted to with feelings of in-
dignation and alarm, to which they gave utterance in the fol-
lowing petition :
" To the Honourable the Commons of the United Kingdom of
Great Britain and Ireland in Parliament assembled:—
" We, the undersigned, the mayor, deputy-recorder, aldermen,
burgesses, and inhabitants of the town of Falmouth, having wit-
nessed with deep regret and alarm the reception which the Muni-
cipal Reform Bill, after having three times passed your Honourable
House without a division, has met with in the House of Lords,
humbl) petition your Honourable House to address his Majesty,
praying him to take such measures as will insure the speedy passing
of that Bill, in the same state, in all its essential parts, as received
from your Honourable House, and unaccompanied by any amend-
ment that may have a tendency to nullify its popular clauses."
This petition was signed by a great number of the inhabi-
tants of Falmouth in the course of a very short time.—Fal-
mouth Packet.

THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, AUGUST 11, 1835.

EXTRA ORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCE

WAN STEAD FLATS ON FIRE.
Since Thursday last a good deal of excitement has been
produced in the minds of the inhabitants of Wanstead, Essex,
the Forest-gate, and the surrounding neighbourhood, in con-
sequence of an immense extent of that part of the common
close to the forest and adjoining the Wanstead property being
on fire. It appears that nearly three weeks ago the fire origi-
nated through, perhaps the burning ashes of a tobacco-pipe
being let drop upon the earth, and the soil or loam being of a
Peaty substance, it spread with a most incredible rapidity.
Though observed, no attention whatever was paid to it, as it
was supposed by the inhabitants that it would exhaust itself,
or that a few hours' rain would effectually extinguish it.
Owing, however, to the extraordinary dryness and heat of the
weather, as well as the nature of the soil, as before stated, it
spread with extraordinary rapidity, and it was not until Thurs-
day last, when it presented a somewhat alarming appearance,
that attention was directed towards it, and it was then found
that upwards of 25 acres was one solid mass of fire, and that in
many places it descended to a depth of two feet from the sur-
face. Finding then that it was still rapidly increasing, the
inhabitants procured a number of watering-carts, belonging to
the Essex turnpike trust, and employed them during
the whole of Friday and Saturday, and a part of Sunday, in
carrying water from a pond, with a view of extinguishing
the fire. Owing, however, to the distance from which the
water had to be conveyed, and the difficulty of putting the
water on the parts burning, as the horses, as on ordinary occa-
sions, could not walk over the burning surface, so as to drag
the cart after them, it was found quite impracticable, for while
at one place they were stopping the progress of the fire for a
few yards, in another it was making rapid progress in its ex-
tent ; and on Sunday night it spread itself over a surface of
at least thirty acres. The inhabitants being unable to check
its progress, recommended Mr. Speering, the deputy of Mr.
Long Wellesley, who is Steward of the Forest and Lord of
the Manor, to communicate the circumstances to Government,
and to apply for a sufficient number of sappers and miners to
dig a trench of sufficient breadth around the part burning, so
as to confine it within that space, and preventing it extending
further. This was done without delay, and a number of sap-
pers and miners yesterday arrived from Woolwich, and, as-
sisted by other workmen, commenced without delay to dig the
trench as before stated. Wanstead Flats is a common over
which the inhabitants of the neighbourhood have a right of
pasturage for cows, horses, &c., and the destruction of such
an extent of it at this season of the year will be severely felt.
