THE POPLAR BOAED OF WOEKS.—This morning, on
Mr. Yardley taking his seat on the bench, Messrs.
Knight and Weetgett, builders, of Poplar, who are the
defendants in proceedings instituted against them by the
Poplar district Board of Works, accompanied by Mr.
Price, a barrister, and Mr. Beck, solicitor, entered the
Court for the purpose of opposing an application to be
made to the magistrate to amend a case which be
had stated for the consideration of the Court of Queen's
Bench ender the new Act of Parliament.

Mr. Hodgson, barrister, instructed by Mr. Morris,
appeared for the Board of Works, and recapitulated the
circumstances which brought the parties before the
Court. Messrs. Knight and Westgett had been sum-
monad to that court a few weeks since by the Poplar
Board of Works for refusing to pay certain costs incur-
red by the Board for demolishing a house built on the
Marsh Wall, Isle of Dogs, by the defendants without
giving the usual notices required by the Metropolis Laud
Management Act. The magistrate dismissed the sum-
mons, and said he bad no jurisdiction. His worship was
applied to to state a case for the consideration of the
Court of Queen's Bench, and had done so. That case
he (Mr. Hodgson) considered was defective, and ought
to be ameaded.

Mr. Price opposed the motion, and said the case
stated by:the magistrate was correctly set forth, and that
no new matter ought to be introduced. The magistrate
had stated that he dismissed the summons, and his
reasons for doing so.

After a long discussion, and the various points were
fought inch by inch by the learned counsel,
Mr. Yardley said the only point raised before him was
the alleged encroachment on the Marsh Wall. He had
clearly set out the summons, and his decision and the
point to be raised before the Court of Queen's Bench.
He refused to accede to the application, and in conclusion
said the whole discussion was irregular and the business
of the Court was obtructed. If the case he had stated
was defective the Court of Queen's Bench would send it
back for him to amend.

An attempt was made to revive the discussion, but Mr.
Yardley stopped it by saying, call on the police charges.

The Independance Belge was seized at Madrid on the
11th at the post-office merely for two lines in its corres-
pondence, in which it was said that M. Salaverria,
the Minister of Public Works, was imposed on M. Mon
by the secret influence at the Palace. The fact, how-
ever, is most true.
A letter from Marseilles, of the 1011 inst., states
that, during the previous 15 days, from 50 to 60 mercbart
ships, which sailed thence for various ports, but princi•
pally for the Levant, bad been forced to return and seek
shelter in the Frioul, many of them serely damaged.
The S.S.E. winds, which have prevailed at Marseilles
for several days, have prevented the ships in the port
from saliog.
