The Master of the Rolls yesterday, in giving judg-
ment in cases for the reduction of bills of costs, many of

be arranged very agreeably otherwise.
In the Court of Queen's Bench a rule for a new trial
was granted in the case of Edgely v. Tassull, on the
groand of excessive damages, and of misconduct on the
part of the jury. It appeared that after the jury had
been locked up some hours, they sent in a message stat-
ing that they were completely exhausted, and request-
ing to be allowed some refreshment. The request was
allowed by the attorneys on both sides. The result was
rather an extraordinary one. The " exhausted" jury
contrived to drink three gallons of stout in about the
same number of minutes, which they had no sooner done
than they ordered two gallons more, which was refused,
and they then almost immediately brought in the verdict
in question.

ter St. Leger stakes, in 1844, the same being the view of
the race of 1841, published at the head of the Eclipse
