Shortly after ten o'clock, Lord Langdale (the Master
of the Rolls), the Vice• Chancellor of England, and Mr.
Baron Rolfe, took their seats in the Old Hall, Lincoln's
Inn, as the Lords Commissioners of the Great Seal.
Immediately upon their Lordships taking their ■eats the
usual oath was administesed to them by the Clerk of the
Crown (Viscount Crowhurst), the eldest son of the Earl
of Cottenhare. The Old Hall was considerably crowded
to witness the ceremony. Mr. Dowds, with the oldest
Master of the Court, was in attendance upon their Lord-
ships, and upon the motion of Mr. Swanston, the senior
member of the equity bar, the oath their Lordships had
taken was ordered to be recorded.

The ceremony having been concluded, the Vice-Chan-
cellor of England retired, in order to sit in his own court,
and Lord Langdale and Mr. Baron Rolfe proceeded to
hear appeal motions.

VICE-CHANCERY.--(THIS DAY.)
(Before the VICE• CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.)
His HONOUR having disposed of the cases of Robinson
v. Hedger and Adshead v. Chapman, proceeded to hear
motions, but no case of any interest came before the
Court during the morning. His Honour will sit in his
Court at Westminster to-morrow, in consequence of
having been subpoenaed to give evidence in an action
brought in the Queen's Bench by Mr. Dimes against the
Earl of Cottenham, which is specially appointed for to-
morrow.

(Before the Vice-Chancellor KNIGHT BRUCE.)
His Hortoua did not sit till eleven o'clock to-day. His
Honour heard motions, but no case calling for a special
report came before him during the morning.

QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings at Nisi Prius, at Westminster' before Mr.
Justice WIGHTMAN and a Special Jury.)
THE COUNTESS DE SALTS V. BAGLEY.
- _

This was an action for a breach of covenant. The
defendant is the lessee of an estate of which the plaintiff
is the owner. and the alleged breach of covenant con-
sisted in the defendant's having cut down a great num-
ber of timber trees and trees in a cherry orchard on the
estate.

Sir F. THESIGER (with whom was Mr. Sergeant
Shee) opened the case of the plaintiff, and was about to
call witnesses in support of it, when
The ATTORNEY• GENERAL, who represented the de-
fendant, intimated his inclination to refer the matters in
dispute to arbitration, a suggestion which was eventually
acceded to by the counsel for the plaintiff, and the case
was withdrawn.

COMMON PLEAS.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings at Nisi Prius before the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE
and a Special Jury.)
The Court resumed the case of Doe dem. Goodwin v.
Joyce this morning, which occupied the whole of ye9e
terday's sittings. The proceedings were not concluded
when our report left.

SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BURCHELL.)
WHALLEY V. BURNS AND OTHERS.

This was an action brought on a replevin bond given
to the Sheriff of Warwickshire and ssiigned to the
plaintiff
The case was before the Court on the last Court day
but withdrawn, the plaintiff not being prepared with evi-
dence. Defendants had in the first instance denied the
execution of the deed, but now admitted it under a judge's
order.

The question raised on the last occasion was whether
the plaintiff was entitled to the full amount of the penalty
of the bond which professed to be taken for double the
value of the goods, the penalty being 121.
The Learned UNDER•SHERIFF held that the plaintiff
could only recover the value of the goods, and evidence
was now adduced to show that they were of the value of
121., and a ♦erdict was given for that sum.
The other cases heard this morning were on bills of
exchange, and undefended.

COURT OF COMPENSATION,
GUILDHALL.—(THIS DAY.)
COMPENSATION FOR THE DEATH :or A WIFE.-LAVE V.

GRAHAM.
This was an action brought by the plaintiff, to recover
compensation for loss sustained by him by the death of
his wife, occasioned by the negligence of the defendant.
Deceased fell into a cellar of defendant's house, in con-
sequence of the flap of the cellar being left open, on the
evening of the Ist of January last; the cap of her knee
was broken, and she died in a fortnight.
For the defeace it was contended—first, the accident
occurred through the carelessness of the deceased;
and secondly, that deceased did not die from the actual
injury, but from other causes.

The jury, after a short consultation, gave a verdict
for 20/.

MARLBRO'-STREET._(THIS DAY.)
RUFFIANLY ASSAULT ON A FEMALE.—Henry
Williams, a cabman, was placed before Mr. Bingham
charged with violently assaulting Eliza Penny.
The complainant, whose face and eyes were much
swollen, stated that about ten o'clock last night she was
proceeding down Oxford-street, when the prisoner came
up to her and entered into conversation with her. After
talking together some little time she was induced to
accompany him to a public-house, where they had some
refreshments. After leaving the public-house he took
her to another house, were he wished her to stop
with him all night, and on her refusing so
to do he struck her several times in the
face with his fists and knocked her down. While lying
on the floor he again struck her, knocked two of her
front teeth out, and blackened both her eyes. Her cries
brought some of the people of the house to her assist.
ance, who secured the prisoner and gave him in charge to
a constable who happened to be passing at the time.
She was still suffering severely from the injuries she
had received.

Mr. BINGHAM commented strongly on the prisoner's
cowardly conduct, and, as a warning to him for the future,
fined him 51., and in default committed him for three
months.

POST-OFFICE NOTICE.

STOPPAGE OF THE SUNDAY DELIVERY.
The following notice to the public, and instructions to
all postmaster, sub-postmasters, and letter receivers,
was posted at the General Post-office this morning:—
On and after the 23d instant, there will be no delivery
of letters throughout the United Kingdom on Sunday,
nor will there be any collection of letters, whether by
messengers, letter-carriers, receivers, &c., on that day.
A collection, however, by means of boxes will still be
permitted on Sunday, us at present, at the receiving-
offices, whether in towns or in the country, and at the
chief offices in towns, &c., it being clearly understood,
that letters deposited in the receiving boxes shall remain
unsorted and untouched until the Monday, and that there
shall be no attendance of postmaster or their clerks at
the window of the Post-office on Sunday.
The present practice of detaining letters addressed to
the metropolis itself, when posted on Saturday, until the
dispatch on Sunday, will not be disturbed, with the ex-
ception that the bags containing such letters must be
closed on Saturday night, and as the mails will be
transmitted on Sunday in the usual manner,. it will be
necessary that some person shall attend to dispatch the
bags alluded to as well as to receive or forward those
bags that have arrived from other offices.
Postmasters taking upon themselves to deliver letters
to any parties whatsoever in contravention of these
orders, will be most severely punished.
