COURT OF EXCHEQUER.

The LORD CHIEF BARON sat in equity this morning, in
the Exchequer Chamber. His Lordship gave a very ela-
borate judgment in the case of" Colnere v. Tindetf," which
was a bill filed for the specific performance of a contract.
The defendant bad agreed to purchase an estate of the plain-
tiff, but afterwards refused to comply with the terms of the
agreement, alleging that there were doubts respecting the
title. His Lordship said, under the circumstances of the
ease (which possessed no public interest) the Court would
not call upon the defendant to complete his contract, and
therefore the bill must be dismissed. But be must say, as
it was a case of immense importance to the partie., he
trusted they would carry it, if not satisfied with this deci-
sion, to a higher Court.
Barons BULLOCK, GARROW, and Nr.aucirlar, sat in the
outer Court, when, after hearing a few motions, and there
being nu other business before them, their Lordships arose
at twelve o'clock. •

The Earl of MAYO and suite arrived in
Limerick on Friday last, and left the following day for
Killarney._ Waterford Chronicle.

In the storm of Friday night several trees
were blown down on the road near Montreath, and the
mail coach to Limerick was in several places impeded, till
the guards and coachman could have them removed.—

GENERAL MOURNlNG.—Yesterday after-
noon a public meeting of manufacturers and venders of
fancy goods was held at the London Coffee-house, Ludgate-
hill, to consider the propriety of petitioning his MA-
JESTY that he will be graciously pleased to curtail the
period at present customary in cases of issuing his com-
mands for general mornings. Mr. J. W. LIODEARD, in
the Chair. Mr. BROWNE, after dwelling at considerable
length upon the losses sustained by the dealers in coloured
goods whenever a general mourning took place, moved
that a Committee be appointed to inquire into the subject,
and report the result to a future meeting. After a long
discussion the resolution was agreed to, and a Committee
appointed.

U.IB,RIDGE.—Owing to the present high price
of bread, and the anticipation that provision generally will
be very dear during the winter season, the Lords in trust
of this town have (under the superintendance of Mr. ED.
13nowN, the present acting trustee,) re-opened the exten-
sive vaults, under the market place, and stowed therein
about 1,000 bushels of potatoes, in order to give away or
sell at a cheap rate to the poor inhabitants, as circum-
stances may require.—Bucks Gazette.

ABERDEEN.---The inhabitants of Aberdeen
are rather in hot water at present about an additional sup-
ply of cold water for the town. It is granted on all hands
that more water is wanted ; but one party is fur bringing
it, by means of steam.engines, rom the rivers Dee and
Don,—while the other party maintains stoutly that a suffi-
cient supply may be obtained from their own springs and
wells, without calling in the aid of that giant—steam.
The Commissioners of Police are for the former plan ; but
a memorial signed by above five hundred citizens, payers
of the police tax, was lately presented against this more
expensive system.—Edinburgh Observer.

SUICIDE.—_A dreadful circumstance occurred
on Friday last at Fermoy, between eight and nine o'clock.
A fashionablidreased young woman, wearing a large plaid
cloak and Leghorn bonnet, was seen by two boys to take
off her bonnet,. on the walk near Barnane Well, and throw
herself into the river ; they immediately gave the alarm,
and in about half an hour afterwards the body was found,
but the vital spark was extinct. It is said she is the
daughter of a highly respectable professional man, residing
in Fermoy, and that she and her husband only arrived here
from Youghal on Thursday, but no reason is yet assigned
for this rash and dreadful ext.... Tipperary Free Press.
