DA NMI JUIIISPItobENCE.—A srhimsical case
occupied the High Court of Justice at' Copenhagen, the King
in person presiding, on the 2d instant. The Aldermen of the
Corporation of Carpenters entered an action against a joiner,
:who, with only the assistance of his awn journeymen and.
apprentices, had made a wooden paling round the yard Of his
house. For this he was arraigned
,by the Corporation of
Carpenters in the Police Court of Copenhagen, tier enmesh-
ing on, the rights of the Corporation of Carpenters, and
for practising a profession to 'which he was not entitled.--
The Police sentenced him to be confined for four days.
and kept on bread and water. On this the joiner appealed
to, the Supreme Court, by which the sentence was reversed,
and the joiner lei free, much . to the displeasure ~of the
worshipful body of carpenters. The Supreme Court of
Copenhagen consists of 12 ordinorii, who meet daily, ss long".
their Session lasts. The King always presides on the first day
of the Session, which Is the first Thursday in March, as writ the
case on the occasion of thitt trial. Brretittlis from Copenhag'eP,

average of cases before it was 214 ; from 1815 to 1010 (although
Norway WAS lost), 281; while, from .182'0 to 11128,
they have
amounted to within one of two thousand, averaging, of coursie
813 a year.

doubled and twisted solely by his fingers. The coat fits re.
markably well, is without a seam, 'and the neck, cuff's, but.
tons, &c: are fashionably formed, entirely by the knitting pro-
cess. Indeed, the garment might be worn with feral by a dandy

with his two incomparable needles, a bed quilt., two yards and a
halt' long by two and a quarter wide. - It was without a seam.,
and the 'Royal asons Arms exquisitely worked in the centre.
The quilt was presented by 11.Itontild to the Marchioness

A Cuttious ctirious apeeieS•
of fossil discovery was yesterday made in Englisb.street, by tlic
workmen employed in laying the gas pipes for this town. M.
the head of Queen.street, about two feet ,below the surface, 11"
second pavement was suddenly tonna to resist the points of thO'
mattocks, and on clearing away a larger portion of the PIO"
stratum, it was perceived that a regular bed of this description
ran half across English-street, and along it, towards the east
port, a length of from twelve, to fifteen yards. At the throe
level, and as it were, inserted in the pavement, several oaken.

decreased towards Fleslimarket.street, and was at t e extreme
point only one foot and, a half. This is accountedfor by the im-
provements which have from time to time been made by reducing'
the rise in the, street y which 4till existreto,a considerable degree,'
opposite the head ot Floshmarket,s!rt•ct. Tile cause to which.

We most probably owe it merelii to an aoentYtttlation of rub-

the supporters of some description of, flooring ;. and. perh4P.o'•

CURIOUS ANECDOTE OF LORD BAEON.--Arh"
the Earl of Essex was in the height of his great.
ness in Queen Elizabeth's time, there was a
book written by Sir John Hayward, who, to give
him his due, was a man of great knowledge, both
in his owli" profession and other -learning. The
book referred to the deposing of Richard 11., and
the gaining of the Crown by Henry Duke Of IA"
caster (Henry IV.) 'Phis book very unfortunatlY,
as it shortly after felt out, Sir John dedicated to
the Earl of Essex, and being questioned about
the contents, either by the Queen herself, or some
of the Privy Council, Master Bacon (soon after
Lord Chancellor), as one, of Queen's Counti4
learned in the law, was commanded to consider
of the said book and see if he could find any
treason in it. lie did so, and returnvi for an-
swer, that he found no treason but much felony
in it, for the writer had stolen whole leaves out
of Tocilus.—( The Lay-males Lamer.)
