LAW INTELLIGENCE.

In the House of Lords this day, the LORD CHAN-
CELLOR took a brief view of the Fife case, and said

that he 'would give final judgment on the third sitting
of the House after the Whitsuntide Recess.

The case of Fletcher V. Londes, in which judgment
was to be given to-morrow, is adjourned to Thursday

COURT OF KING'S BENCH—(Tuts D.tY. )
LEACH V. BARRAT.
This was an action to recover compensation for an
oppressive distress for rent. It appeared that the
plaintiff had been a weekly lodger in the defendant's
house, and owed 81. ss. for which all his furniture to
the value of 401. had been distrained, and sold by pri-
vate contract for 81. 15s. Independently of the dis-
tress being excessive and illegally disposed of, the con-
duct of the landlord and his agents towards the plain-
tiff was attended with aggravated circumstances.
The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—
Damages 301.

ROLLS COURT —(Tuts DAT.)
GRAVES V. lIEARLE.

In this case, a Gentleman of the name of John
Hicks, died in 1825,possessed of considerable estates
in Cornwall and Bucks, and leaving a will, by which
he gave a life interest in part of the estates to his
daughter, the defendant, with the remainder to his
grandson (by another daughter) the plaintiff. The
plaintiff, by his next of kin (being an infant) applied
some time ago to the Court for an injunction to re-
strain the defendant from cutting down timber, and
praying that a receiver and woodman might be ap-
pointed. The injunction was granted, but the latter
part of the prayer was refused. The plaintiff had ap-
pealed against that part of the prayer which had been
refused and was now pending. The defendant now
applied for a reference to the Master, to enquile whe-
ther it was necessary that certain trees should be cut
for the purpose of repairs.
Mr. HORNE appeared for Mrs. Hearle, the party
now applying.
Mr. SUGDEN, who appeared for the plaintiff, op-
posed the petition, and applied for the costs.
Other Counsel appeared for the testator's widow, a
co-defendant, who had an annuity charged on the
estates, and who also asked for her costs.
Mr. HOUNE said, the estates were charged with

annuities to a greater amount by 4501. than the an-
nual income of the estates, which, for some time past,
had been paid by Mrs. Heade.
His LonnstirP said, this petition neither stated the
nature of the suit, nor the state in which it was. He
had, indeed, learnt from.the bar that the bill had been
filed for the purpose of taking the usual accounts,
and, as it had been stated on one side, and denied on
the other, for the Court's decision upon the
rights of the parties. The Vice-Chancellor
had granted the injunction, and the present
application was, merely by a side wind, to get an
order modifying the injunction, or to dissolve it quo
ad the timber which the Master might think'neces-
sary to be be cut. If any application was necessaryto
have been made, it ought to have been made to the
Vice-Chancellor, and therefore this department of the
Court could do nothing but dismiss the present peti-
tion with costs, as against all parties.

The Haymarket Company is about to receive a very
considerable acquisition in the person of a Lady of
the name of Pinder, who has beenlor some time of

great and deserved provincial celebrity. She is a
Lady by birth and education, who from her state of
widowhood has been impelled to have recourse to the
Stage as a means of livelihood for a young and inte-
resting family. She is highly spoken of, as well for her
beauty as for her talents and fascinating manners, and
is, besides, valued by those who know her as a most
amiable and virtuous character.
Accounts are stated to be in town from Cadiz,
which mention that a fever of a most malignant kind
had appeal:o on the Barbary coast, and that in conse-
quence the Spanish Authorities had prohibited all in-
tercourse with the infected districts.
There is no truth in the reported removal of our
Ambassador from Vienna ; nor has his rtaidiency
quitted' that capital for,England. The mistako must
'have arisen from the departure of Lady Georgiana
‘Vellesley, who arrived in London this day se'nnight,
on a visit to her mother, the Dowager Marchioness
of Salisbury.
It appears by a notice in last night's Gazette, that

TIIE DISTRESSED MANUFACTURERS
(THIS DAY.)

A very numerous Meeting of the inhabitants of Lambeth was
held in the National School Room, for the purpose of entering
into subscriptions on behalf of the suffering Manufacturers.
Dr. D'Ormtv being called to the Chair, stated that this-
meeting had been convened in pumance of a requisition, very
respectably signed, addressed to the Parochial Authorities,
for the purpose of adopting some means for raising subscriptions
for the relief of the vast numbers of the working classes, now des-
titute of employment. The object was one purely so philanthropic-
that it required no advocacy to recommend it to public notice.—
,
Some gentlemen present were prepared to submit a few resolu-
tions, expressive of the feeling which was now so generally enter-
tained on this interesting topic.

A number of resolution* were theu adopted, and a considerable
collection was made in the room.; after which a Committee or
Collection was appointed, and; 'thanks being voted to the Chair-
man, the Meeting broke up.

Extract from a letter, dated Alexandria, March 4,
1826 ;—‘, There has been no activity in our Cotton
Market since I wrote last. We are not aware'of
single bale having been purchased for England subse-
quent to the 4,000 last advised. The price contames
fixed at 18 per cantur, but the Pacha refuses to enter
into further contracts for the present, as it is appre-
hended that not more than half the expected crop can
be gathered in for the want of hands ; and it is
more than probable, as the summer draws on, another
conscription will be made to support the war in
Greece. It is generally doubted whether 100,000
bags will come forward for exportation. Exchange
