BYRON V. COOPER.

Their Lordships were occupied thevrhole day with the
arguments in this case, which came before the Court upon
appeal from the decision of the Court of Exchequer. The
question in the case related to the tithes of a parish in Lin-
colnshire.

The Solicitor• General, Mr. Bethell, and Mr. Bacon, ap-
peared for the appellants; Mr. Simpkinson and Mr. Ander-
don for the respondents.
The case appears likely to occupy two or three days in
argument.

CHANCERY..-(THIS DAY.)
CUMIN HOSPITAL P. EARL POWIS.-THE ATTORWEY-GENE

aIAL V.
The case came before the Court upon appeal from the deci-
sion of Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce.
The Attorney-General, 11r. H. Twiss, and Mr. Wray, ap-
peared for the Crown; Mr. L. Wigram and Mr. Lloyd for
the noble respondent.
The question in the case relates to a charity called the
Clurin Hospital, founded so far back as the reign of James
the First, by the then Earl of Northampton. In the year
1837 this charity was certified, by the Charity Commissioners,
I to the Attorney-General, the effect of that certificate being
to make the Attorney-General competent to file an informa-
tion without a relator, and to institute proceedings for the
regulation of the charity. In the month of July, 1840, a bill
was filed by the warden and poor men of the hospital, against
the Earl of Powis and the Attorney-General, praying that
the accounts of the charity might be taken, and that a scheme
might be approved for the future regulation of the charity.
Subsequently, and without any knowledge of the filing of
the bill, the Attorney-General filed an information against
Earl Yowls having the same object in view as the bill, and
to that information no answer was put in till a decree was
obtained from the Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce in the suit
tiled by the warden and poor men of the hospital, and it was
not ,until that decree was about to be passed that the Attor-
ney-General became aware that a bill had been filed. Upon
th►s discovery he submitted to the Vice-Chancellor Knight
Bruce that no decree for a scheme for the future management
of a charity could be made in any case except where the
Attorney-General was plaintiff. The Vice-Chancellor over-
ruled this objection, and from that decision the present ap-
peal was brought.
After some short discussion, it was arranged that the case
should stand over, to see if some arrangement could not be
come to by the parties.

SHERIFF'S COURT.-(THIS DAY
(Before Mr. Sheriff KFZTI.Z.EDY and a Common Jury.)
WILLIS V. MALTBY.

Mr. Thomas appeared for the plaintiff; Mr. Lock for the
defendant.

This was an action to recover 41. Is. 2d., for work and
labour, under these circumstances:—

The plaintiff, a cook, entered the service of the defendant,
a gentleman residing at Brixton, on the 12th of August,
1843, on an understanding that she was to receive 15/.
a-year for her services. She quitted his service on the 7th
of October, having been dismissed for alleged misconduct. The
action, therefore, was for a month's wages, and for board wages.
during that period. The plaintiff did not continue in the
service of the defendant during the month, but contended,
that by established usage, she was fully entitled to a month's
warning, or a month's pay. Moreover, the case being ag-
gravated on the part of the defendant, he having given her in
charge of a policeman, for creating a disburbance in his house,
and on a trumpery charge of throwing some potatoes into
the dust-bin. On reaching the station-house, he did not,
however, prefer any charge against her. One pound, seven
shillings, had been paid into Court.
Mr. LOCK for the defendant said, that the only parties
who would derive any benefit from this action,
should it be decided in favour of the plaintiff, would
be the plaintiff's solicitor and his Learned Friend.
The action was brought in the Queen's Bench in order to in-
crease the costs and to put the defendant to as much annoy-
ance as possible. It ought to have been tried at a Court of
Requests or before a magistrate—in either case, the expense
being trifling and such disputes as the one before the Court
amicably settled. He contended that the plaintiff was a bad
servant, that she behaved improperly and violently, and that
the defendant was perfectly justified in abruptly dismissing
her. He also contended that the 11. 7s. which had been paid
into Court was amply sufficient to compensate the plaintiff.
Verdict for the plaintiff, damages 41.15. 2d.
