PUBLIC DISTRESS.

COYE.•••••-it seems we were misinformed as to the non-
existence of distress in the Great Island 'and in the town of
Cove. So far from the numbers requiring relief being con-
fined to two persons, we have good reason now to know,
that there are upwards of four hundred persons within that
district in a state of utter destitution. We have had the
personal assurance of a resident gentleman, a magistrate,
on the island, that within a,few days two persons have died
of actual starvation. We know now, though we did not
when the paragraph setting forth a very different state of
things appeared in our paper of Saturday, that a Com-
mittee of the respectable inhabitants of Cove has been
formed to meet this exigency, and we have the authority
of several members of, this Charitable Association for
stating the existing distress 41 be so great as we now re-
present it.• -The Cove Committee are, we understand,
preparing an 'appeal to the public, and whatever aid the
Press can afford them we will give with great earnestness.
Ktsisst.E.—There is no part of this extensive County
labouring under 'greater distress than this populous town.
A great portion. of its poor inhabitants consist of persons
who used to derive subsiettenee, and, in some seasons, a
comfortable living from fishing; but the present season has
lieea extremely unproductive. NITe do not underrate the
windier of these men when we net it, down at 1000, and
we should rather leave the public to judge, than attempt
ourselve to describe, what their situation and prospects are
at this moment. A subseription was entered into at Kin-
sale some time*ago. What ids amount or distribution was
we donut kno'w ; but this ;wt do know, that it is exhaust-
ed, and that i 1 NWIVt hing he ifot done, there must be—dis-
tress awl despair. The POI' tows are condenmed, and
would to God there was 14,t, a case made out to call for
theta. But it is idle art Anger to evade the subject.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

* COURT OF CHANCERY, SIM. I.

. • INJUNCTIONS.
Mr. SPENCE said he had an application to Mike to his
Lordship for an injunetiMn to stay waste; and it was of
an extremely pressing nature. The stream of• certain wa-
ters in Lincolnshire had been diverted, and the consequence
was, that while one part of the country was flooded, another
part was dried up for want, of water.
The Lotto Citsm :mum said he would hear the motion
at the beginning of next week, or at any other time more
convenient. to the parties. He wished it to be understood,
that the Court of Chancery twas alWays open for injune-
dons to stay waste, and tot i.prevent
:irreparable mischief.
The' Court for these purp(fiteS was never closed; and he
recollected many instance in which he had heard and
granted such injunctions at his country seat, as well as at
inns on the road, to and front his country seat. He would,
therefore, hear this motion at any time.
Mr. SPENCE mentioned Monday next.
-The. Lotto -Ctmemott. had rather take the ease on
Tuesday or Wednesday, because he meant to reserve
Saturday and Monday for reading over some of the eases
upon which judgment was to be given. In the earlier part
of this week he had intended to have devoted Wednesday
and Thursday to this Purpose, but his attention had been
unfortunately taken oil' by other duties, which he was
compelled to perform. He had thus neglected to read
some cases .which he now proposed to read to-morrow and
Monday. On Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday next,
he should be ready to hear any thing of a pressing nature,
and he should sit in hi. room on those days for that purpose.
• • JUDGNIENTS.
An elderly person, nearly at the termination of the pro-
eeedi»gs of the day, addressed his Lordship, and presented
an old man who appeared to be bending under age, and
suffering from infirmity, and holding a trumpet to his ear.
" This poor old retort, 75 years of age,' said the person to
his Lordship, " is Mr. Noble, the bankrupt, whose ease
remains for judgment before your Lordship. All he wishes
to know is, Mal her lie entertain any hope of obtain-
ing judgment in toe ease before *or Lordship rises."
The LORD CHANCEI.I.OR—" Tell him I will satisfy him
if I can."
The old man's friend hoped he had not done wrong in
asking for the judgment, but the old man was worn down
with age, and oppressed with anxiety to know his fate.
The Lotto CHANCELLOR told hint he had done quite
rightly, and repeated that he would do what he could
for him.
In the case of Hill v. Reardon, which respects the claims
on the French Government, his Lordship threw out some
observations, and remarked upon the importance of the
ease. He knew the parties were very anxious for this
judgment before the vacation, and he would give them sa-
tisfaction if possible.
His LORDSHIP promised judgment in Rose v. Manning,
and Baddington v. Troyer, on-Tuesday, anti in Russell v.
Sharp, on Wednesday.
