QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings at Nisi Prius, at Westminster, before Mr.
Justice WicuTmAN and a Middlesex Common Jury.)

BARKER V. DIARIGNAN.

Mr. Petersdorff appeared fur the plaintiff, and Mr,
Platt for the defendant.

This was an action to recover damages for an arrest
and alleged false imprisonment. The plaintiff is a livery-
stable keeper, and the defendant's horse and chaise had
been brcu.4ht to plaintiff's stable and put up there.
During that time the horse was baited. In about
half an hour after !he defendant arrived at plain-
tiff's stables, and calh d for his horse and chaise, on
which he was told that there was a shilling to pay. He
replied that his horse and chaise had not been sent there
by himself, but by the landlord of the Brown Bear, in
Covent-garden, and that, therefore, he should not pay
the charge di-manded. Upon this plaintiff told him:that he
detain should the horse and chaise until his demand was
paid, whereupon the plaintiff went out, and returning with
policeman. gave the plaintiff into custody, and at the
station-house preferred a charge of felony against him
for stealing his horse and chaise. To recover damage.
for thiJ causeless arrest and false imprisonment the pre-
sent action had been brought.
The jury found for plaintiff—Damages 101.
DAVIS V. CURLING.

This was an action against the surveyor of the high-
ways of tie parish of Tottenham, to recover damages
for the consequences of an accident which had been
occasioned, as was alleged, by his neglect. The plain-
tiff is a cowheeper, residing in Lambeth, and on the lw
January, 1843, he drove down to Tottenham in a one-
horse chaise, accompanied by his wife, to the house of
a Mr. N wsome, where he remained to supper. On his
return home his gig was upset in Marsh-lane, in conse-
quence cf his driving over a heap of gravel. The gig
was broken to pieces, and Davis and his wife were
both seriously injured. The former was confined to his
bed for three weeks, and was disabled from attend-
ing to his business for six we( ks. It appeared
that on each side of the lane there is a track
of greensward, on which it is customary to place heaps
of gavel for the repair of the road, where they are left
until th y are required. The heap in question, it was
contended, extended from the greensward into the road.
Several of the plaintiff's witnesses swore positively to
this fact, and also stated that they had, before the acci-
dent cccurred, frequently drawn the attention of the
defendant servants to the dangerous state of the par-
ticular gr el heap which had occasioned the accident.
Mr. PLATT (with whom was Mr. Bovile) having
concluded the case for the plaintiff,
Mr. PETERSDORFF (with whom was Mr. James), for
the defendant, submitted that he was entitled to the
verdict, on the ground that the defendant had not re-
ceived twenty one days' notice of the action, which, as a
public officer, he was entitled to, under the 109th section
of' the sth and 6th William IV., cap. 50, and that t'w,
p'aintiff must be nonsuited, even should the Court
decide no notice was necessary, because there was no
proof of the- allegation that defendant had received
distinct notice to remove the gravel, and that there was
no evidence to show that he had suffered the gravel to
remain there wilfully, or even to shoar that he knew that
it was there at all.

Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN having heard Mr. Platt and
Mr. Bovile in reply to the objections, refused to stop the
case, but rese'r'ved the points.
Mr. PETERSDORFF then addressed the jury for the
defendant.

Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN, in summing up, left these
questions to the jury—First, were they satisfied that
the defendant ever knew that the gravel was in the
place where it was ? Secondly, if he did so know it,
was it negligence and want of due care on his part to
leave it there ? Thirdly, if they answered the other two
questions in the affirmative, w;Te they satisfied that the
accident had been occasioned by such negligence ?
The jury then retired to consider their verdict.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
GLOBE.---The Irish clergy, as a body, seem by
no means satisfied with Sir Robert Peel's pretty-
clearly expressed intentions respecting the Roman
Catholic seminary at Alaynooth ' • and still less with
the increased grant for national education. On the
former question there have be( n some bitter personal
attacks on the Premier ; in which his conduct on the
Catholic question has been referred to, as indicative
of his leaning toward Romanism ; and of which
his
.present purpose of increasing the Parliamentary
grant to Alaynooth, with a view to render-
ing that seminary more efficient for the purpose of
training youth for the Roman Catholic priesthood,
is a mere continuation. The contemplated change in
the Dublin University, by which its honours and emo-
luments would be rendered available to numbers who
are now excluded from both, has also provoked a Pro.,
testant demonstration against Sir Robert Peel ;
which will, doubtless, be revived, and increased,
whenever the proposal is submitted in a tangible shape
to the University authorities. It is true that Sir R.
Peel has gained over some, and muzzled others
of the clergy, who were among the foremost in
denouncing the National system. Still there re-

STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian.)
Owing to the advance of the season, the demand for
yarn (which has bean so exceedingly active during the last
few weeks) has now somewhat abated, and rather lower
prices were yesterday, accepted for certain descrip-
tions of warps and of cop- wet lt, which had previously
commanded higher relative prices than other sorts. For
all the ordinary shipping numbers and qualities, however,
the prices remain quite as high as heretofore. Fur
goods, the demand is still limited, with a slight tendency
t© a decliue in prices, in some few fabrics.
ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, NOVEM-
BER 25.—The flannel market has been heavy, and the
Prices ruinously low. When trade is good, this month is
generally the busiest, and the demand continues up to
Chri,truas. Wool has been rather better to buy to-day,
but the inquiry for it continues very limited.
