LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, GUILIMIALL.—(Tats DAY.)
CARELESS DRIVING.
BAIRD AND WIFE V. JENKINS.
Mr. CHITTY stated, that the declaration in this case alleged,
that on the 19th of March last, the defendant, with his son as his
servant, so carelessly rode a horse, that the female plaintiff was
rode over and materially injured, for which the action had been
brought.
Mr. BROUGHAM was for the plaintiff; Messrs. GURNEY and
ANDREWS for the defendant.
The Court observed, that as this action had been brought jointly
by the husband and wife, no damages could be recovered for any
Loss the husband might have sustained from the want of his wife's
society and services, and therefore that probably the better way
would be for the parties to agree to refer this consideration, and all
matters in dispute, to arbitration. This course might prevent the
necessity of another trial.
The gentlemen at the bar, consulted together for a short time,
and then stated that their clients had agreed to adopt the course
suggested by his Lordship,
The damages were laid at 5001.
CORPE V. BLACEETT.
Mr. MARRYATT stated the case. The action was brought to
recover the sum of 4451. 2s. Sd. an alleged balance of an account
for work and labour done. The defendant had pleaded non as-
:int:pit. The plaintiff was a bnilder in Poplar, and
the defendant was a ship builder at the same place. The
defendant being desirous last summer, to have his house improved,
employed a surveyor to make an estimate of the expence ; the amount
of the estimate was 6501. The plaintiff then entered into an agree-
ment that he would do the work for the 650/. There
was a clause in the agreement binding the plaintiff to have the
work completed by a given time, otherwise that he should
pay 201. a-week to the defendant for every week the work re-
mained uncompleted after the specified time. Mr. Marryatt under-
stood the defendant meant to take advantage of this clause, but
the fact was, that at the defendant's own request, a room had
been left for some time unpapered, in consequence of the plaster-
ing not being dried so soon as had been expected. Money had
been paid on account, leaving the above balance, and the Learn.
ed Counsel had no doubt of recovering ;verdict.
Mr. GURNEY'S cue was, that the work had been improperly
left uncompleted.
The LORD CHIRP JUSTICE thought this ease also had better be
referred to arbitration, which was agreed to.,

The circumstances in which the country has been

unexpectedly placed have necessarily occasioned
a stagnation in many of the most lucrative branches
of our Trade, and a consequent falling off in our

Revenue. This was foreseen by the most shallow

calculators, and if the amount of that falling off

las exceeded the Estimate which, had been made of

~ still the deficiency is not of sufficient amount to

occasion any uneasiness as to the permanent Re-
venue from those sources. Th• causes of the stagna-
tion of Commerce are temporary, and with their re-
moval, and the revival of Trade, which all accounts

combine to lead us to expect, the Revenue will, we
trust, in the present quarter, receive an additional im-
pulse. It is gratifying also to observe one feature in
the account, namely, the increase of the Excise Duties,

the last quarter. This proves that the most im-

portant branch of the trade of the Country, namely,
its internal consumption, is increasing materially, and
with it of course the comforts of its population.
The late hour at which we received this statement

prevents our offering the detailed accounts to-day, but
we shall lay them before our Readers to-morrow.

The French Papers of Sunday, and the '-
Monday morning, reached us last night. The latter
contains an article from Odessa, dated the 19th Sept'
which contains intelligence of the greatest iniportence•
as regarding the affairs of Russia on her distant
Frontiers.
It is stated that the irruption of the Persil° has
been the signal for an almost general insurrection in

disposal of its merchandise by the incursions of the
Persians into the Russian Provinces.
It is impossible to say what may not be the °lse-
