part of the Muster's -Report which allowed Mr.
Waters to deduct th.e suns of 85451. as encuto-
beratires on the Opera-house, from the porchmse-

THK DRURY-LANII,CoMPANY

Mr. COOPER said, that as no compromise had
been entered into by the parties, he was. in-
structed by Mr. HART, the leading Couw.l for the
defendant, Glossop, to mote that the injunction
he discharged. --(See the Law Report in The Sun
of the sth -instant.)
The SOLICITOR GENERAL, Counsel for the
plaintiff, believed there would be no occasion to
trouble his Lordship further with thismatter:.
Mr. Coors remarked, that his Lordship bad
deferred giVing judgment, on the understandtng
-that a compromise would have been made before
this day. No compromise, however, •had as
vet been made, nor, if he was correctly informed,
was it likely that the matter would ever be com-
promised.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL believed, from what
he had heard from Sir Arthur Pi!/gott. the Conn;
sel for the Com"... tt---
ue agreed to out of Court.
-rtiG 'Loup CHANCELLOR.—" Let me knoW on
Tuesday whether or not a compromise has besen
!tilde; and if not I 'shall then give jinignient."

EXTRAORDINARY 9).Pra,rov..—A daring spirit of
insubordination broke out recently in the parish
of Coveney, in the Isle of Ely, which, had it not
been timely checked, might have led to serious
consequences. After four days' previonsdelibe-
ration, the poor (all receiving almi of the parish)
made a regular proclamation through the streets,
notifying that the poor would meet at the church-
yard gate on Erster Monday, in order to take
possession (out of the hands of the (coffees) of
the charity lands annually let for the general be-
nefit of the poor, and divide them severally among
themselves.. Notice of such illegal intention hay.'
ing reached the Magistrates of Ely, Sir Henry B.
Dudley issued his warrant for apprehending trine
of the ringleaders, who are couguitted tug fur-
ther examination.

IfkrOllDER.—A dreAdfol [wader was committed
at Btomsgrove, Worcestershire„ between twelve
and one on Saturday night, May I.—Two men
(onc a journeyman cornier) had agret.d to fight,
and went into the street for that purpose, but
having afterwards made up their difference, they
sent a man to a public house for some drink, and
sat upon the stocks while he went ; while in this
situation, the currier (whether in consequence
of another quarrel is not known) inflicted two
dreadful liabs upon the other 'nen, and immedi-
ately absconded. In six hours afterwards he was
taken in a public house, and being conveyed to
Bromsgrove, he was twice clearly identified by
the wounded man, who, we latueut to state, died
on the Monday following.

PaDESTRIAN FEAT.—James Bigmore, a lad
whose exertions in running by the side of stage-
coaches has excited notice in Suffolk and Norfolk,
accomplished an extraordinary teat on the 26th
ult.- He -started from Sudbury with a coach at
Ralf-past twelve at noon, and ran 1 k miles in the
first hour. On stopping at the different stages,
he took no test, but assisted in putting in the
horses, awl again set off with alacrity: In this
manner he kept up with't he coach the. whole way
to-Norwich, a distance of nearly 60 miles, where
he arrived five minutes before seven ; nor did, he
seem at all distressed, but walked.abtpt to view
the city. He has a very sickly and emaciated
appearance, is about 15 years of age, and of ra-
ther short stature. In order to breathe freely., he
placed a piece of cane between his teeth, so as to
keep kis lips partly open. The only recompence
he obtains for his labour is the voluntary 'contri-
bution of accidental admirers of his. feats.
