An unusually numerous Meeting of the Mid-
dlesex Magistrates took place yesterday at the
Sessions-house, Clerkenwell-green, for the purpose
of considering the motion of which Mr. Sergeant
Pell had given notice, for a grant of 100,000/. for
the erection of the proposed Lunatic Asylum, and
also for the disposal of the other county business.
The Chair was taken by F. CONsT, Esq.
The Report of the Committee for auditing the
County Treasurer's Accounts was read, by which it
appeared, that on the 28th of June, there was a
balance in the Treasurer's hands of 3,600/. It con-
cluded by recommending an assessment of a half-
penny in the pound.—Agreed to.
Mr. HOARE renewed the subject of the state of
the prisons, but it was decided that as no previous
notice had been.given, the question could not be
entertained.

LAW INTALIGIENeE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, MAY 22.
BLAKEMORE V. GLAMORGANSHIRE CANAL COMPANY.
The LORD CHANCELLOR postponed the further
hearing of this case (a part of which was given in
1, our Paper of yesterday) to Tuesday next.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, MAY 22.
BAD ECONOMY..--C LEMEDTTS v. STE WA RT.
This was an action to recover a demand of 21. Ss.
for work and labour and materials found. The de-
fendant pleaded a tender of 1/. 16s. and denied her
liability to pay more. The defendant, a lady of for.
tune, and the widow of an officer distinguished in
his Majesty's service, employed the plaintiff, a brick-
layer, to set three stoves and a kitchen range in her
house, No. 32, Nutford-place. When the bill was
brought in, she considered the charge excessive, and
offered I/. 16s. as the full value of the work. The
plaintiff refused to take that sum, and brought an
action. The tender was paid into Court.

Several witnesses proved that the charge was mo.
Berate.

On the part of the defendant, Mr. Stewart, a brick-
layer and a builder, proved that the sum tendered
was ample payment for the work; but the Jury,
Under all the circumstances, found a verdict for the
plaintiff for 13s. 9d.
Sir JAMES SCARLETT observed, in opening the
plaintiff's case, that the law was defective in admit-
ting an action for so small a sum to occupy a supe-
rior Court.

well support the rates last quoted. There is .rather mere

CASE OF MR. O'REILLY.
A conversation of some duration, which was nearly ill
audible in the gallery, took place across the table between
Lord Asiit and Sir JAMES Macicu.‘rosit, relative to a
motion of the latter Gentleman " to refer to a Select Com-
mittee the petition from Mr. O'Reilly, complaining of loss
arising from the insolvency of Mr. Ricketts, Keeper of
the Registry Office at Madras, and from the negligence of
the Treasurer of that Government" We understood that
Lord ASHLEY requested the Hon. Member to post-
pone his present motion till certain documents, which had
recently come into the possession of the India Board, could
be submitted to his inspection.
Sir J. MACKINTOSH said, that though be sras
ready to argue the present case on the admissions of the
parties against whose conduct Mr. O'Reilly complained,
still he could not resist the suggestion of the Noble Lord to
read the documents to which his Lordship had referred,
before he made the motion of which he had given notice.
Reserving to himself a right to form his own opinion ort those documents, he would now say that he had no objectiov,
to substitute for the motion of which he had given notice.
a motion for the production of certain important papers
connected with Mr. O'Reilly's case, Ile would take
that opportunity of correcting an error into which he had
fallen when he made his former statement upon this
subject. He had stated that his Hoc, and Learned Friend,
Sir Thomas Strange, was one of the parties who had,
interfered in this case. He had since learned—thax
which, in point of fact, he knew before, but had ice:*
gotten at the time—that his Hon. and Learned Fzienal,
Sir T. Strange, had left India before the period of T:7„.:
Rickett's insolvency. His Hon. and Learned Friv.td was
not one of the two Judges who had concurred, in_ the eorn munication to the Government of Madras %oncerning the
appointment of Mr. Ricketts. It war, his Hon. and
Learned Friend, Sir John Newbold, Nebo had long been a
Member of that House, and whet was well remembered
and respected within it. He then moved for a series of
papers bearing upon this case.
Mr. FERGUSSON would not oppose the motion, but
contended at considerable length that there was no ground,
for' calling upon tlhrtieedEinasois)tylvletnhndeciya

Mr. PEEL said, that as the lion. and Learned :Member
for Knaresborough had abstained from all observations at
present on this ease, it was hardly fair in the lion. Gen-
tlenma❑ to enter into a discussion adverse to the claims of
the petitioner.

Mr. FERGUSSON explained.
After a few wurds from Mr. TRANT, explanatory of the
law in India relative to intestate's effects, the ntotion WAS
agreed to.

SAILING MATCH.

The annual Sailing Match between working Peter-boats,
for various sums of money, subscribed by the inhabitants
of Hammersmith, Chiswick, and Strand-on•the-Green,
took place yesterday, and the weather was in every respect
most favourable; the wind at starting N.N.E., but it af-
terwards varied a little. The whole money collected
amounted to SOL, which was divided into proportionate
prizes ; so that the owner even of the last boat should be
paid for the day's work he lost. The following Hi boats
started, and they came in in the order of the numbers
attached
1. George and William ... W. Malcolm
2. Countess Macartney
3. Providence
4. Henry W. White
5. Lord Duck
6. Good Friend H. Harris
7. George and Sarah W. Pearse
8. Mary Ann R. Brown
9. Richard and Sarah R. Pearse
10. Betsey T. Humphreys
11. Active
12. Betsey G. Pearce
13. Four Brothers
14. William and Mary W. Heywood
15. Industry
16. Ambrosine W. Wakeman
17. Good Intent G. Brown
18. Fair Eliza W. Sekina
The distance sailed was from Hammersmith-bridge round
a boat moored below Kew-bridge, and back to the place
of starting. The boats were allowed to sail with any can-
vas they could procure, and gentlemen in the neightoonr-
hood, who kad boats, were glad to lend their sails en such
an occasion. The general sobriety and good conduct of
the fishermen between Putney and Kew well merit this
epecieu of encouragement. The river was covered with
boats, and the shores lined with spectators.

pELHAM, or, the ADVENTURES of a
GENTLEMAN. _ .

" If the most brilliant wit—a narrative whose interest
never flags, and sonic pictures of the most rivetting interest,
can make a work popular, Pelham will he as first-rate in
celebrity as it is in excellence. The scenes are laid at the
present day and in fashionable life."—Literary Gazette. •

lief in the brighter parts of character ; these are
points to be understood and felt only by the few,
and any attempt to uproot them, or at least to tame
them down to the square and rule of a common-
place conventional morality, is a deed little short
of downright barbarism. There are some folks
whose notions on the score of propriety are so
exquisitely. and uneasily sensitive, that they are
sure to construe every joke—no matter how
harmless, provided it can raise a doubt—into a
studied attack upon their morals, as Goldsmith's
Croker detected Arson in a love-letter. This is
the vulgarity, the plebeianism of intellect, and is
much of a piece with the notions of that class of
people who, elevated in society above their fitting
rank, and proportionably jealous of their claims,
are apt to fancy every smile that passes round the
room as au indirect sarcasm on their pretensions.
We do not mean to say that the Editor of the
present volume is in this predicament ; but really
it does not look much unlike it, when we find him
every where sedulously lopping off the wit of
I)on Juan, least peradventure incontinence or
Atheism might lie couched beneath it. When
we find him, for instance, in such lines as—
Her eye, I'm very fiord of handsome eyes,
'Was large and dark E upp re ss ing half its fire
Until she spoke,
leaving out the sentence marked in Italics, from
a dull praise-worthy abhorrence of its utter
laxity, we cannot help fancying in our looser
notions of the becoming, that he has shown,
like the Rev. Mr. Cunningham (to whom the
work should be dedicated) a little ultra-morality.
Again in the lines

Like to a lake whose waves ha circles spread,
Or the ►ed sea—but the sea is not red,
our fastidious moralist has omitted the sceptical
passage, resolved doubtless, that as the Archbishop
of Tuam's favourite authority, Moses, asserted
long ago that this particular sea was red—red it
shall be to all eternity. We have selected these
two passages from among a multitude of others,
merely by way of showing the conventional spirit
in which the book has been got up, It is in-
tended, we presume, for the rising generation
of either sex, as a sort of " Tutor's Assistant"
to help
.young ladies and gentlemen to a relish
for what is orderly and decent in sentiment and
poetry. In this light it may suit very well ; but
it is no more Byron's Don Juan than t;ie " Fa-
mily Shakspeare," with the raciest parts of Fal-
staff omitted, is the Shakspeare whom we have
been so long in the habit of admiring.

LAW INTELLIGENCt-(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.
COMMITMENT.
BURCHETT V. WOOLWARD.
The LORD CHANCELLOR, was occupied the whole
of the morning in his private room 'hearing an appli-
cation Jr' this cage, to commit certain persons for
conspiring together to effect the marriage of a ward.
Until we left the Court, no further particulars were
publicly disclosed.

TICE CHANCELLOR'S COURT.
G fiRDINER V. BRYANT AND STEWART.

This was an application for an injunction to restrain
the defendant, Bryant, a bankrupt, from proceeding
with an action at law against the plaintiff, for the
recovery of ten years' rent, amounting in all to about
SOL _ _

Mr. Carlo, in support of the motion stated, that
Gardiner took the premises of which the rent was
now due from Bryant. Soon after this, defendant
became a bankrupt, and Stewart was appointed his
sole assignee. The bankrupt was now disputing the
validity of the Commissio-- ; pending that dispute
Bryant brought an action against the plaintiff for the
rent, and unless the Court interposed, the trial
would come on at the rext Guildford Assizes.

The plaintiff was thus placed between two fires,
for as the commission of bankruptcy was still in
existence, the assignees might also sue him for the
rent. Under these circumstances the tenant applied
for the injunction, and prayed that he might be at
liberty to pay the money into Court.
Mr. Ross and Mr. MARTIN opposed the motion,
on the part of Bryant.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR said, that as no adverse
claim for the rent was made by the assignee, the
tenant could not come to this Court for an in-
junction, to restrain the landlord from proceeding to
recover it.
The application Was dismissed with costs.

LONDON,
SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 24, 1828.

The metropolis still continues engrossed with
the rumoured changes in the Ministry, and even
the Derby and Oaks are almost forgotten. For
our own parts, we are very little concerned
about the final issue of the contest between
liberal and illiberal principles, being satisfied
how it must terminate ; but at the present crisis
of foreign affairs, we should sincerely deplore
a recurrence of that anarchy, of which we have
surely had sufficient experience during the last
twelvemonths.

We are decidedly attached to the liberal party ;
but we should be sorry indeed to see them sepa-
rate from the Noble Duke at the head of the
Government, who, by his splendid fame, his high
honour, his conciliatory and manly character,
is a tower of strength--if united with the intel-
ligence and wisdom of the day.
Up to the hour of going to press nothing
positive has transpired—but strong hopes are
entertained that these unhappy misunderstandings
win kertninate in a general reconciliation.

LITERATURE.

A TALE OF ARABIA, AND OTHER POEMS.

LONnoN.-18?5.

We have been pleased with this unassuming little
volume : it is from the pen, we understand, of a very
young lady, and displays a promise which, we doubt
not, with care, and an attentive perusal of the best
models among our English Poets, will soon ripen into
excellence. The first poem in the collection, and
the longest, is the least to our taste ; but, among the
miscellanies, may be found some very sweet and de-
licate blossoms, the produce of an intelligent, and,
what is better still, a well-difciplined mind. We have
no space for ex tract-, ; but may venture to recommend
our fair author' Stanzas on Byron : they are just the
lines that stould proceed from the pen of a lady—
plaintive„ elegant, and insinuating a proper re-
gret for the follies of the it lamented subject.

LAW OF EVIDENCE BILL.

. The Law Of Evidence Bill was read a third time, and
passed.
OFFENCES AGAINST THE PERSON BILL.

The House, on the motion of Mr. PEEL, resolved it.
self into a Committee upon the Offences against the Per.
son Bill.

Mr. HYDE 'VILLIERS thought the law, as now pro-
posed, left no middle point between severe punishment and
entire escape ; and he therefore wished to introduce a
clause that would leave the same discretion in the Judges
in cases of cutting and maiming, where the offence did not
amount to murder, as they new possessed in common
cases of manslaughter.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL opposed the clause, on
the ground that it would convert every case of common as-
sault, while the parties were infuriated, into a prosecution
for felony.
Mr. PEEL pointed out the difficulty that would arise
from the finding of the Jury. Under Lord Ellenburough's
Act, the Jury must find an intent to kill ; but in this case
the party might be indicted under the proposed clause,
where there was no such intent, and where it could not be
stated that there was even any previous malice on the part
of the assailant.
After a few words from Mr. VILLIERS, he consented
to withdraw his clause.

Mr. PEEL proposed a clause limiting the summary
power of Magistrates, in order that they might not inter-
fere in cases of assault arising out of disputes regarding
property ; and after a remark from the ATTORNEY-
GENERAL and Mr. G. LAMB it was introduced.
Mr. CARTER objected to giving Magistrates a power
of deciding upon assaults ex-parte. As the Bill stood at
present, if it were proved that a summons had been left at
the house of the party accused, the Magistrates might pro-
ceed to conviction. He wished that they should only be
allowed to decide when the offender was before them, and
capable of making his defence either in person or by his ad-
visers.
Mr. PEEL admitted that the suggestion deserved atten-
tion, and promised to consider it before the third reading.
He also made a few observations upon a clause proposed on
a former evening by Mr. Martin, inflicting severer penal-
ties upon persons guilty of cruelty and ill usage to chil-
dren under a certain age, objecting to it that it would not
touch many cases of an aggravated kind, and that it would
be attended with many practical difficulties.
Mr. MARTIN withdrew his Clause.
The House having resumed, the report was brought up
and ordered to be received on Friday next.

tV HIS MAJESTY'S LET"..-g
PATENT.
THE ROYAL FILTER -ffOR CISTERNS.
' •
IN submitting the -Above invaluable Discovery
to the attentior, ®f the Public,
incumbent on t the Proprietors feel it
/-...em to enumerate a few of its leading
characteristio- The prevailing opinion of the impurity,
and conser.inent insalubrity of the Water supplied to the
Inhabi*.ants of this City, is so well founded, and so amply
borne out by the numerous Testimonials of the most
Fitnirient of the Metropolitan Faculty, and by the recent
communications made by the Commissioners appointed
by Parliament, that any comment in this place would
appear like questioning the national common sense. This
mode of Filtration not only clarifies, but purifies, the
most turbid, fetid, stagnant water, rendering it of a
crystalline brilliancy, and at the same time most effectually
destroying both SMELL and TASTE. Its adaptation to
Cisterns enhances its valuable qualities, by obviating the
trouble of repeatedly charging it as heretofore, and
ensures an effeztual preventive against the possibility of
employing uny other Water than that which has passed the
Filter, either for Culinary operations, or in fact for any
domestic purposes. The rapidity of the process of Filtra.-
Con, stands conspicuous amongst its advantages. The
P!-oprietors do not (as hitherto has been usual in advertising
Filters) state the precise numberof Gallons capahlezdf being
produced ; but are enabled confidently to assert that so fast
an the Water is supplied at the top of the Filter, so fast
will it discharge itself from the bottom in a highly purified
state.—lts moderate Price, (from Three Guineas upwards,
but rarely exceeding Six, in proportion to the dimensions
of Cisterns) by rendering it attainable to all Housekeepers,
eonfera a real blessing on Society, by at once removing the
cause of a multitude of Diseases, which are justly attri-
butable to the noxious particles contained in the Water.
The Prospectus may be had, and Filters, in full opera-
tion, may be inspected, at the Office of the Patentees,
George Robins and others, No. 69, Strand, opposite the
Adelphi Theatre, where Orders are requested to he
addressed.

was, we Alan not say honestly contracted, but con-1
tracted by•a•Man who had a reasonable prospect of
paying it, and for a necessary purpose; arid where
they do find that it has not been so contracted, we
thiiik the creditor ought, at least, to have his alter-
native of taking the petson or the goods. As to
debts below 205., we confess we should like to see
them placed, in respect of civilians, as they are in
respect of soldiers. No soldier is liable for above a
day's pay, and no labouring man ought. To allow
the latter to run into debt at all is only generating
in them a most mischievous habit, and the parties
with Whom they deal are iiat supposed to be pos-
sessed of capital suilicient to warrant them in in-
curring the risk of such credits. There are many
regulations in Scotland in respect of debts, which it
would be a great advantage for England to possess.
Their mode of recovering bill debts is peculiarly
adapted to a commercial public such as London. A
bill in that country requires only to he protested,
and judgment may be obtained on It in forty-eight
hours, and it distress may be levied in six days from
the time of obtaining judgment. We much wish
that Mr. Peel, if he could find leisure during the
prorogation of Parliament, would devise some plan
for facilitating the recovery of bill debts. This is a
subject of very great importance, and one that well
deserves all the consideration which the Right 11011.
Secretary can give to it. There is no man in Eng-
land better qualified to consider it wisely and remedy
it safely than he is.—New Times.
