WEDN/SDAY-...SIXTH DAY.
The polling this morning went on as briskly as usual, and with-
out the slightest disturbance.
At five o'clock the Under Alma appeared on the hustinge, and
announced the state of the poll as follows:-
- Lord Lowther - -241 i -
Colonel Lowther -22 ti
Mr. Brougham - - - 214

Total 1,384
- - 1,327
1,143

Majority for-Colonel Lowther over Mr. Brougham— 184.
Lord LOWTIIIR then addressed the elector', which the state of
the poll, he said, entitled him to do, beflue the other candidates.
Indeed, his situation not only on the poll, but on the gross poll
also, entitled him to that precedence which he sincerely hoped
their support would enable him to preserve to the. conclusion of
the contest.—(Cheers. )_l-le was not flushed by his success, not-
withstanding the great rush his opponent had threatened them
with upon that day, and his failure of heading the poll, as he had
11 expected.—(Cheers.)—" should trespass no farther on their
patience ; but he wished them a good evening, and expressed a
hope that he should see them again to-morrow.—(Cheers.)
Colonel Lowntea then addressed the freeholders, but the cla-
mour was so incessant that it was for some time impossible to
hear a word that he uttered, Notwithstanding, he said, when we
did hear him, all that had been said at to their strength being ex-
hausted while their opponents were coming with fresh vigour to
the P°ll-'-ootwithettriding all this, they were still at the head of
the PidL-".(Cheers.>•--He would then take his leave, confident
,thetthat they.would continue to him their support as they had hitherto
done, and keep hint .in the Proud situation which he, then occupied
on the poll.—(Chears, end ;narks of disapprobation.)
Mr. Damien-Ikm now preikented himself, and was received with
enthusiastic cheers. Ile neeedingly differed he raid, with the
Gallant Colonel in the opinion which he had jot expressed, as he
had the msfortune to do in moat others that he had entertained.
wits extremely sorry, as a friend to the trade and
inennfacturers of the country in all the brinehes,--and it grieved
him to inform them that a considerable blow had been recently
struck at a branch of manufacture.which had hitherto been most
tiouraing....such A blow is it would be very difflcult for it to rec°-

ver—he meant the manufacture of mushrooms--(Great cheering
and laughter)—it was a painful thing to bear in times like the
present, when all branches almost of trade were labouring under
great distress, when so many deserving people engaged in the
manufactures of the county were deeply involved, that instead of
matters getting better, the general distress should have, extended
itself to another branch of trade which had before been thriving.
—(A laugh.)---He wished well to all branches of manufac.
hire of an honest description, as doubtless he ought to do ;
but if the trade which he had just mentioned was of that des-
cription, he should have heard of its destruction with a mttch
heavier heart than he did at that moment. But how was ifpos-
sible to find words to express the feelings with which, not him-
self, but some persons at no great distance from him, would hear of
the total bankruptcy, the absolute failure of that trade—a failure
so complete, that he had been informed. that the dealers must shut
up shop, the manufacture being utterly destroyed.-4 Great
laughter.)—They could, have no more ketchup for the ensuing six
months.—(Great laughter.)—He wished that this matter had been
discovered forty-eight hews sooner, fur the fact was, that a flaw
had been found in the titles by which these mushrooms voted.
There were therefore no more- mushrooms to be grown, or at all
events no more could be brought to the poll, for if they were,
they could only be subjected to the eeremeny of going round to the
Assessor's booth, where they would be immediately rejected.—
(Cheers.)—He was, however sorry to tell them, that before it was
discovered, forty or fifty of such votes had been placed upon the
poll.—(Cries of " Bolton and Sill's 'votes.")-.-He entertained
great hopes, however, that the Blnes would not render it neces-
sary for him to go elsewhere to have the matter set right, but
enable him to carry through the election successfully, without
having to apply to the House of Commons to have these mush-
rooms removed from the poll.--(Cheers.)—He should then take
his leave of them. He would not thank them for their exertions,
for they were fighting their own cause jointly with him ; but be
would congratulate them in having made such exertions hitherto,
and he gave them joy of their unabated seal and perseverance, for
without perseverance to temper and sustain their zeal, it would be
as nothing—but with perseverance, it must lead to success.—
(Cheers.)
Mr. WYBURCIII then came forward and said, he was sorry to
observe, that in the very excellent speech which they had just
heard from his friend, Henry Brougham, there had been omitted
one observation which the speech of the'Noble Lord called forth.
The Noble Lord (Lowther) had protested against the' introduc-
tion of the Pope into England, and declared that he would not
suffer him to ride rough-shod through this county. He agreed
With the Noble Lord, that the old wowan.called the Pope, ought
not to be allowed to ride rough-shod through the county: but
there was another person who ought not to he permitted to ride
rough-shod through that county, and that was the Lord
Lieute-
nant.---(Cheers. )
The Meeting then quietly dispersed.
TIIURSDAT MORNING.

The polling is going on briskly.' Every thing is very quiet— i
there is no longer any mention of calling in the military, and it is
only due to Lord Lowther to state, that he was opposed to the
introduction of the military at all: The bands are parading the
streets, and every thing wears a busy aspect. Mr. Brougham's
speech of last night has created a great sensation amongst the
Blues, and they now begin to entertain pretty confident hopes of
success. It is now impossible to state when the poll will dotal,
certainly not before Saturday evening.

BEITISII PRESS OFFICE, EIGHT o'CLocx.
We stop the Press to announce the following important intelli-
gence from Westmoreland, received by express:—
REPORTED RESIGNATION OF MR. BROUGHAM.
It is stated that notwithstanding the decision of the assessors
against the " mushroom votes," many were, polled during Thurs-
day, the legality of which was questioned by Mr. Brougham.--.
In consequence of that day's proceedings, it is reported that Mr.
Brougham declined continuing the contest, and announced his
intention of petitioning Parliament against the election. This re-
sult, so unexpected after what occurred on Wednesday, is rendered
more than probable by the state of the poll on its close on
Thursday evening; when Mr. Brougham was left 804 ! below
Col. Lowther. The numbers were as follow

An arrival:6lml Colombia yesterday Oa the hontl-holders on
the alert to ascertain what preepeet exiotail of a remittance for the
dividends, hut at the date of the advice* from Bogota, which are
to the 13th of April, no intelligence had been received of the
fAilure of the agent, and the Government consequently was not
aware of the efforts it would speedily be called upon to make...-.
It appears, however, that an individual in Bogota, deputed by the
agents, had been instructed to press the Government very strongly
to complete the requisite arrangements for the payment of the
dividends, but after repeated applications he could only succeed in
obtaining the , following ,official, 'but vague and unsatisfactory,
reply from the Secretary of State for the Finance Department

BOGOTA, Aran, b, 18e6.

The Government, not neglecting to avail itself of all the means
in its power to fulfil the engagements entered into with the house
of Messrs. B. A. Goldsohinidt and Cu., of London, which firm
you represent, one of its first cares has been to•send (tnandor) the
fluids for the payment of the interest on the loan of 4,740,000/.,
four months before the'term stipulated, in Conformity with its
engagement. Fur this purpose the Government has transmitted
instructions to the Minister of the Republic residing in London,
and I can assure you, Sir, that relying on his fulfillment of them,
I doubt not that they, will be punctually paid, as well in the first
period which is approaching, as in those which succeed it ; since
even the delay has been foreseen which may have taken place in
the payment of the bills drawn, and negotiated for this purpose in
Peru. Further, this subject has occupied the consideration of the
Legislative Body, whose dispositions, united with the interest
taken in it by the Government, are an assurance of the credit of
the Republic ; and you, Sir, may feel confidently assured, that
the first, difficulties being overcome, the future payment of the
dividends will be regulated in a fixed and permanent manner,
!east hesitation or delay. This I am
v'chlatirigoeuttl by the

of the *7th ult.

J. M. del CASTILLO.

It is evident from this letter that the Colombian Finance Mi-
nister has fallen into the error of supposing that the Minister here
had funds at his command, and that the Peruvian Deputies who
came to England for that purpose, had been able to raise moue)
for the discharge Of the debt owed by Peru to Colombia. This
expectation, in both instances, is now well known to be quite un-
founded. There seems little doubt, therefore, that the .dividend
which is due on' the 15th inst. txmnot be paid, and unites the
Colombian Government has a large reserve fund in Bogota, a loag
period must elapse before the requisite means can be provided.
We learn by the letters from Carthagena, that an intention
existed on the part of the Government to appropriate one-half of
the Custom-house duties received there and at La Guayra, to the
payment of the interest on the foreign debt ; but it ought to he
stated, however painful to the interested, that there was not much
prospect of large receipts crippled situation into which trade
had fallen. The character of the Government, if we May judge
from its public acts, 'stands too high not to ensure the most
strenuous exertions for the establishment of its credit; but the
resources of the country are too limited, and its state too unsettled,
not to make an appeal to the people for great sacrifices a subject
of serious appreitentiou.

The following is given in the Morning• Papers as
the extract of a. private letter, dated Brussels, 27th

June:--

" The talked.of change in the Ministry of Finance is not yet
decided, and, doubts are now entertaimsi about its taking place at
all. The COurt is at present at ibe tattle of Imo, in Gehlerlatul,
where one of the brothers of her Majesty the Queen, and of his
Prusian Majesty, Arrived last Friday. The Crown Prince of

Prussia is likewise expected there with his spouse. The Aus-
trian Observer of the lath June states, that the conference. be-
tween the Russian and Turkish Couunissaries, on the boundaries
of both Empires, were to be opened on the 18th July. The
positive news of the departure of Lord Cochrane for Greece, has
produced considerable sensation here. None believe in the atthen-
ticity of the letter ascribed to this Naval Commander k they say
he could not write such nonsense; the remarks of The Courier
on this subject are considered perfetly just. It is rumoured that
one of the ships which are to join Lord Cochrane, on his route,
was fitted out at Antwerp. The Committee of Philhellene., at
Liege, have purchased for the Greeks 500 -stand of fire-arms,
which have been already sent off, probably on board this vessel.
The latest news from Batavia is not quite 40 favourable as the
former was. The rebels continue their mode of warfare in
guerillas, and the advantages obtained over them are trifling, and
without any decided result. Nothing official has transpired as to
the account given by Al. Van der Capellen to the King, concern-
ing the state of affairs at Java. The powers conferred on the
new Commissary-General are very extensive, be being authorised
to act as the King himself would, were be on the spot."

The Jamaica mail, which arrived yesterday morning,
brought advices from Lima down to the sth of March,
by which it appears that his Majesty's ship Briton kit -

General RoDIL on board. She was to touch at Val-

,The.

the Blanche frigate was daily expected from Chili.
Great rejoicings had taken place, on the fall of Callao
and Chiloe, the latter being the
-last hold of the,Spa-
niards round Cape Horn. BOLIVAR arrived in Lima,
the beginning of February, and he was still residing in,
the neighbourhood ; but report stated, that immediately
after the Congress, which was shortly to assemble, "it
was his intention to return to Columbia. The first
question expected to come under the discussion of the
Congress, was the commerce of the country. Mr.
Ricketts, the British Consul, had entered upon his
official functions, and great hopes were entertained,
that, through his influence, some alteration might take
place in their present high duties. The port of Callao
was again open for business, and several vessels had
already discharged there.

A letter from Carthagena, dated April 18th, states
that a French frigate has -arrived at that port from
Brest, bringing Commissioners from France for the
Panama Congress. An extract published in the Mer-
cantile Advertiser, says it is reported that they are
also authorised to negociate a treaty with Colombia,
and that it is believed that Spain is much more favour-
ably disposed towards South America than heretofore.
PIRA CRUZ, APRIL 18.

On Sunday, the 16th instant, arrived in this port the French

up and boarded. The pirates plundered the ship of
part of her cargo, consisting of plantation stores, beef,
pork, &c., and carried oil' the whole of Captain
CLARKE'S clothes. She was a large top-sail
schooner, painted black, and her crew appeared to be
a medley irony various countries.

The Martinique Gazette, of April 18, contains a
royal ordinance of the French Government, of Feb.

11, regulating the trade of the Islands of Guadeloupe
and Martinique with foreign countries. This ordi-
nance takes effect the Ist of July next. Its provisions
are such as will materially affect the trade between the
United States and those islands, and amounts to nearly
a prohibition of articles exported from this country.
The tariff provides that live stock from foreign coun-
tries shall pay a. duty of ten per cent. ad vakrem ;

We received,last night New Xork Papers to the
2d of June, from which we make the following ex-
tracts, representing that an insurrection had take"
place in Colombia:—
By the ship Charleston, from Curacoa, we have re-
ceived papers to the 6th May. The insurrection in
Colombia, the account of which we published a few

Consul at Laguira.
CURACOA, MAY 10.—Some very serious disturb'
ances took place lately in Valencia, which amount' to
the following:—

" Gen. Part, in consequence of some violent proceedings
against a few citizens of Caraccas, was impeached by the monis

Another Paperatateser-The account of a rebellion in Colombia,
which we published yesterday morning, is so_ brief and so general,
that it is impasiible to form any precise idea of its nature or ex-
tent. ' Indeed the intentions of the insurgents were not well un-
derstood. at Cauca, The .only conjecture we can make on the
subject is, that it has been excited by Gen. Paez, who has exercised
great power in that part of the country, and often in such a man-
ner as to give great dissatisfaction to the inhabitants. Two or
three years since, his arbitrary measures were, much complained
of, partfcularly by the merchants, as he was considered a man of
an overbearing flisposition, and fond of ruilitary power. In
. one
case he yescued, a man from civil. custody by force, and he appears
to have been watched with anxiety by the Government.
If his ambition is actually so restless and unprincipled as some
have imagined, it certainly is safer for the country that he now
cuts ,off his disguise, than that he should choose. an opportunity
when internal dissensions might endanger her independence. We
have, however, no apprehension that the effects of such a step as
has been taken can prove very important. The people cannot
and ground of discontent with the Government, and the influence
of the merchants must be
,strongly in favour of peace. The
friendly disposition of the French has also added great security to
the Government. The army have been threatened with a reduc-
tion, which, it is very likely, may have furnished ground for their
dissatisfaction ; and, if we mistake not, the General's Orders to pre-
sent himself at Bogota, were for an inquiry into his late conduct.

We have frequently adverted to the Diplomatic Cor-
respondence which has been passing between the .Aus-
trian •and Netherland Governments relative to the
navigation of the Rhine. The following., letter on
this subject is stated by the Mornin4. Chronicle to
come to them from a source which entitles 'it to the
utmost attention. . The writer contends, that the
Dutch Government 4:extremely willing to concede what
is reasonable ; but, expects, on the other hand, that if the
navigation to the sea should be free, as far as Holland
is concerned, it should not be interrupted by other
State's---that, for example, vessels should not be de-
tained at Menti or Cologne, any more than in the
Netherlands.

"TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING CHRONICLE.

Sta—ln one of your first numbers of the present month, you
briefly alluded to a diplomatic correspondence between the
Courts of Austria and Holland, on the subject of the Navigation
of the Rhine. Having since perus.d both the Notes, the Austrian
as well as the Dutch, as they appeared in the Journal de Frank-
fort, rcantiot but regret that a press of matter more immediately
interesting to the public, should prevent you from giving your
Readers a full and impartial view of the case as developed in those
important State Papers.
" In perusing these two documents, the student of international
law will not fail to observe two very different modes of viewing
the restoration of the Dutch independence in 1813, and of the
subsequent formation of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The
Austrian negotiator pretends to .see in those events nothing but
the effects of the supreMe will of the Allied Powers; while on
the contrary, the Dutch Minister of Foreign Affeirs attaches great
weight to other causes--such as the long-standing connexion
between his countrymen and the House of Orange, their opportune
insurrection against the French authorities after the battle of
Leipsi!, the regeneration, ex jure post linsini, of the rights of
sovereignty, which, in fact, had never become extinct, &c. One
would almost feel inclined to say that, in this instanee, the Court
of Vienna had shown lesi respect to the doctrine of legitimacy than
the King of the Netherlands, who has given proof that, of the
titles to the Government, he prizes most of all that derived from
the confidence and spontaneous choice of a free people.
",With regard to the original point in discussion, it would
seem that the finel settlement of it depends, for the most • part, at
present, on a question of form ; since the 'Netherland Govern-
ment does not absolutely refuse suppressing its prohibitions, and
fixing the, transit duties at a low rate, as far as the Rhine is con-
cerned but at the same time maintains that its consent to these
alterations ought to be met, •on the part of its opponents, by a
similar measure, for the relief of the trade and navigation of that
river it Mintz and Cologne; while, on the other hand, the Aus-
trian Note constantly represents this obligation on the part of the
.Netberlands, as pure and simple, and arising out of the strict let-
ter orthe Treaties of Paris and Vienna.

" In what the said prohibitions and transit duties, as now le-
vied by the Netherlands, consist, I cannot, at this moment ascer-
tain with sufficient-accuracy, for want of a Dutch tariff; but, in
the Note cif the Netllerhend Minister, it is confidently asserted that
the prohibitions do not materially affect any of the most extensive
and current articles of trade—and that, ever since 1822, the
transit duty has not exceeded one per cent, Surely, then, if this
be the case, there has been a great deal more exaggeration than
truth, in the expressions which some of your contemporaries have
been pleased to make use of to represent the spirit of old Dutch
monopoly as keeping
.watch at the mouth of that noble river, and
separating Germany from . the commerce of the world; whereas
the fact is, that the activity of the several branches of the Rhine
has•been. regularly on increase during the last years, which
circumstance, in my humble opinion, ought to be a sktfficient mo-
tive with all the parties interested for conducting the negotiation
to its final close with more temper and greater mutual forbearance
than I suspect has hitherto been the case.
" I have the honour to he, Sir, your obedient humble servant,

To the British Merchants at La Guaynt.

Jamaica Papers to the 15th May .have reached
town this morning, which confirm the accounts of the
insurrection in Colombia. The following are extracts;

Previous to the departure of the Maria, it was reported at La
Guayra that some disturbances had taken place among the military.
.The following is from a private letter, addressed to a respectable
gentleman:—

LAGUATRA, MAY 6.

We ate under considerable alarm, in consequence of accounts
received from Valencia, stating that Gen. Para had proclaimed
the independence of Venezuela free from the otherStatea, and that the
oath of allegiance had been taken by all the troops stationed there.
Two or three who were dissatisfied in Valencia bad been shot by
Pass ; but what effect this may have when Bolivar hears of it,
it is impossible to say, but I should think it will bring him this
way, when, if he comes and approves of Gen. Pao'e measures in
having Venezuela a distinct State, all may be well enough, but if
otherwise, a civil war must inevitably ensue.

The Galatea, frigate, arrived here the night before last, having
on board Alex. Cockburn, Esq., British Minister to Colombia.
Our Consul, Sir Robert Ker Porter, has requested Captain Sir
Charles Sullivan, to lay here until another British vessel of war
arrives for the protection of British property, in the eve* of any
serious disturbance. Ido no not apprehend any immediately, but
it is not unlikely that some kick-up may eventually take place.

NORTH AND SOUTH AMERICAN COFFEE-HOUSE.
LA GUAYRA, MAT s.—Valencia has declared itself under a
Federal Government. A Deputation has arrived in Caracas,
where the same sentiments are entertained, and we expect there-
fore a similar declaration from the Caraquiaian. The Ga-
latea, with Mr. Cockburn, came in yesterday a few hours
after the merchants here had requested protection of Sir Robert
Ker Porter, and recommended his ordering a vessel -of war from
Barbadoes. This he has complied with.
Private letters received this morning state, that although Gene-
ral Paez had not yet left Valencia, yet there was no doubt that the
people of the Caraccas would immediately join him.

The London Gazette, according to the notice which
has been given, that it would be printed on Friday
instead of Saturday, was published last night, and its
contents will be found in our columns. This arrange-
ment will be a great accommodation to our Country
Readers, who will, in consequence of it, get the infor-
mation contained in the Gazette, two days sooner
than heretofore. In alluding to this alteration of the
system of the London Gazette we cannot deny
ourselves the pleasure of stating, that the anxious de-
sire we have been animated with, to obtain the favour
of the public for our own Journal, since it came into our
hands, has been already rewarded far beyond what our
most sanguine hopes could have led us to expect.
The sale' of our Paper has greatly increased, and is
rapidly increasing every week ; and this circumstance
will act as a fresh stimulus to our unceasing endea-
vours to establish for this Journal the character and
reputation which we are desirous it should possess.

By accounts which have reached us this forenoon,
We have reason to believe that Mr. BROUGHAM has
declined continuing the contest for Westmoreland.
This determination is said to have been firmed in
consequence of man 7 of what are there termed
" Mushroom Votes,' having been polled during
Thursday ; and it is added that Mr. BROUGHAM had
signified his intention to petition Parliament against
the Election.
If Mr. BROUGHAM has resigned, it is not owing to
any particular class of votes, but to the total failure
of his expectations, with respect to the numbers polled
for him on Thursday. At the close of the poll on
that afternoon, the total numbers stood as follow :
Lord Lowther - - - -1,682
Col. Lowther - - 1,668
Mr. Brougham - - - 1,262

heavy fall, and may be quoted at 44, being a reduction of 6 per

LA.W INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY...4Tbm DAY.)

MARTINZZ v.,COOPER•
This was an appeal from an order made by his
Honour, the Vice-chancellor. The circumstances of
the case were of this nature. The plaintiff' was the
owner of certain houses in the neighbourhood .of Lon-
don, and owed to the defendant a sum of 1400/. Theid
plaintiff was about to: sell one of his houses, al
agreed with the defendant to pay him first out of the
~produce of the sale. Mr. Morphat was the plaintiff's
solicitor, emplOyed to sell the house ; Mr. Hodson,
the defendant's solicitor, went to Mr. M.:previous to
the sale, and told him that his.client was to be paid
out of the money to be received for the house,
and requested Mr.
.M. to let him know when the
sale and payment took place, which Mr. Morphat pro-
mised to do. The sale however was completed, and the
money paid. over, unknown to Mr. Hodson. The
plaintiff' subsequently filed his bill to destroy this al-
leged mortgage. :Mr. M., in an affidavit he Made, ad-
nutted that. Mr. H. had called upon :him, .but denied
that he was infortned there was any existing mortgage.
The Vice-Chancellor directed an issue to try whether
Mr. M. and Mr. H. had had the meeting alluded to,
and whether what Mr. H. stated to have passed then
was true. The Jury found in favour of the issue ; and
When the case came back to the Vice-Chancellor, his
Honour decided against the bill ; but, by a sort of
consent, made a decree to redeem the snort-
gage, thereby converting the bill into a bill
for the redemption' of the^ mortgage. An ap-
peal was brought, and upon the best considera-
tion his Lordship . could give to the case, he was
clearly of opinion that the mortgage was a good mort-
gage to attach on the premises. As to making a de-
cree to redeem, upon a bill of this nature, was quite
against principle, and could not be done. The Court
therefore dismissed the bill with costs.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, GUILDHALL--.(T u DAY.)
WARDLAW V. JONES.,
This was an action to recover from the defeudant,
who is Marshal of the King's Bench prison, the sum
of 74/. 10s., under the following circumstances:—
The plaintiff having obtained judgment against Mr.
Stanley, an attorney, for the above sum, had him ar-
rested, and confined in the King's Bench prison, on
the 9th of January last. On the 23d of February
following he was seen at large in Pancras-Zane, Cheap-
side, which is without the rules of the prison. It was
consequently held that the Marshal was liable for the
debt. 1
It having appeared in evidence that Mr. Stanley
had paid 20/. of the debt to the plaintiff; the Jury, by
the direction of the Chief Justice, gave a verdict for
the plaintiff—Damages .54/. 10s.

PARIS Y. HAY.
Mr. Scaittirr stated that this was an action brought to reco-
ver compensation in damages, for the injury which the plaintiff
sustained through the misconduct of the defendant.
The plaintiff was a poor man, who made hialivelihoocl by hawk-
ing blacklead pencils through the streets, whereby he cleared ROL
a week. The defendant was a wealthy tradesman, who happened
to be driving a horse and chaise, about Zi o'clock in the after-
noon, on the elst of November last, to Houndeditell, when be
came in contact with the plaintiff, who wag on the right
side of the road, and knocked him down 'in the mud, and
rode over him, whereby he was maimed, lost a part of his cheek,
was as yet deaf and lame, and had been confined for 18 weeks in
an hospital.
Mr. SCARLETT contended that the ibtintiff wjp entitled to com-
pensation, not only for the injury reserved, but also for the loss of
time.

Witnesses were then Trilled to prove the cue.
Mr. COMYN addressed the Jury for the defendant in mitigation
of damages, but offered no evidence.
The Loan CHtst, Jusncr said, that if any of the witnesses
were to be believed the Jury must give a verdict for the plain-
tiff; for they had 'alt sworn that the defendant had acknow-
!edged the accident to have arion from the negligence of his
servant, in not fixing a curb to his bridle.
Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 31/. 10..

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS—(Twis DAT.)
JAMES' V. GRAY.

This was an action to recover compensation in da-
mages for injuries sustained by the plaintiff being
thrown from his horse by the defendant's coach. The
plaintiff' is a respectable surgeon, residing in Croydon :
the defendant was the proprietor of the" Royal Patriot"
Brighton coach. The plaintiff had been thrown from
his horse, and by falling under the wheel of the coach
had his leg broken.
The plaintiff endeavoured to prove that the accident
was caused by the negligence of the driver, while the
defendant contended that it was caused by the shying
of the plaintiff's horse.
Th© Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff--
Damages 30/.
