Southwood Smith, Dr. Liston, Dr. Hurvey, and others
of the principal medical practitioners in London, to the

titioners stated that houses were thus badly constructed

Mr. HOGG presented a petition from certain East India

NOTICES OF MOTION.—COLONIAL ACCOUNTS.

Dr. BOWRING gave notice that to-morrow he would move

WINDOW-TAX.

Lord DUNCAN gave notice of his intention, on a future
day, to bring forward the following motion :—" That the taxes
levied on windows were a great burden en the country—unjust
and unequal in their operation, most oppressive on those who
had to bear them, and ought therefore to be immediately
repealed." While he was on his legs he would take the oppor-
tunity of answering the question put to him the other evening
by the Right Hon. Baronet at the head of her Majesty's
Government, who, he regretted to see, was not in his
place. It appeared to be the general opinion that they
should go on with the adjourned debate to-morrow evening,
and, as he understood all other Honourable Gentlemen
who had notices on the paper for that night agreed to
postpone them, it would be most injudicious in him if
he persisted in pressing his motion. He, therefore,
begged leave to give notice that he would bring on his motion
on the subject of the window-tax on Monday evening, on the
question being put that the Speaker leave the Chair to go
into a Committee of Supply.—( Hear, hear. )
Sir WILLIAM CLAY moved that the petition of George
Smith, distiller, and James Scott Smith, rectifier, presented

who are apprehensive of entering the marriage state, cannot fail to
recommend to it a careful perusal."—Era.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Feb. 'l9.

(Sittings at Nisi Priu;at Guildhall before Lord DENMAN and
a Common Jury.)
SMYTH V. SMITH.

This was an action for false imprisonment brought under the
following circumstances :—The plaintiff and defendant entered
into partnership in August, 1843, for the purpose of printing
publications of various kinds, but a disagreement shortly oc-
curred between them. They had a quantity of type, which
was at the defendant's office, in Mincing-lane. On the 13th
of August the plaintiff went with a person named Griffin,
and others, to the defendant's, and having broken open
an inner door, they were taking away the type,
when the defendant perceived them, and gave Griffin in
charge of a policeman. The plaintiff said, " Who is to take
me?" whereupon he also was given in charge. They were
conveyed to the station-house, and were afterwards taken to
the Mansion-house. They were charged with felony, but
there were no grounds for such an accusation. The defend-
ant now brought his action.
Lord DENMAN, in charging the jury, said that there was
no doubt the plaintiff acted wrong in breaking through the
defendant's door; but that did not justify the defendant in
preferring a charge of felony against him. The plaintiff was
entitled to their verdict, but to what amount it was entirely
for the jury to say.
The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff.—Damages one
farthing.

nership disputes.
Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 301.

condition of the working classes. They blame us for not sur-
rendering &portion of our principles in order to obtain a more
speedy relief for the sufferings of the masses. I do not pro-
fess to be more patriotic than other persons, the principle of
justice may not be more deeply implanted in me, but I will
answer for myself and my friends that we shall adhere to
the principles with which we have started until we bring
them to a triumphant end. It had been stated in the House
of Commons that since the passing of the Corn-law Bill in
1815, no less than 200,000,0001. had been taken from per-
sons to support the poor-rates, and this independently
of sums distributed by charitable institutions and by pristte
benevolence. It has been said that in one-tenth part of England
and Wales—the richest portion of the empire—there are no
less than a million and a half of persons depending for subsist-
ence on parochial relief. Look at that mass of misery, and ask
what charity—what beneficence can do—to alleviate it. It
will not touch the edges—it will not affect the fringes
of that enormous evil. Private charity cannot
prevent its rapid increase; but the Anti Corn-law League
provides a greater remedy than that. We have a charitable
plan—not indeed designed by us—for it is a plan involving the
principles that were laid down by the Great Creator of the uni-
verse. This plan is self work—we do not look to patronage—
we ask no string of names distinguished in the world. We have no
committee with books of subscriptions lying on the counters
of West-end bankers, we have no charity that will comprise
machinery of the most cumbrous kind. Our principle per-
vades all classes of the community—wherever misery is there we
endeavour to bring relief—( Hear, hear)—whether
in the garret or in the cellar—we endeavour to illu-
minate the darkness of despair by the propagation of this
great principle which rests alike on the sanction of the law
and the authority of the Revelations. The Hon. Gentleman sat
down amidst great applause.
The Quitman then came forward and announced, amid
loud cries for Mr. Cobden, that the proceedings of the even-
ing were over, and that the next meeting would be duly ad-
vertised.

Mr. COBDEN then came forward, and demanded thee cheers
for the Anti-Corn-law League. His request was enthusiasti••

A NAN KILLED ON WATERLOO-BRlDGB.—Yester-
day foreneon as a loaded waggon belonging to Messrs. Mumford,
corn-merchants, was proceeding from the Surrey to the Middlesex
side of Waterloo-bridge, a man in attendance on it very foolishly
rested himself on the shaft, and from some cause unknown he fell
into the road. A cry was raised to stop the horses, but before that
could be accomplished, the fore-wheel had passed over both the poor
fellow's thighs. He was soon raised from the ground by some per-
sons passing ; but, after uttering two or three groans, he expired.
FATAL COLLIERY ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday morn-
ing, William Ilannaby, a lad about eleven years of age employed at

its being lowered into the mine, when he pushed it too far, and un-
fortunately fell with the carte down the shaft, which Is 90 yards in
depth. The poor little felldw was instantaneously killed, his body
being fiery'much mutilated.— Woltywolampko Chronicle.

DECLARATION OF THE GUARDIANS GF BRENT, DEVON.
HAL SE'S SCORBUTIC DROPS.
A SURE CURE FOR BAD LEGS.
The following case has excited so much interest, that the Guardians
of the parish of Brent, Devon, have considered it their duty to sign
their names to the accompanying important declaration :
We, the undersigned, solemnly declare that before Thomas Holing,
one of our parishioners, commenced taking " Halse's Scorbutic
Drops" he was literally covered with large running wounds (some
of them so large that a person might have laid his fist in them) ; that
before he had finished the first bottle he noticed an improvement,
and that by continuing them for some time, he got completely
restored to health, after everything else had failed. He had tried
various sorts of medicines bed re taking " Halse's Scorbutic Drops,"
and had prescriptions from the most celebrated physicians in this
country, without deriving the least benefit. " Halse's Scorbutic
Drops," have so completely cured him, and he is now enabled to attend
to his labour as well as any man in our parish. From other cures
ah o made in this part, we strongly recommend "Raise's Scorbutic
Drops" to the notice of the public.
Signed by John Elliott, sen., Lord of the Manor, John Manning,
William Pearce, Henry Goodman, Arthur Langworthy.

June 21, 1843.
Tne above-mentioned Thomas Boling was quite incapable of doing
any kind of work whatever before he commenced taking those Drops.
Some of his wounds were so large that it was most awful to look at
them, and the itching and pain of the wounds generally were most
dreadful; indeed, the poor fellow could be heard screeching by
passers by, both day and night, for sleep was entirely out of the ques-
tion. He was reduced to mere skin and bone, and daily continued to
get weaker, so that there was every probability of his speedy death.
Bead the following extract from the " Nottingham Review" :
" IMPURITY OF THE BLOOD THE CAUSE OF SCURVY,
BAD LEGS, &c. _

" It is really astonishing that so many persons should be content
to be afflicted with scurvy wounds in the legs, &c., when it is a well-
ascertained fact that ' Ilalse's Scorbutic Drops' make the disease
vanish like snow before the sun. No one is better enabled to judge of
the value of a medicine as to its effects on the bulk of the people
than a vendor of the article ; and as vendors of this medicine we can
conscientiously recommend it to our friends, for there is scarcely a
day passes but we hear some extraordinary accounts of it ; indeed,
we have known parties who have tried other advertised medicines
without the least success, and yet on resorting to this preparation,
the now justly-celebrated ' Halse's Scorbutic Drops,' the disease has
yielded as if by magic. We again say, Try Halse's Scorbutic Drops.' "

RAILWAY COMMITTEES.

The Sub-Committee appointed to ascertain if the
promoters of the Wakefield, Pontefract, and Goole Rail-
way had complied with the standing orders of the
Howse of Commons, re-assembled yesterday at 2 o'clock,
..ind proceeded with the investigation. After sitting for
ab,mt an hour the Committee concluded their labours wit h

:snowing about 16 out of 98 trivial objections which had
been urged against the project by Mr. Platt, the Parlia-
mentan agent, on behalf of Mr. G. I. Smyth, of Heath
Hall, Wakefield, who had entered a protest against the
scheme, declaring it to be unnecessary and uncalled for.
The Chairman, Sir John Yarde Buller, intimated to the
agent of the promoters that it was the intention of the
Comtnitteo to report specially on the line, and there was
no doubt the objections would be overcome on being re-
ferred to a Select Committee on Standing Orders.

THE GRAND HEAT.

Thousands of anxious spectators were by this time assembled, and
were anxiously awaiting the struggle that should determine the
championship. The Clespers were in downright request, although
it was hinted that Newell's party had let them go by, as the posses-
sion of the first place was unimportant in the trial heat. The great
struggle was not only of much interest as regarded these two boats,
but of a corresponding one with respect to the merits of the picked
London crews themselves, which had afforded much speculation and
about which there was a great diversity of opinion.
They at last moved to the station, and were in a short space of
time off like lightning. It was remarked by men of long standing in
aquatic matters, that they never saw such speed in four-oared Voats.
They not only started at the same instant, but after several rapid
and desperate pulls they were oar and oar. As they neared the com-
mittee boat, Coombes' crew began to show in advance, and facing
the head of the committee boat, were rowing with all their might,
the Claspers and the Pocock crew being oar and oar, with their
heads level with Coombes' midships. At this moment it was ob-
vious to those in the committee craft that something was wrong, as
Mr. Bishop; the umpire for that race, was not accompanying the men,

but stearin:, let; cutte •to come on board. On icing so he stated that
r the crews, .in I is having inquired whether they were ready, went on'
Of their ow.l Lecord, without being started Oy him. He had fre-
quently caller to them to inform them that it was no race, but his
Intimation wia altogether unheeded. It may be as well here to
finish the clenom it of the racing at once, and again return to the other
part of tits sc'ijuot. The Coombes' party became in every succeed-
ing stroke ram' a closely pressed by the Newcastle men, who never
appeared throng:tout to relax their exertions in the slightest degree,
mid haying coma oar and oar with them at about the Crab-tree, a
desperate malt ws s made by the Coombes's forthe lead; but as they
approached Ifzoita
ersmith-bridge, the Claspera were drawing gra-
dually away, tuul -ultimately succeeded in clearing their boat's length.
Coombes' crew Dv, le a finishing and -" plucky" spurt, but were un-
able to regain the en viable position they had one held, and the Clas-
pers came in first at Vie winning post by one length and a half. Po-
lengths astern or the second boat.

also claimed an increase of wages. This shows the great
demand for labour at the present time in France. The Go-
vernment, in order to counteract the evil caused by the sus-
pension of public works, had given permission to all the car-
penters serving as soldiers in the garrisons at Paris to work
at their trades, and every precaution had been taken against
any disturbance, but the men engaged in the " strike" con-
ducted themselves with great good order, and were resolved
to avoid any steps which might bring them under the opera-
tion of the combination laws.
