ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

CLARK V. YONGE.
This cause, which relates to tithes, occupied the Court the
"entire day, and is likely to do so for several dabs. We shall give
brief sketch of it at the close of the hearing.

• BAIL COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN.)
GATES V. BENNETT.
This was an action to recover twenty-one guineas, the
price of a mare sold by the plaintiff, who keeps livery-
stables in New-road, Sloane-street, to the defendant, who
is a wine-merchata living in Rathbone-place. The de-
fendant pleaded that he made no promise.
Mr. JONES stated the case. The defendant
was introduced to the plaintiff at his stables
in October last_ and asked to look at the horses,
and saw a mare, which he said he should like to
purchase for his son, whom he expected from India.
He then desired, to have the mare saddled, and said that
if he liked her lie should purchase her in three or four
days. He rods the mare away, and did not return her
till the present month, in a bad condition, when he offered
the defendant. 4L 4s. A servant, in the employ of Mr.
Cates, prove d that Mr. Bennett said if he liked the
horse, after t hree or four days, he would purchase her,
and that the horse was not returned.

Other witnesses were produced. who proved that Mr.
Bennett pr omised to send the money to Mr. Cates, or to
Mr. Fran a friend of his, and that he liked the mare
very mug
Mr. B ateman gave similar testimony, and further, that
Mr. Cates offered to take back the mare on Monday,
and give 251. for her, if in the same condition as when he
sold her.
Mr. THESICER addressed the Jury for the defendant,
and sa id that the nature of the bargain was that the de-
fenda: .it was to have the option of purchasing the mare
at thl e price of '2O guineas, orhiring her till May-day for
four .guineas.
Se veral witnesses were examined for the defence.
HIS LORDSHIP summed up, and the Jury returned a
erd ict for the plaintiff to the amount of 20 guineas.-

EECTION COMMITTEES,
LYME REGIS.

The Committee, on assembling this morning, pro-
,
cemled to hear the conclusion of Mr. Austin's summing
teip, in support of the vote of James Bridle, end finally
ecided that the vote was a bad one ; it was accordingly
si _rock off.
The sitting Member is now in a minority of one.
The next vote taken was that of Kennicott ; the
gextunination was of the same nature as that of the two
preceding votes, namely, an inquiry into the fact
of the parties being indebted to Mr. Hillman, by accom-
moilutions, or money advanced a considerable time pre-
vious to the election, and consequently being unable to
give an unbiassed vote. The evidence had not concluded
'at the adjournment, at four o'clock.
