MEETING.-(THIS DAY;)

•
NORTH EAST LONDON AUXILIARY BIBLE SOCIETY.
A meeting of the supporters of the objects of this society, took
place this morning, .at the City of London Tavern, Bishopsgate-
street. Shortly after 12 o'clock F. BUXTON, Esq. M. P. took
the Chair, and read a letter from Lord Bexley, stating that his.
Lordship was prevented attending the Meeting, —owing _to
important business in the House of Lords, requiring
his Lordship's attention. The letter also contained a
handsome subscription from his Lordship.for the benefit
of the Society. Mr. Mortimer read the Report of the proceed-
ings of the-Society during the last year, by which it appeared that
owing to the peculiar pressure of the times,l the subscriptions were
not so large in amount as had been received, during other years,
since the formation of the Society in 1804.
The Rev. John Clayton, the Rev. 3lr. Hughes, and several
other Gentlemen, addressed the Meeting, which had not sepa.
rated when our Paper went to press.

timber At to be cut, without an order upon them for that pur-
pose, such an opinion would have great weight both with the
Master and the Court.
Mr. HORNE then said his client would take his own course.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.
INJUNCTION-It/LYDON V. HULL!

This was an application on the part of the plaintiff, the pro-
prietor of an extensive flax-mill, to restrain the defendant from
diverting from their usual course, or turning off to waste the
waters of two streams by which the plaintiff's mill has hitherto
been worked, or from using the said waters for unnecessary pur-
poses, so as to lessen or vary the quantity which has usually
flowed to the mill. The bill stated that the plaintiff held the mill
under a lease from a gentleman, who was also the proprietor of
the.strip of land in the possession of the defendant through which
these streams passed towards the mill. The defendant had a right
to use so muck of the water as was necessary for the irrigation of
his lands, or for other purposes connected with their proper cul-
tivation ; lie had already exercised this right, but there still re-
mained more than sufficient for the working of the mill : lately,
however, he had broken down the banks of the stream, and per-
mitted the water to flow off to waste.
Mr. KNIGHT, who appeared in support of the application, said
that the conduct of the defendant was occasioned by the following
circumstance :—The defendant had a shop for the sale of bread,
very near the plaintiff's mill. The 'persons coming to the mill
were in the habit of purchasing bread at this shop, to so large an
extent, that he derived a very considerable revenue from it. This
induced the plaintiff to open a shop for a similar purpose, and the
result was that the profits of the defendant's shop were greatly di-
minished. Feeling annoyed that the plaintiff should dare to be-
come a rival of his, he openly declared, that unless the plaintiff
bought his bread from him, and shut his own shop, he (the de..
fendant) would take care that the mill should have no water.
" One bad turn," said he, " deserves another." Acting on .this
principle, he took such effectual measures for carrying his threat
into execution, that the plaintiff's mill was unable to proceed.
The VICX-CHANCELLOR saw no objection to any part of the
application, except that which went to restrain the defendant from
lessening or varying the quantity of the water, the quantity might be
affected by circumstances over which the defendant could have no
control. The injunction might go to restrain him from diverting
the waters from their former course, or from using them for unne-
cessary purposes.—lnjunction granted.

PREROGATIVE COURT.
This being Caveat day in the Prerogative Court, Sir J
lircnom. took his seat at the usual hour.

IN THE GOODS OF ELIZIBETH BAKED..
This case having been argued on the bye-day of last term, the
Court now proceeded to give judgment.
The Case arose out of the construction of the will of a married
woman, who had power to dispose of a certain property under a
marriage settlement. When the deceased parried Mr. Henry
Baker, who is still surviving, she was a widow, and had a consi-
derable sum of nioney'standing in the -funds in her own name.
The settlement gave her full power to dispose of the property,
notwithstanding her coverture, in the same manner as if she
were a femme sole, and the Court conceived that the
only question for its consideration was, whether the testamentary
paper propounded would have been a valid testament had the tes-
-tatria been a femme sole and not a married woman, and the
Court having decided this point in the affirmative, pronounced in
favour of the will.
After some other business, of no public importance, had been
disposed of, the Court adjourned.

CIVIL SIDE.
FLIGHT OF A PLAINTIFF AND HIS.WITNESSES.
' POWELL V. BAINES.
Mr. Joins WILLIAMS stated the case to the Jury. This was
an action brosight to- recover damages_ upon the warranty of a
horse. The facts of the case, as detailed by the Learned Gentle-
man, were as follow :—ln the month of August, the-plaintiff, who
is a tobacconist, at Liverpool, went to the horse fair at Ormskirk,
where the defendant, who is a horse dealer, had the horse' in
question for sale. The plaintiff was desirous of haVing the horse,
and, after some bargaining, purchased it for 33 guineas. A re-
gular warranty was given, and the horse was in every respect
warranted sound. However, the plaintiff had the horse not long
-in his
.possession before he resold it for 35 guineas, to a Mr.
Eccles, of Wigan. It was well known that dealers in horses were
always desirous of making a guinea or two of their bargains, -and
consequently, perhaps with this view,'the sale was made..- The
I horse was taken hoine,.. was fonnd to have a cold or cough, and
the Jury would perhaps be.asvare, that coughs in horses were often
of an extremely doubtful character ; they were considered, 'at
times, as symptoms of something affecting the wind. The cough
or cold was not considered of a dangerous character at first, until
the symptoms increased,-and then a veterinary surgeon was,called
in,. who continued to administer exertions of his skill in medicine
to.the animal till October, without any appearance or manifestith-
provement hi its condition ; but, in fact, it seemed to grow worse,
and Mr. Eccles sent it to Wigan fair, where no purchaser appear-
ing, and the corulition of the animal being the same, he returned
him to the present plaintiff, at Liverpool, where he was deposited
at the stables of a Mr. Lucas, who gave the plaintiff notice that
the liorsawould; from that _time, stand at livery, at -his expenee.
• The defendant.was applied to ; but he refused to make any com-
pensation, and would be proved to have exclaimed "'Oh, I haVe
done him- onee, and will do him again{" The plaintiff refusedto
ply the: expences of the horse's keep, and it was sold. by Mr..
• Lucas for 91., to pay the expences of, -its _Charge while under his
care, The question for the Jury. to. Consider. would be, .whether
the cold was of. that kind that a reasonable expectation could be
entertained of the horse's recovery ;. if so,_the plaintiff had a right
to keep it, to see if it would get better ; and, 'if that was the-case,
he would be entitled to damages, although the usual course was,
upon discovering that the horse was unsound, to return it imme-
diately.
Mr. WILLIAMS called Mr. Hall, a witness.
The name was repeated several times, but no answer could be
obtained.
Mr. WILLIAMS called another witness. No answer. The names
were repeated out of Court, but no individual came forward.
Mr. WILLIAMS called the plaintiff's attorney. That gentleman
did not answer, and was not to be found any where within the
precincts of the Shire-hall.
- Mr. WILLIAMS—Oh, me, why I am deserted ; my attorney
and my witnesses have eloped from me.
Mr. SCARLETT—Aye, aye, my_friend, they have moved off to
Liverpool ; they did not like to face the danger.
. A Gentleman said he had seen Mr. Armstrong and the wit-
nesses in this cause in Lancaster. •
Mr. SCARLETT—They may as well know away, because _they

Mr. SCARLETT—Oh, yu, my Lord, I appear: for the defendant,
and we have really such a defence, that if all the witnesses were
here, the plaintiff would be nonsuited.
Mr. WILLIAMS...-011, yes, my Learned Friend says, my Lord,
that because he is for the defendant, the plaintiff must, as a matter
of course, be nonsuited.
Mr. ScaaLarr—Oh, dear, no, I do not say so ; I say, that we
have such a good defence, the defendant would be entitled to a
verdict.
Mr. Baron Hum.ocx—Call the witnesses on the part of the
plaintiff once snore.
The witnesses and the plaintiff's attorney were again called, and
not appearing, the Learned Judge directed the plaintiff to be non-

suited.
Mr. WILLIAMS—Now, I say, I think we have lost nothing by
the absence of our evidence.
A THIRSTY WELSHMAN.

PRITCHARD P. ROOSE.
Mr. F. POLLOCK stated, this was an action for goods sold and
delivered. The defendant pleaded the Statute of Limitations, and
that he was not liable.
From the evidence, it appeared that the plaintiff is a publican,
in the Isle of Anglesea, at or near Beaurnaris, and the defendant
is a mariner, attached to the pilot-boat from that Island, and was
one of the. plaintiff's best customers, and succeeded, somewhere
about the year 1815, in running up a score of 161. for ale alone,
only 21. out of which he had paid. He was proved to have made,
within the last two years, various admissions of the debt, and con-
sequently there was an end of the plea under the Statute of
Limitations.
In cross-examination by Mr. CRU3IPTON, the witness said, Roose
was excessively fond of ale ; he drank nothing else ; he generally
drank by himself, and but seldom treated any body else ; he some-
times, at one sitting, drank ten shillings' worth of ale ; he was a

wonderful man. -
Mr. Baron Hum.ock:—How much have you known bins drink
at a sitting ?
Witness—How much ? Why I can safely say be drank a 6
much as ten gallons a day.—(Laughter.)
Mr. Baron HuLtocx—He was a surprising fellow. HOW long
did he sit?
Witness—Aye, sometimes for days together; be w°uld never
leave off while he could get the ale.

Chairman, in which he explained the objects of the Corporation.
In the estimation of the more refined portion of
mankind, there are four requisites for being a gentleman ; first,
good family ; secondly, good education ; thirdly, good mamma
I remember, many years ago, to
have met with an account of an experiment to ascertain the pee=
nicious effect of drinking tea; in which it was' stated, that a
single ounce of that deleteriousdrug, having been steeped for only
five minutes in a quart of boiling spring water, rendered it ea coe- „
rosive, that it immediately took all the hairs off a, raw pig'. tail,
that was put into it. What havoc must it then make with the
tender coats, of the stomach ! The chemist_was too intent on the
subject of his inquiry, tea, to think of trying the effects of hot
water without it.--Knight on Taste.
EVIDENCE OF CHRISTIANITY.—It is said (in
the India Gazette) that the famous Burman General Bundoola,
who was killed at the siege of Donabew, began, before his death.
to evince symptoms of Christianity. When the Mugh (a native
belonging to the Chittagong frontier,) who reported this waitress-
ing fact, was pressed to explain what these symptoms wars, las
replied, with much simplicity, that Bundoola was of " master's
caste," having acquired a relish for the enjoyment of roast beef.
pork, and brandy.
INDULGENCIES.—A gentleman of Leipsic re-
quested from Tetzel, the eloquent ealesman of indulgencres, absolu-
tion for a certain crime which be intended,to commit, but which
he refused to specify.. Tetzel premised this indulgence, provided
they could agree as to- the price. The, 'limey requited was paid.
and the absolution delivered ; but shortly after the complaint-
Tetzet was way-laid, cudgelled, and, robbed of a considerable, sum
by his Leipsic customer,, who told him at parting that- this was
the crime for which_ he had obtained remission. -
A STRAIGHT-FORWARD MOUSE.—One Of the
greatest curiosities of Lapland is a retnarkaide kind of mouse, in-
habiting the tops of mountains, and theUce descending in swarms
into the plains, pursuing always in their course, the same straight
line, from which they Will not deviate. If they encounter a man
they will rather be trod upon or bite him, than turn out of the
line they observe. In this manner they are devoured by the
rein-deer ; and constitute the only animal food which that animal
is known to eat ; but if they escape the rein-deer, they cross
rivers and lakes, until at last taking to the sea itself, they never

return.
THE CASINO AT S.MYRNA.—The carnival has
begun here, but the weather has been most unpropitious. The
only difference I have as yet remarked in Smyrna in consequence
of this gay season is, that the beautiful Smyrniots show their lovely
faces more frequently abroad, but I have not seen any masks as
yet, but they say there will be some next week. Balls are also
given during the carnival, at the Casino, every Thursday. This
is the only establishment of the kind in Turkey, and fully deserv-
ing of all the praises bestowed on it. It is a most elegant build-
ing, and the interior more than fully realises the opinion a stranger
forms from the exterior. It is supported entirely at the expence
of the merchants. It opens every evening at eight o'clock. There
are Galignani's Messenger and all the French papers in the
reading-room, a most excellent library, and all approved new pub-
lications, reviews, monthly magazines, &c. &c. There are billiard.
tables also, and several sitting-rooms, with ottomans all' k
them. This establishment is open to the navy, both English,. .
_"
foreign, and to such gentlemen as the members think

admit. Unfortunately, the ladies do not frequent th•nuuk,
