THE " NO-POPERY " CRlERS.—Johnson
observed, " Those who can cry Popery ! in the present
times, would have cried Fire ! fire ! in the time of the
Deluge. The Irish are in a most unnatural state : the
minority prevails over the majority : there is no instance,
even iu the ten persecutions, of such severity as that which
the Protestants of Ireland have exercised against the Ca -
tholics."—Borteell.

RARA AVIS.—WONDERS NEVER CEASE.
—A Correspondent at Brietouse, near Halifax, has this
week furnished us with a marvel in the feathered tribe in
Yorkshire, equal to that which has recently come to light
in London, under the designation of " The Woman Hus-
band."—" A very fine osuft lien in my possession," says
John Lancaster, our Correspondent, "upwards of 20 years
old, and which has laid eggs regularly for many years,
changed her feathers during the Autumn of the last year,
and is now become a fine cock !"—Leeds Mercury.
An attempt at rape was last week committed
in the parish of Urray, Ross-shire, by a blind man named
Munro, on the person of a young woman about 15 years
of age. lie knocked the girl down, in consequence of
which her arm was dislocated. After a severe struggle
the girl escaped. At the time of this brutal assault, the
man's wife was going about the country with a begging
petition on his behalf !—lnverness Courier.
We understand that another improvement is
about to take place with respect to the Edinburgh night
mail. Instead of, as at present, going round by Falkirk,
it is after Tuesday to be run by Airdrie at the same hour.
There will be a post rider to Kilsyth dispatched about four
o'clock, morning, with the letters for Kirkintillock,
fron, &c., and the arrival from these places will be at ten
o'clock evening.— Glasgow Chronicle.
LATE CROPS.--As a proof of the abundance
of the late harvest in the Northern Counties, we may men-
tion that the trading vessels are at present busily engaged
'in transporting grain to the southern markets, particularly
London and Leith. Cargoes of potatoes from some of
She most remote districts have also been sent southwards.

The severity of the weather has introduced
vast flights of wild fowl into the harbours of Chichester
and Langston, and also in the various creeks and marshes
along' the coast. The shops and markets exhibit beautiful
varieties of the duck tribe. The immense flocks of the
golden plover are astonishing. Golding, of Emsworth,
killed in one day 63 ducks and widgeon ; and Page, of
Selsea, obained 29 widgeon at one shot !—ltants Citron.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.
TIIELLUSON V. WOODFORD.

His LORDSHlPobs;rved, that this case stood for
judgment to-clay, but in consequence of what he
was about to state he should defer going into it.
He had received a letter from one of the trustees,
Sir Charles Flint, stating certain facts connected
with the cause which he, Sir Charles Flint,might sup'
pose would affect the judgment the Court was
about to pronounce, but which, by no possibility,
could. Sir Chas. Flint also made complaints of
the manner in which he had been treated by Couiv
sel. As fur as related to the observations made in
Court upon Sir C. Flint, his Lordship considered
there was no ground for them, for the order which
was complained of was made in 1811, at the instiga-
tion of Mr. Charles Thelluson, and he (Sir
Charles Flint) was not appointed a trustee
till the year 1812. He had every reasne
to think, from all the proceedings that had taken
place, that they were sanctioned by full consideration
on the part of the Court. There was no imputation
resting on Sir Charles Flint for his conduct during
any part of the transaction. But his Lordship must
say, that it was most irregular and improper for hire
to address the Court, particularlystatinga fact which
might affect its judgment. His Lordship considered
it his duty to hand such a letter over to the Counsel
on the opposite side, and he should now order it im-
mediately to be handed over to Mr. Sngden or Mr.
Pepys. The Court would also take the present
opportunity of stating, that in a cause of Purrier and
Rankin, which was now depending for judgment,
it had received a letter from a lady of the name
of Hollings, with a view of influencing its deci-
sion; that letter should also be handed over
to the opposite Counsel. His Lordship had
also received a letter in another case, the name et
which he did not recollect, of a similar nature, and
no doubt intended for the same purpose. The Court
thought when it was publicly known that all letters
written to it in a defending cause, would share the.
fate that had been pointed out, it might have the effect
of putting an end to a practice of so highly improper
arid unwarrantable a nature. With respect to the
case of Thelluson and . Woodford, his Lordship
would not say any thing as to the construction Of
the will till either Mr. Sugden or Mr. Pepys had
had an opportunity of reading the letter, and mak-
ing any observations they thought proper upon it.

HARRIS V. KE3IBLE.

The Court then proceeded with this part heard
appeal.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH.
(SITTINGS IN BANCO.)
GAME LAWS.—IN RE SILYESTER.
In this case, Mr. CAMPBELL had to show cause
against a rule for it writ of certiorari to quash a con'
viction under the Game Laws, in which the de.
fendant was convicted in a penalty for killing game
as an unqualified person. It appeared that Silvester
was servant to a Mr. Lee who was qualified,
and that the master, being without a guy
bad authorized Silvester, who was carrying it,
to shoot a partridge. Mr. Campbell contended
that the fact of the master being present and sanc-
tioning the shooting by his servant, was not a sub'
dent authority to authorise the servant's killing,
game. lie therefore pressed for the discharge nt
the rule.
Mr. TALFOuRD in support of the rule cited cases
in support of his proposition, that a servant was au'thorised to kill game under the direction and in the
presence of the master. In one case a servant had
set on hounds, and in another a servant had set a
trap, both being done in the presence of master,
and the Court had held that such direction was a
sufficient authority on the part of the servant to
kill game. He trusted that no distinction could be
made on principle between setting a trap and pulling
a trigger.
The COURT refused to grant the rule, Mr. Justice
Bailey observing, that if such were to be considered
a sufficient authority, that a man might go out with
twenty servants, each having a gun, and kill a°
many partridges as he phased.--Rule discharged.
THE KING v. TREADAWAY.
This was an indictment for perjury, tried at the
sittings before Michaelmas Term before Lord Ten'
terden, iu which the defendant was convicted.
The fact sworn to by the defendant, and allege('
to be false, was, that he being au attorney, had re'
eeived instructions to defend a Mr. M'Claren, frog'
a Mr. Banbury, and not from Mr. M'Claren himself;
as contended for the prosecution on the trial.
Sir J. SC4RLETT now moved for a stew trialt
on several affidavits, which would clearly pt ove that
every one of the witnesses for the prosecution IWO
mistaken as to the day on which the instruction°
were received by the defendant ; they had all sworn
that the instructions were given on a Sunday in
October, when the affidavits of the Sheriff's office;
who arrested M'Claren, proved that he was arrested
on the 11th Sept.--Rule Nisi granted.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.
BUSHNELL V. LEVI.

This was an action to recover damages for injuri
done to a gig, and the plaintiff obtained at the trial 0
verdict, with damages 41. 18s.
Mr. Sergeant ANDREWS now applied to the Court,
to prevent the plaintiff from recovering his costs 0'
action, under the following circumstances. The de'
fendunt is a sheriff's officer, anct.resides in Newmuir
street, Oxford-street, but his place of business le ill
Fetter-lane, and within the boundaries of the city
According to the laws which govern the recover,
of debts in the city, if a plaintiff does not recover ti
sum in damages above forty shillings, he pays t.
costs of both parties; and if he does recover ova
4.05., but under 51., he in that case pays his owl'
costs. In the present case the Learned Sergeant
contended that the plaintiff ought to have sued the,
defendant in the Court of Requests, and as he has
thought proper to resort to the upper Court, 511'
had only recovered 41. 18s., he must take the Cow
sequences and pay his own costs. The place of 0'
siness of the plaintiff was within the city, and
therefore should have sued him in the City Court
Requests.
Some cases were cited to show that where aPO
sons resided out of the city, though their place of lA
siness by which they earned their livelihood w'ls
within its boundaries, they were within its jurisdle'
tion, and ought to be sued there.
The COURT granted a rule to show cause.

Mr. H. Grattan, M.P. has had a pleurisy, "1
erysipelas, and a nervous affection, and has lost ninet;
ounces of blood. He is, therefore, as may be suppoied,
an extremely delicate state—still unable to leave his room
and it is doubtful whether it will be in his power, by I,';
effort, to occupy his place in Parliament on the sth (OP

HORRIBLE MURDER.—In the afternoon °
Saturday last, so early as four o'clock, Simon Wa!she/
farmer, from Fedamore, who had been at market in • ll'
city during the day, was cruelly murdered at Rathba°!

the South Liberties, when on his return home, Vis
was observed a short time after, lying on the road, and In
messed in a pool of blood, his skull beat in with stones
three places, and the brain protruding through tl
wounds! On the wall immediately adjoining the fat
spot were imprinted in blood-red colours the marks of tl
man's fingers, while struggling with his ferocious n
iu
derers. This savage outrage was committed on thgrpvgl
fare, and before day-light had merged in the shadows
evening. The spectacle was absolutely horrifying, a►
which none but a rough spirit could bear to look at.
