It may be interesting to many persons, who
are about to visit France to know, that in the Ducal
Palace at Rouen, there is a piece of tapestry which is a very
curious and authentic monument ; and refutes an important
point in the History of Harold, son to Godwin, Earl of
Kent, as related by Malmsbury and Matthew, Westminster.
Those historians affirm, that Harold had no intention of
going to Normandy (to make the celebrated contract with
the Bastard), but that taking the air in a pleasure boat on
the coast, he was driven thither by stress of weather. In
this tapestry, which is supposed to have been wrought by
order of Matilda, wife to the Emperor (it is at least of great
antiquity,) Harold is represented as taking his departure
from Edward the Confessor, and mounting his vessel with
a great train, in execution of some commission. A fur-
ther a:•count of this tapestry may be seen, in the Histoire
de l'Academie de -Literature. The Pope (Alexander IL )
pronounced Harold a perjured usurper, and sent William,
who had appealed to the Pope, a consecrated banner, and u
ring with one of St. Peter's hairs in it. By virtue of
this hair, the succession (for a conquest of the people was
not attempted) was conquered ! William declared at his
coronation, that he claimed the crown, not jure Lelli (by
right of war) but jure suecessionis (by right of succes-
sion). It was not a conquest of the country, or people,
but only of the King, in the person of Harold ; a very im-
portant distinction, and which differs widely from the con-
quests of the Romans, who were conquerors of the country,
and subjugated it furs belli. William acquired only the
rights which his predecessors exercised.—Brighton Gaz.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

HOUSE OP LOADS, .Iwss 21.

THE LOVAT PEERAGE.

Mr. ADAM stated he was now about to prove those •
'minis of the pedigree, which were left for consideration at
the last hearing of this ease.
Mr. Joan ANDIRSON, W.S. produced evidence to shew
the extinction of all the issue of the last Lord Lovat ; and
also produced documents to shew that Sir Simon Fraser,
of Inverallochy, and Sir James Fraser, of Brea, were sons
of the Bth Lord Lovat ; that Sir Simon was succeeded by
his eon Simon, and that all the males of this line were ex-
tinct, the succession devolving to two heirg portioners
(females)—also, that Sir James Fraser had two sons, James
and David, and that all their male issue are extinct.

Mrs. Alargaret Fraser, or Watson, the daughter of
Lucretia Kennedy, etated, that Sir James Fraser, of Brea,
was her great-great-great-grandfather. The witness proved
all his male issue to be extinct.

This finished the proceedings on the pedigree, chewing
that the present Mr. Fraser, of Lovat, is the heir male of
the body of Hugh, sth Lord Loyal, in which character he
claims the title.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JUNE el.
Mr. Justice BATLEY delivered his charge to the two
Grand Juries for the different hundreds of the County of
Middlesex, who were sworn in this morning.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, hint U.
HAMMITT V. KENNIER.

In this case, Mr. Sergeant ADAM moved to obtain a rule
to show cause why it should not be referred to one of the
Prothonotaries of this Court, why the plaintiff's attorney,*
Mr. Baddeley, should not answer the matters contained in
an affidavit imputing improper conduct to him, and why,
during this time, all proceedings should not be stayed.--'
This application was made on two affidavits, the one
by the defendant, and the other by a person named
Lewis Levy. la these affidavits, it was sworn that
the defendant, having incurred a debt with Baddeley for
costs, be had given two bills, one of which be had not paid
when due. This bill, as Baddeley said, was paid into
the hand, of Hammett, in whose name an action
way brought to recover the amount. In this action, Bad-
deley was the attorney for the plaintiff, but the deponent+
stated that they verily believed the plaintiff, Hammett, ava+
only a fictitious person, and that Baddeley was himself the
real plaintiff in the cause, the bill never having gone out of
his hands, and when dishonoured was noted by his notary,
and returned t 3 him. The affidavits went an to state,
that Baddeley was in the habit of discounting small bills,
which if not paid when due, actions were commenced on
them, and the parties were run to an expence of 50 and
sometimes 75 per cent. It was also sworn, that no bill
of costs could ever be obtained when applied for, and that
Baddeley had been heard to say that Kennier's small bills
were as good as a premium to him.

The CORD Cum, JUSTICE said, that if an attorney got
bills into his possession for the purpose of discounting theta
he was guilty of a gross abase of his office, and .f such
charge could be proved against him, would be punished for
it. The affidavits, however, upon which his Learned
Brother (Adam) had moved, were not sufficiently strong
for the Court to act upon.: they only stated what the deps-
nents had beard. The Court were also of opinion that an
attorney should not be called upon to answer the matter►
of an affidavit on any slight grounds : they therefore thought
it would be better that the Learned Sergeant should pot
his application in such a shape that it might be brought be-
fore one of the Prothonotariee.

Mr. Sergeant ADAM said that was the precise object of
his motion.

Soon after twelve o'clock the Court rose, and the LOSE
CIIEF JUSTICE went to Guildhall, where he commenced
sitting at Nisi Priue.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BOW-STREET.—A person who gave hie name and
address, George Price, barrister, of the Middle 'Templet
was brought up from St. Clement's watch-house, Wort
Sir R. Blunts and Mr. Mixsnum. yesterday, upon tbo
following charge.
John Lawrence, a watchman of the Savoy precinct,
stated, that as he was on duty at half-past one o'clock that
morning, he observed thedefendant about to commit a com •
He (the watchman) desired him to desist, and pointed out
situatedm on
nuisance
a
the corner
the shop door
ton-st of a otm
Wellington-street,
in
tbhoestrakeanrz
more sultaible place ; but the defendant refused to" re-
move, and told the watchman, that " unless he aufftred
him to remain where he was, he should insist upon hills
(the watchman) taking him (the defendant) to the watch-
house; as the publicity or privacy of the place was a point
of law, and he MO determined to see the thing out."
Under these circumstances he took defendant by the arm
for the purpose of leading him further on, when the de-
fcadant seized him by the collar, and he then took him to
the watch -house.

In explanation the defendant stated to the Magistrates,
that he had the sanction of Messrs. Colquhoun and Sin-
clair, two Magistrates of the City of York, for whet. be
was doing. Eighteen years ago these geatlemen bad advised
him to choose the most public situations on such occasioTo
when out at night, as a means of avoiding certain situp'
eions which might attach to a man who went for the pur-
pose to a secluded spot.
The Magistrates told the defendant that whatever might'
be the opinion of the York Magistrates upon the subject,
they could not suffer such conduct. They therefore called
upon him to enter into his own recognizances to abstain
from a repetition of the offence for the future.
