IN RE DURHAM CHARITIES.

This was the petition of the . surviving trustees of
certain estates in the city of Durham, -which had been
left for the benefit and support of two bridges in the
town, and the surplus rents were to be applied to the
support of a lecturer. The charities were formed as
long ago as 1698, by the ancestors of Henry Baines,
and the trustees of them had always been appointed
by the Corporation of Durham. It so happened, how-
ever, that, in the petition presented in 1336, under the
Municipal Act, for the appointment of new trustees,
these two charities were omitted ; since then, two of
the trustees of the other charities of the town had uied,
and what the petition prayed was, either that it might
be referred to the Master to appoint new trustees, and
to include those two charities, or that they might be
conveyed to the trustees of the other charities, under
the order of the Court.

Mr. ROMILLY appeared for the petition.
Mr. LLOYD did not oppose the petition, but sub-
mitted that the nomination should remain in the Cor-
poration, where it had been for the last century.
Mr. ROMILLY had no objection to the adoption of
such a course.

The LORD CHANCELLOR ordered it to be referred to
the Master to appoint two new trustees, and declared
that the nomination of the lecturer was in the Corpo-
ration of Durham.

IN THE MATTER, OF SMITH, A SUPPOSED LUNATIC.

This case came before the Court upon the petition
of the wife of James Smith, praying that a Commis-
sion de luntdieo inquirendo might issue 'against him.
From the affidavits in support of the petition, it ap-
peared that Smith was so confirmed a lunatic, that it
had been found necessary to place him in a private
lunatic asylum.
Mr. WIGRAM appeared for the petitioner.
Mr. MOODY was counsel for the brothers and sister
of the supposed lunatic, and submitted that they were
entitled to attend the Commission, together with the
lunatic.

The LORD CHANCELLOR made the order for the
Commission, observing that there coPlia be no objectio n
to the lunatic and his brothe
and sisters attending
the Commission, but it :dust be at their own expense,

LORD ALVAN-LEY V. THE EARL OF KINNAIRD.

On the application of Mr. Wakefield, the LORD
CHANCELLOU ordered that the supplemental bill that
had been filed in this case, which had been set down
before Vice-Chancellor Wigram, be transferred t o
the paper of the Vice-Chancellor of England, the ori-
ginal cause having been set down before his Honour.

ROLLS' COURT, Nov. 3.
SPARKS V. TILE DEVON AND CORNWALL. BANKING

COMPAN Y.

This cause, which had been part-heard yesterday,
was resumed to-day, after
dome unopposed motions
and petitions had been d;:sposed of.
The application
Sparks, late of was on behalf of Mr. Henry
'le Banking Company of Sparks an d
Co., of -E-seter, for an injunction to restrain the de-
fell".-Ant, 'Mr. Deny, who is registrar and public
officer of the Devon and Cornwall Banking Company,
from issuing execution on a verdict obtained against
the plaintiff in the Court of Queen's Bench, for up-
wards of 5,000/. ; also to restrain the said officer from
proceeding in a suit to recover another sum of
18,8414 mentioned in the pleadings. It ap-
peared that Thomas Henry and Joseph Sparks
had been bankers in Exeter, and in the year

1836 they agreed that Joseph should treat for selling
and transferring the business of their bank to the
Devon and Cornwall Bank for 10,000/. ; that the
latter were to wind up the affairs, assume the
debts, and discharge the liabilities of Sparks
and Co. A part of the arrangement was that
the Devon and Cornwall Banking Company should pur-
chase certain freehold and leasehold estates belonging
to the firm of Sparks for 24,000/. A private arrange-
ment had also been made by Joseph Sparks on his own.
account with the Devon.and Cornwall Company, that
he (Joseph) was to purchase back the estates
mentioned at the price they (the Devon and Cornwall
Bank) were to give, and Joseph accordingly had.
given a•note for that sum, namely, 24,0001., and, had
since, from time to time, paid 6,0001. of it. Joseph
Sparks had since died, and the Devon
and Cornwall Company had proceeded against
the only surviving partner, henry Sparks,
for the balance of 18,0001. On the part of the De-
von and Cornwall Company it was stated that they
had not made good the titles of the estates to be pur-
chased, while the surviving partner, Ilenry Sparks,
stated that he had nothing to do with any private
arrangement of the Company with his brother Joseph,
and denied his liability to be bound thereby.
Mr. PEMBERTON having concluded his reply,
Lord LANGDALE, in passing judgment, said that the
question to be decided was, whether the plaintiff was
to be required to pay any money into Court, and if
so, what sum. As the transaction then appeared
to his Lordship, he thought he ought not
to permit the defendant to go on to com-
pel the plaintiff to pay the large sums of money
which the defendants claimed as due from him to.
them. There were undoubtedly in the case a great.
many important questions, which, if not settled by
the parties without the intervention of the Court,
would require a great deal of discussion before they
were satisfactorily settled. But the single
question now to be considered was, whether one
party was to proceed on a legal right, which he might
have, thus having all the advantages of, perhaps, hav-
ing those questions decided in his favour. His Lord-
ship then went on to recapitulate the facts above-
mentioned, and declared it his opinion that the
injunction must be granted to restrain the
proceedings. lie would read over the answer
with a view to determine whether any sum,
and if any, what sum should be paid into Court.
Ile wished to avoid giving any opinion on the matters
to be determined in the case, but he did not wish the
defendant to take away the whole of the sums when
the questions had not been determined, which
might be determined in favour of the plaintiff.

VICE-CHANCELLORS' COURT, Nov. 3.
(Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR OF ENGLAND.)
PARISH OF ST. JAMES'S, CLERKENW ELL—SCOTT V. PAS•

CALL, AND PASCALL V. SCOTT.
His HONOUR, gave judgment in this double case, the
circumstances of which, and the decision now given
on it, are of great importance and interest -to the

officers and ratepayers of the large and } wpulous
parish of St. James's, Clerkenwell. His Honour

stated that he meant to give judgment in be cases,
the substantial question of which was, whether a deed
executed by Mr. John Scott on the 27th of October,
1837, should be allowed to stand as security, as the
parties filing the cross bill insisted it should -do, for a
sum of money said to be due from the said John Scott
to the parish of St. James's, Clerkenwell. ".The plead-
ings were very extensive, but the facts appeared to be
these. In the month f March, 1834, John Scott
filled various public offices in the above: parish,
an he
being Guardian of the Poor, and Overseer, d
also a Trustee for some Church. In that month
some suspicions were entertained by the parish
that Mr. John Scott bad not acted faithfully in the
offices he sustained, but that he had appropriated to
his own use large sums belonging to tile parish. A
Committee was appointed by the parish to investigate
the truth of these circumstances, and John Scott took
alarm at what was going forward in the parish. By
certain documents executed on the 13th 41.nd 14th of
April, 1834, it appeared that all the tangik le property
of the said John Scott was vested in hit. brother, Wil-
liam Scott, and a gentleman named .Turner. This
property consisted of a freehold, a leasehold tenement,
a mortgage, and in addition a sweepiny conveyance
assigning over all his personal estate. hese were all
conveyed in trust for the use of Mrs. John Scott.
On 'Tuesday, the 15th of April, a warrant
was taken out for the apprehension of Mr, John
Scott. The above deeds ere
of
e iexecuted • on
the night of the 14th,. or the the 15th
of April, and on the morning of the day
Mr. J. Scott absconded, and rem •_ ed abroad from
the time he first left till the 26th of Oct., 1837. At
the time he left placards were issued about the parish,
offering a rewardwfohratthme?asapprehension of Mr. J. Scott,
and the terror of

the warrant, in the m°onntthhem
mind of Mr. Scott. Besides

ment of outlawry of June, 1835, an

was brought against him, and as he
person to plead to that indictment,
the proceedinof
him gs outlawry were made perfect against
in August, 1836. It was fairly to be inferred
that the real object of these proceedings was to enable
those conducting the prosecution, by means of sonic
grant from the Crown, to obtain dominion over the
personal property of Mr. Scott, either to deprive him of
it, or to compel him to appear to the indictment; in the
meantime his situation abroad appeared to be one of
very great distress. On the 13th of July, 1837, a letter,
stated to have been drawn up by Mr. Bodkin, the
eminent Counsel, who throughout acted as the adviser
of the parish, was sent to the Committee, in the name
of Mr. J. Scott. If really written by Mr. Bodkin,
this letter did him a great deal of credit, for it showed
a great degree of feeling and regard, both for the cir-
cumstances of Mr. J. Scott and the parish.. The pro-
posals, however, contained both in this letter and in a
subsequent one senton the 20th of July, were rejected
by the parish. It appeared as if the parish was im-
moveable, and that nothing could satisfy it but the
having secured to it the whole of that sum which,
in the Report of the Committee was, in a certain
manner held out to be due to it from 31r.
Scott. On the 26th of October, 1837, Mr. Scott re-
turned from France, and imuzadiatev procee4 led to

This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a me-
dical practitioner, to recover the amount of his bill,
from the defendant, for medical attendance. The case
was tried before Lord Penman, at the last Middlesex
sittings, after term, and a verdict had been returned
for the plaintiff of 28/.. lls. 10d.
Mr. CROWDER now applied for a rule to show cause
why the verdict should not be set aside and a nonsuit
entered, or why a new trial should not be granted.
He made this application on two grounds—first, that
the.plaintiff was not duly qualified as an apothecary,
and therethre could not recover; and secondly, that
the plaintiff had pre7iously sent in a bill of particulars
to the brother of the defendant, demanding from him,
the -brother, the amount ; thus showing that
the plaintiff considered he had been em-
ployed by defendant's brother, and not by defendant.
With regard to the first point, it had been admitted
by the plaintiff that he was not a licentiate of the
Apothecaries' Company, and therefore to enable him
to recover it was necessary for him to show either
that he was it practice on Ist August, 1815, or that
he had held a commission as a -surgeon or as-
is!- an t-surge:m in the. army or navy. • A Captain Gar-
rett bad been called, who proved that plaintiff
had acted as assistant-surgeon to the Tipperary Mi-
litia from June, 1809, to Jttly, 1815, at which period
he had lefr, and had been re-arpointed in 1818. No
con-eni.isioki had been produced, although Captain
Garrett, who had acted as Paymaster, stated that he
had paid plaintifi' as nssistant-surgeon, and that he
should not have done so if plaintiff had not
produced his warrant or commission. 1i oar,
this evidence did not show that plaintiff was in prac-
tice, on the Ist of August 1815, and it had been held
that it was necessary to show that a party was in prac-
tice on that day, to enable him to recover, and that
showing he had been in practice previous to that day
was not sufficient. With regard to the plaintiff's al-
legation that he was an assistant-surgeon in. tLe Tip-
perary Militia, the Learned Counsel submitted to the •
Court that the commission itself must be produced
or at least shown to have been lost before secondary
evidence of the fact, such as that tendered by Captain
Garrett, could be admitted. On the second point, the
Learned Counsel for the defendant had, at the trial,
called a witness to produce the bill of par-
ticulars which had been sent in to defendant's
brother. That witness happened, unfortu-
nately, and quite unexpectedly, to be absent at
the time, and, consequently, did not appear.
He now, however, produced an affidavit from that
witness satisfactorily accounting for his absence on
that occasion; and the bill of particulars delivered to
the defendant's brother was annexed to the affidavit,
which bill corresponded exactly with the bill delivered
to defendant.

Lord DENMAN decided against the application on
the first point, thinking that there was evidence to
go to the Jury as to the fact of the plaintiff having
held a commission in the Tipperary Militia, and that
after a lapse of 27 years he could not be called upon
to show what had become of the warrant under which
he had acted. On the second point the defendant was
entitled to his rule.—The other Judges concurred.

.BLACKBOURNE AND ANOTHER, V. WIIITEHEAD--LOAN

SOCIETIES.

This was an action brought by the trustees of the
Amicable Loan Society, to recover the sam of 91.,
being the balance due upon a bill of exchange, of
which the defendant was one of the acceptors, and
which had been received by the Society as security
for a loan of 151., advanced to a person whose name
did not appear. The case was tried before the Se-
condary, and a verdict was found for the plaintiff.
Sir T. WvLDE now moved for a rule nisi for a,new
trial. The action was brought under the sth and 6th
Will. IV., c. 23, one of the provisions of which was, that
loan societies, whose rules were deposited, certified,
and enrolled in manner and form therein specified,
should have against defaulting borrowers and their
sureties certain facilities for recovering payment, not
available under other circumstances; and, further,
they were allowed to receive as security uns:amped
bills of exchange or promissory notes, and to proceed
upon them with the same effect as if they were stamped.
In the present case it appeared that at the time
w the loan \
vas made and the bill of ex-
change drawn, the rules of the Society were
not certified, enrolled,
Theref_orel the

that the Society did at the time of the loan, come

Onthis ground he moved
for a rule to set aside

-Mr. Ashley, a solicitor, stated that he was induced,
from motives of humanity, to appear on behalf of the
complainant, who was a poor unemployed shoemaker,
living with his wife and five children in a place called
Britannia-gardens, Hoxton. He had occupied the
same house for nearly two years, and had regularly
paid the rent until a-few weeks back, when, owing to
a deprivation of work he was unable to do so any
longer. The arrears amounted only to 7s. 6d., but a
demand of 1/. ss. was made upon him, for which a dis-
tress warrant was obtained. The defendant Pickford
was employed to make the distraint, and on Frida7
last a party of his men proceeded to the complainant s
house, and having procured a ladder they ascended to
the roof and began to displace the tiles in order to ef-
fect an entrance. They soon made an extensive breach
immediately over the heads of the complainant's child-
ren, who were asleep in the apartment below, and a
quantity of dust and mortar having descended upon
them, the complainant opened the door, being appre-
hensive that the roof would fall in and crush them.
The party then entered and seized the whole of his ef-
fects, after which they pulled out the stove, and actu-
ally removed the doors and window-sashes, leaving the
place a complete ruin. The solicitor added, that to
consummate the injustice and illegality of the pro-
ceeding, the person claiming to be the landlord had no
more right to the property than the complainant himself.
Lee, the defendant's representative, said that he
attended with the broker's party, and could testify
that the defendant refused them admittance before
they resorted to the course complained of. They
acted in the matter under theauthority of the landlord
whose letter of instructions he then held in his hand.
The MAGISTRATE expressed his surprise upon hear-
ing that the complainant was still in the house, as he
conceived it must have been rendered uninhabitable
after being pulled to pieces in the way described.
Fitzgerald, the summoning officer, said that he had
visited the house, and such a scene of desolation he
had never be ore witnessed. It was exposed to all the
inclemency of the weather, a long gap having been
made in the roof to the extent of four feet, and there
was not a vestige of furniture in the place. He found
the wife and five children huddled together in the
miserable apartment, and they appeared in such a state
of distress and suffering that he gave them half a
crown out of his own pocket to supply them with the
common necessaries of nature.

After a short conversation between Mr. Ashley and
the Magistrate, the further investigation of the case
was adjourned for a week.

chargewhen

from
mthistrCanospurtorotantitohne,
waited on Mr. Cottiughain relative to some proceed-
ings which had been adopted against that individual
since he had been taken into custody and removed to
Ireland. Mr. Crisp reminded the Magistrate of the
.
different occasions on which Craufurd was
brought before him on the charge of returning. from
transportation, until he was at length discharged by
him for want of the necessary proof to establish his
identity. Since then, however, Mr. Craufurd had
been subjected to. very great persecution. He was
again taken into custody about three weeks ago,
dragged away from his wife and family in Lambeth,
and on a warrant brought over from Ireland, backed
at this Court, he was taken to that country.. The
only evidence adduced in support of the charge against
Mr. Craufurd was that of a person named Lamb, who
identified him as having seen him on board the Essex
hulk at Kingstown, previously to his transportation.
If such was the ict that Mr. Craufurd had been
sentenced to banishment, how was it known to
the witness that the sentence had not been com-
muted ? But upon the bare testimony of the
person alluded to, he (Mr. Crisp) considered that
it wa3 a great hardship for his client to be re-
moved -from this country, where, all his witnesses
were present, and taken to Ireland, particularly as
Lamb was over here, and might be called on his
trial. The Magistrate who backed the warrant in
this country had no alternative, and Mr. Craufurd
was taken away. Ile (Mr. Crisp), since then, had
a copy of the depositions taken in Dublin transmitted
to him, upon which Mr. Craufurd was committed for
trial, and the only evidence implicating him in the
alleged charge was that of Lamb, who, as before
stated, had, according to his account, only seen him
on beard a certain hulk, preparatory to his transporta-
tion. If Mr. Craufurd had been committed here, his
trial would have taken place at an early period, in-
stead of which, he is now doomed to remain in gaol
until the next Spring Assizes before he is tried. With
respect to the alleged charge of Mr. Craufurd having
returned from transportation, he (Mr. Crisp) was
satisfied there was not-the slightest grounds, and that
it was a vile conspiracy got up against him in order,
if possible, to
_get rid of him out of this country, so
that he. should not be in a condition to prosecute his

PARIS ACADEMY OF SCIENCES.
SITTING OF OCT. 24.—One of the first papers
read in this sitting was by M. de Roeranet, on the
means of improving the resources of the French pea-
santry. It has been frequently remarked with sur-
prise by persons unacquainted with the circumstances,
that the French, although possessing rich pasturage
and all the other apparent means of operation, should
be tributary to Switzerland, England, and other
countries, for the better sorts of cheese consumed in
France. Why, it is asked, should they go to Eng-
land for Cheshire cheese, and to Switzerland for
Gruyere ? The answer is because in France property
is so divided and sub-divided that there are no
dairies on the extensive scale r,quired for carry-
ing on this branch of rural manufacture with success.
But it will be again asked—lf the divisions of pro-
perty are so numerous in France, are they not equally.
or even more so, in Switzerland, and yet the cheese-
trade is a continued source of wealth in that country ?
This question brings us precisely to the main point of
M. de Romanet's paper. In Switzerland, until of
late years, the making of Gruyere cheese was limited
to a few wealthy persons; for as it was necessary, for
the quality of the article, that the cheeses should be
very large, and that the milk should be coagulated or
the day of its being taken from the cow, it was onl.
by keeping a very large number of cows that the manu.
facture of Gruyere cheese' could be carried on. The
owner of one, two, or three cows, was therefore,
unable to profit by the demand for this particular
kind of cheese in foreign countries. At length, how-
ever, an ingenious mode of enabl:ng the poor pea-
santry to compete with the more wealthy, was hit
upon. It was proposed to establish a cheese-dairy
upon a joint-stock principle; to keep an account of
the quantity of milk delivered by each person, and
to apportion the profits arising from the sale of the
cheese to the different contributors, according to the
amount of their contributions. The idea was carried
into execution, and has become general in Switzerland.
M. de Romanet proposes that the plan should be tried
in France. It could not fail to be successful, for how
many peasants are there keeping only one cow who
are unable to dispose of the milk to advantage ? In
this way, a constant and regular market could be se-
cured, and the dairy-keeper, to whose care would be
entrusted the interests of the mass of contributors,
would be able to give the fullest extension to the ar-
rangements which are necessary in order to compete
successfully with the wealthy agriculturist.
The reading of this paper was followed by one of a
curious nature connected with the food of herbivo-
rous animals.
The author, M. Dumas, says he
has ascertained . that the quantity of fat in
animals
has be in a healthy state, does not depend, as
been generally supposed, upon some pecu-
liar process in the digestion, but upon the quan-
tity of fatty matter contained in the food that is
eaten. In order to establish a theory so absolute, and,
as many will think, so unreasonable, M. Dumas has
given an account to the Academy of several practical
stating that, on an ana-
lysis by
rfndian corn, he found the
formerpercent. of fatty matter, and the latter
experiments.

be found equivalent. to that contained in her
food. M. Liebig, who has written on this subject,
denies that the maize contains any portion of fatty
matter. He states that having giVen to a goose,
36 pounds of maize, the ani-
mal of nine pounds, and when
weighinggrew fourte thpeotinds weight,
killed furnished three pounds and a half of grease.
All this he contends was the result of digestion, the
food having no fatty matter ; but without adopting
the theory of M. Dumas, which indeed appears to us
to be a very strange one, it is impossible not to be
struck with the opportunity that M. Liebig's experi-
ment affords to \M- Dumas to establish his theory in
his own way. M. Liebig says that there is no fatty
substance in maize, and consequently that as a goose,
after eating 36 pounds of it, acquired three pounds and
a half of fat, the result was due to the mysterious ope-
ration of the digestion, and not to the food. M. Du-
mas, on the contrary, contends that in maize there is
nine per cent of fatty matter. Nine per cent. upon
thirty-six pounds, and an allowance for the quantity
of fat upon the goose when it weighed only four
pounds, would give something like the quantity which
M, Dumas says exists in the food in question.
A communication was made to the Academy of an
animal of the rat species, until lately unknown,_ having
been found alive on the summit of the Faulhoon
Mountain, in Switzerland, which is 2,683 metres
ahove the level of the sea. M. Martius, who dis-
covered this animal, and who has several specimens
preserved in spirits, has given to it the name ofarvicola
nivalis. According to M. Hugi, an animal of this
kind was seen upon the Strahleck, at the height of
3,150 metres above the level of the sea.

This was an action of debt, in which the verdict
was for the defendant, who proved that he had ten-
dered, before the action commenced, the amount for
which he was sued; but the tender was accompanied
by a condition that the plaintiff should admit a certain
set-off, and give a receipt in full of all demands.
Mr. Sergeant CHANNELL obtained a rule abso.ti' e
for a new trial, the Court holding that a tender made
with such conditions was not a legal tender.

On business in Brewer-street, Golden-square, and this
action was brought to recover 311., the amount at
which the defendant, a draper, bought a piece of
cloth on sale in the plaintiff's rooms. The defence
was, that the cloth was deficient of the measure which
it was stated to contain when put up to auction. This,
I.iou ever, was not held at the trial to be a goof de-

from the, sale-room before he measured it.

Purcell, the musician, died on the 21st of Novem-
ber, 1695, in the 37th year of his age. It is said that
his untimely death was occasioned by his having been
kept standing one cold right at his own door, for a
.considerable time, in consequence of his wife's dis-
pleasure at his :laving stayed too , late at a convivial
party. Purcell had good and amiable qualities, but
his domestic character was by no means exemplary,
and he was addicted to low and dissolute company.
That Aln-•,. Purcell was a careful and affectionate wife,
there is reason to believe. By his will, dated three
weeks before his death, he leaves all his effects to his
" loving wife Frances," and appoints her his sole execu-
trix, lie was buried in Westminster Abbey. His

THE FARMER'S ALMANAC FOR 1843.—This manna
for Farmers is edited by C. W. Johnson, Esq.,
a name well known among agriculturists,
assisted by William Show, Esq., late Secretary to the
Royal Agricultural Society of England, and is the
most copious and usefUl publication of the kind that
has come under our observation. We are therefore
glad to learn that it is increasing rapidly in circula-
tion, and is duly appreciated by that numerous class
for which it is so well adapted. The passing of the
Tariffand the new Corn-law Bill render it of
more than usual importance this season. Among
the new tables will be found the import
duties on agricultural produce, imposed during the
last session, the aggregate average price of grain for
the last fourteen years, the periods of reproduction in
different animals, a list of the Acts of Parliament
relating to agr:ctt\ture passed in 1841-2, and a ready
reckoner for the Income-tax. The brief treatise
on the disc ases of live stock and their rknedies,
will be found useful to farmers in general, but chiefly,
to those in remote districts, where attacks of illness
