lIENDEBOURK V. LANGDON AND LANGLEY.

This Was a similar action to recover double the
sum of 1291. 16s. 10d., which should have been
rendered in October, 1828.
Lord TENTERDEN went out to consult the other
Learned Judges, who were sitting in the Bail Court,
and announced on his return that the whole of the
Judges were of opinion, that the present notice was
not sufficient to enable the plaint►ff to recover the
double penalty. He should not, however, stop the
trial, and they might go on for the single sum due.
The plaintiff in this cause was also nonsuited in
this and another which followed it.

SPORTING. -(RECEIVED THIS DAY.)

NEWMARKET CRAVEN MEETING.

NEWMARKET, FRIDAY NIGHT.

The races terminated this evening, after one of the
finest Meetings ever known. A cursory look at the
list of the various prizes will chew the spirit with
which the thing has been kept up, nearly all the races
having actually "come off," as it is termed, a circum-
stance not by any means common, as it is customary for a
great many of the stakes and matches to " go off" in for-
feite.—The town is still pretty full, it being quite impos-
sible to find post horses in sufficient number, although
every thing that bore the slightest resemblance to them
was put in requisition. The betting has not varied
much from our last quotations, the latest prices being :

The St. Leger not mentioned.

The First Spring Meeting commences en Monday week,
and will be little, if at all, inferior to the Craven ; the
entries are numerous, and the Stakes valuable and lin-

ortant.

]SARA Avis.—A butcher-bird was shot a
few days ago in the parish of Crowland, and was pur-
chased by Mr. MARFLEET, of that place, fur the purpose
of stuffing it.—The butcher-bird, from its carnivorous
appetite, is certainly a bird of prey ; it is about the size of
a blackbird ; when it has sncceeded in killing Its prey, it
hangs it upon a thorn, in the same manner as a butcher
would a carcass, and divides it with his bill : from this
circumstance it takes its name,—Drakard's Stamford
Nam

The aspect of commercial affairs in Grantham
is, we are sorry to acknowledge, by no means improving.
Every thing in business is dull and motionless as the
grave. We have no silk or cotton factories, or else our
condition would be' deplorable. The people generally ap-
pear to be convinced of this,—that Governmont must con-
cert some measures for the more efficient employment of
the poor, and that the overwhelming load of taxation by
which our bodies and spirits are now oppressed, must be
considerably diminished. If something is not done shortly,
we shall all become radical reformers, —Drakard's Stam-
ford News.

MR. BROWNLOW'S DILL.

the
A very erroneous idea having gone abroad pf
Bill intended to be submitted to Parliament by st.$t.
Brownlow, we have made inquiry on the subje!
and the following outline will convey to the general
reader a more correct notion of its tendency that'
has hitherto been entertained.
The main object of the Bill, if it shall pass into`
law, is to give facilities to the proprietors of O
claimed bogs to bring those extensive and unprofit'
able portions of the Irish soil into a state fittingf(r
the purposes of agriculture or pasturage, by ther-
snary and indispensable process of draining. lt hasbeej
already ascertained by engineers of acknowledrj.
eminence, that by far the greater proportion of thebufr
is so much above the level of the sea that the 01
obstacle to the removal of the stagnant waters is'gje
want of the power to procure an outlet for the d'
charge ; and to secure this power in all practical
cases is the main object of Mr. Brownlow's
moment's consideration will convince us that no vent
for stagnant waters can be had without infringing t°,
a certain extent on the territorial rights of ad.lace";
proprietors; to secure these proprietors from leo°
or improper encroachments, Commissioners are t
be appointed, with the power to receive evidenl
and to decide upon the best, speediest, en,
least vexatious mode of conveying the wl'te';
to their proper destination. The holders of th.
bogs must, in order to take advantage of the Pr°:v
sions of the Act, be proprietors, at the least (we 'we;
lieve) of one thousand acres. The Commissioners
are not to be, as has been supposed, a set of itiner6"..
Inspectors, but a stationary body, holding their SD,
tings and receiving evidence in Dublin, with pot'
to dispatch to any place they may suppose t° .„
quire it competent persons to make observations
the spot, and to report the result for their inforor
tion and guidance. The duties of the Conlir
sioners are all to be performed gratuitouslY•
he
above outline will go to prove that the object of t
Bill is at once just, possible, and useful; and that'
involves no expenditure of the national resource!!
nor places any corrupt patronage in the hands of a"11/
Government; in one word, that it is exempt 10
