TILE EARL OF EGMONT'S CLAIM.

Counsel were heard, and witnesses examined on behalf of

Representative Peers for Ireland.
Their Lordships, at the conclusion of the evidence, re-
solved that the Noble Earl had made out his claim. —Claim
allowed.

• THE EARL OF SHANNON'S CLAIM.

- -
Their Lordships came to a similar resolution with respect to
the claim of the Earl of Shannon, after hearing Counsel and
witnesses.

BARONY OF FITZWALTER.

This care came before their Lordships upon the claim of Sir
Brooke William Brydges to the barony of Fitz waiter, which
was created in the reign of Edward the First, in the year 1295.
The first Baron was the grandson and heir of Robert Fitzwal-
ter, who was called the Marshal of the Army of God and
Holy Mother Church, was chief of the confederated Ba-
rons who ,obtained Magna Charta from King John, and
was one of the twenty-five Barons appointed to enforce
its observance. In 1756 the barony fell into abeyance,
and during the late reign, Sir Brooke William Bridges,
Bart., presented his petition, claiming the barony, as only co-
heir to Jeminia Duke.

Counsel were heard, and witnesses examined, up to two
o'clock, at which hour, the further consideration of the claim was
adjourned.

ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

The Court was engaged throughout the day with consent
petitions and short causes, which were set down,in the paper to
be spoken to. They were devoid of interest.

VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)

His Honour Vice-Chancellor Bauci sat to-day in the Judi-
cial Committee of the Privy Council.
(Before Vice-Chancellor WIG RAM. )
His Horroua gave judgment this morning in the cause of
Bourne v. Bourne, which was wholly devoid of general in-
terest. The cases which came before the Court were all of a
merely technical character.

(Before Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN and a Common Jury.)

THE EGLINTOUN TOURNAMENT-ATKINSON V. ORCIIART-',.

The parties in this case are both well known makers of mar-
quees, tents, &c., which it is part of their business to let out on
hire for fetes champetres, fancy fairs, and other open-air enter-
tainments. In August, 1839, the defendants having
undertaken to supply the required camp equipage
to Mr. Pratt, who had the entire management of the arrange •
ments in that respect for the celebrated tournament at Eglin-
ton, which was to take place in that month, hired for three
weeks. at the rate of 101. per week, a very large marquee from
the plaintiff. In consequence of the unfavourable weather
which prevailed during the time of the fete, and the consequent
expediency which was found to arise of using the marquee some-
what differently from the purpose to which it was designed, and
making it a cover for a temporary erection, the canvass was
cut, the poles broken, and other damage done, which caused
the defendant to keep it in his possession, for the purpose of re-
pairs, a fortnight longer than the time at first agreed on. De-
fendant paid 30/. for the hire, insisting that the marquee was
hired for the job, and not by the week, although three weeks
was mentioned as the prohable.time the marquee would.be de-
tained. _

The action was brought to recover 201. for the extra two
weeks, and 371. for the damage done by the improper use of the
tent, and the loss of some of the ornaments.
The defendants paid 5/. into Court for the alleged damage.
The evidence on both sides was that of persons in the em-
ployment of the parties, the servants of the plaintiff declaring
strongly that the damage was moderately assessed in the decla
ration, and those of the defendant, on the contrary, affirming
that the usage of the trade was against the defendant's claim
for the additional hire, and that the damage done was no mere
than fair wear and tear, such as all articles of the kind were
liable to, and for which it was not customary to make any charge,
The Jury found for the plaintiff—Damages, 25/.

COMMON PEAS-(THAS DAY.)
(Sittings at Guildhall, before Mr. Justice ERSKINE, and a
Common Jury.)
The Court disposed of a number of undefended actiong
which had no public interest.

who were engaged four days in finding the barge, one in rais-

whom she had been hired by plaintiff. There was a further
charge for the loss of the cargo, and the cost of the repairs,
which made up the amount laid in the declaration. The wit.
nesses for the plaintiff swore to the justice of all the claims, anal
the reasonableness of the charges.
The case for the defence was,. that 30i; Wits amply sufficient

Several witnesses, who were accustomed to employment on
the river, gave evidence to the effect that in their judgment

barge, and that 201. was more than enough to cover all the rest
of the damage.
The Jury found for the plaintiff, damages 51, ttbm:o the 301.
