DEACON V. DEACON.

Mr. ilicar.n requested permission to give notice of a
motion for Monday in this case, in which an injunction
had been obtained against the Receiver on the 24th of last
month. The solicitor for the other aide caused a re-
port of the case to be inserted in the SUN EVEN-
ING PAVER, and circulated a great many of the News-.
papers in the town in which the Receiver resided.--
In consequence of this the Receiver laboured under se-
vere imputations, which he bad not yet had an opportunity
of refuting.—Leave granted.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.
SCOTCHMEN IN ENGLAND.
The Vicv.-CiraNcr.xxoa having directed that a case
should stand over until Monday next, in order that addi-
tional affidavits might be flied in it,
Mr. HORNE applied for a longer adjournment. The
solicitors by whom these affidavits must be prepared
are Scotchmen, said the learned Gentleman, and we
all know that Scotchmen have a conscientious objection
to doing any worldly business on Sundays. I fear,
therefore, that if the case comes on again on Monday,
they will not, consistently with their religious scruples,
have sufficient time to look over the papers necessary
for preparing the affidavits.
Mr. HART—How very scrupulous you think them.
Don't you read papers yourself on Sundays?—(A laugh.)
Mr. Hoaar—l3ut I am no Scotchman.
The VICE-CuANcrLLon—l believe, Mr. Horne, that
what you say must apply only to Scotchmen when they
are on the other side of the Tweed; when they come
amongst as they act in every respect like Englislunen. I
can't see any of those scruples among them here.—(A
laugh.)

Edward Dixon Pouchee, of Brydges-strect, and Louis
Pouchce, of the Stage Coach-office, Somerset-house, were
summoned before the Commissioners by a Reporter, for the
amount of reports furnished to a weekly publication called
the Enylish Gentleman, of which the defendants were
proprietors. The Reporter's claim amounted to about 41.
The defendants did not deny that he was entitled to that
sum, hat they denied their own liability, as neither of them
was the registered proprietor.

Edward Dixon Pouchee was first called, who simply de-
nieil his liability.
The Reporter said that he was convinced that the defen-
dants were the bona fide proprietors, and that they lurked
behind the shade, and put men of straw forward as the
ostensible proprietors, in order to evade the debts and other
responsibilities incident to a newspaper : it was a species
of swindling that ought to be exposed, and which no honest
man would resort to.
The COMMISSIONER apprehended, that unless the Re-
porter should adduce some evidence of Edward being a
proprietor, he could not fix his liability.
The Reporter said that he was not prepared with such
evidence at present, but he would have his. up again on a
future day.
Louis Pouchee being called appeared by Attorney, who
said that the Reporter might safely leave the matter entirely
to that gentleman's honour and Rose of justice.
The COMMISSIONER—WeII, on such conditions, we will
dismiss the case for the present. Other gentlemen may pride
themselves in not paying their tailors ; but the English
Gentleman alone can boast of not paying its Reporters.

NOISY Flsii.—M. Cuvier lately read a short
paper to the French Academy on the species of fish called
Pogonias, in which he particularly adverted to the noise by
which they make themselves heard, even under water.
However difficult the explanation of this phenomenon,
there can be no doubt of its existence ; the evidence of it
adduced by M. Cuvier being perfectly satisfactory. The
silurus, a large and ravenous fish which abounds in the
Danube, gives daily proof of it.—Literary Gazelle.
