DREADFUL ATTACK OK THE POLICE OF CARRICK-ON-SUIR.-,-
As the Poljce, stationed in Carrick-on-Suir, were, on Sunday
last, escorting to a Magistrate a man of the name 'of Gallvy, for
having in his possession several barrels of potatoes that were stolen
on the preceding night out of the house of James Rowe, they were
attacked by a desperate mob, with stones, some of which struck,
cut, and knocked down the Police who were executing the warrant
of a Magistrate at the time.— Clonmell Paper.
There is scarcely any gentleman in the country who has dope
more good to his immediate neighbours than Thomas Jackson, of
Millgrove, near Caher, Esq. But his unblemished character and
extensive benevolence could not screen him from the mur-
derer's threat, and the Rockites intended execution ; on Monday
last, a notice was left near his hall door, threatening him with the
same instantaneous death which was inflicted on John Barry, if he
did not turn away some men in his employment, respecting whom
he received, some time before,: one of the usual notices, signed
Captain Rock.—lbid.

BENEFIT OF Yoaxsltutz RoatNsow.7—The late brave but
unfortunate opponent of Young Gas took his benefit yesterday at
the Tennis Court, and received, as he deserved, a marked en-
couragement. The Court was crowded with amateurs of respecta-
bility,. and the highest satisfaction was expressed at the sports.
Among the exhibitors were Lennox and Clarke, Ike Dodd and
Fisher, Murphy, seu., and the Bristol Baker, Murphy, jun. and
Define, Gaynor and Holt, the latter of whom was severely
handled, Scroggins and Dick Ayres, Young Dutch Sam and
Castles, and, as a wind-up, Tom Spring anti Robinson ; the lat-
ter was a most finished specimen of first-rate science. Spring
was well received, and appeared to be in excellent health and
spirits ; there is some notion of his intending again to pitch his
tent among his old friends.—At the conclusion of the performance,
Robinson expressed his sincere gratitude for the very handsome
manner in which he had been received, and announced that he
should be ready on Monday night to make a match With young
Gas for 2001. a side, and would be at Tom Cribb's for that pur-
pose..---Wallace chewed, and exhibited marked symptoms of his
long and arduous struggle on the preceduig day.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.

THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. THE CORPORATION OF DUBLIN.
JUDGMENT.

Lord REDESDALE said that this was an information filed by his
Majesty's Attorney-General, for Ireland, on behalf of several house-
holders of Dublin, against the Corporation and Treasurer of the city
of Dublin, in consequence of an investigation which took place re-
specting rates and duties levied on the householders, for the purpose
of remunerating the Corporation for supplying water to the city of
Dublin. The question now for the consideration of their Lord-
ships, was whether the mode of proceeding adopted for the pur-
pose of compelling the Corporation to account for the rates and
duties according to the Act of Parliament relating thereto,
was the proper mode, or whether a different mode was
pointed out by the legislature. On looking into the notes of
the Lord Chancellor of Ireland, respecting the ground on
which he thought proper to dismiss this information,
he (Lord Redesdale) was of opinion that the Commissioners for
public accounts are not authorised to investigate any other accounts
than those which Government required for public purposes, and
that the accounts in question did not come under that description.
It appeared that the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland had taken upon
himself to order the Corporation of Dublin to account to the Com-
missioners of public accounts for the rates levied for the supply of
water, and the Commissioners having accordingly investigated them,
found a misapplication of the funds levied to the amount of 40,0001.,
in consequence of which the Attorney-General filed a bill in Chan-
cery to compel the Corporation, to the execution of that which
the Commissioners found ought to be done—namely, to refund the
defalcation. This was the proper mode of proceeding, whe-
ther the Crown, the two Houses of Parliament, or the Commis-
sioners, had investigated the accounts; for he (Lord Redesdale)
did not see how otherwise the Corporation of Dublin could be
compelled to remedy the evil. The complaint here was, that the
funds were not applied to the proper purposes, and the Crown had
a right to see that they should be applied to such purposes as the
Act of Parliament directed, namely, the extinction of a certain
debt. The only difficulty which he (Lord Redesdale) felt on
the subject was, how the Corporation could be compelled
to refund the deficiency. In cases of trusts for charitable
uses, the general funds of a Corporation were liable should
any part of the trust be misapplied; but whether the case
in question should be deemed analogous, and decided accordingly,
he wag not prepared to say ; he thought that that ought to be made
a matter of future consideration. Under all the circumstances.he
moved " that the order made by the Court of Chancery, in Ire-
land, in this case, be reversed, that the Attorney-General be di.
rected to re-investigate the accounts, and that the costs do await
the result.

The LORD CHANCELLOR adjourned the further consideration of
until Monday.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.
PRACTICE OF THE COURT.
WILLIAM V. GOODLAND.

The plaintiff in this cause is the Vicar of Hendon, and the
suit was instituted for the recovery of tithes.
Mr. BOTLER, on a former day, obtained an order, that the de.
positions taken in the cause of Williams and Goodchild should be
read as evidence in the present suit, saving all just exceptions.—
The Learned Gentleman then stated, that the object of bath suits
was the same, and that the defence in both was also similar,
namely, that the manor in which the premises were situate had
belonged to Westminster Abbey, and was therefore exempt from
the payment of tithes. The evidence in Williams and Goodchild
was directed to the proof of that single fact, and the present de-
fendant claimed exemption on the very same grounds.
Mr. DUCKWORTH appeared to-day for the purpose of setting
aside the order.
The Vwx-Citstictuott was decidedly of opinion that the
order was both irregular and unnecessary. Such orders, he ad-
mitted, were sometimes made very properly in cross causes, that
the parties might not be put to the expence of the double produc-
tion of the same witnesses. There were also other cases in which
such an order would be of great importance ; but, in the present
instance, the application ought to have been for the production
of the proceedings in the cause, and then the evidence might be
read from the bill and answer, and would be admissible in any
Court of Justice whatever.
In answer to an observation from Mr. BOTLER, his Howourt
said, that a great many abuses had crept into the practice of the
Court, which it was necessary to put an end to as soon as pos-
sible. What, for instance, was more common than for Counsel
to take orders in award cases, which it was impossible to carry
into effect. It was a mere waste of money.
His HoNoti it dismissed the order with costs.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH,
BAILEY AND OTHERS V. CIILVERWELL.

This was an action brought by the assignees of a bankrupt,
named Hal Ewell, against the defendant, who is a broker, to re-
cover the value of a number of beaver-skins, which the bankrupt
had sent to the defendant to sell for him. _ . .

The case having been proved, the Jury, under the direction of
the Learned Judge, returned a verdict for the plaintiffs, subject to
the opinion of the Court whether the skins should be estimated ac-
cording to their value at the time they came into defendant's pos-
session, or at their present value in the market.
