LAW REPORTS.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Jux2 23.
BOUVZILIE V. MILES.

This was an action by a gentleman residing in the Haymarket
against the surveyor of pavements, for throwing down some iron
rails which the plaintiff had erected on the pavement, in front of his
house. The question, which arose under the act of the 67th Geo.
3, c. 29, was, whether the Commissioners and Surveyor of pave-
iments had a right to remove any_ rails or other projections which did
not extend over the footway. The rails in question stood on a line
with the other homes, and formed no obstruction to the footway ;
but at the trial, Lordi Tenterden was of opinion that the power
given to the Commissioners by the Act of Parliament was absolute,
and that under that power they had a right to remove any projec-
tions which they might consider to be obstructions; and his Lord-
ship, therefore, directed a nonsuit.
The case having been argued last week on a rule nisi to set aside
the nonsuit, and enter a verdict for the plaintiff,
Lord TENTERDEN now delivered the judgment of the Court,
stating that their Lordships were of opinion that the power given
by the act was limited, and that the case did not come within the
scope of the act. They, therefore, ordered the rule to be made
absolute, and a verdict to be entered for the plaintiff for a shilling
damages.

HAYMARKE I' THEATRE.

Last night was performed at this theatre, Shakspeare's most
excellent comedy Mach Ado about Noth:ny, which sounds as true
to our modern ears as the coin of most virgin gold that ever issued
from the mint of good Queen Bess. Miss Monlaunt performed the
part of Beatrice, and, but for a little langour in her demeanour,
which seemed to proceed from indisposition, we should say the cha-
racter had never been more worthily supported. Miss Moe.
daunt's natural air and expression are excellently well adapted
to the personation of this witty and wayward nymph. In Mr.
Cooper's Benedick there was, as in most of that gentleman's
efforts, much to admire, and not a little to wish corrected. He
means well, and conceives well, but seems unable so readily to do
well. The actor is rather too apparent in his efforts, and he
has not yet acquired that indispensable art in his profession of
throwing off his sentences and speeches freely, trippingly, and
naturally, and unaccompanied with any portion of the drawl of
recitation. Nevertheless, there was much spirit and lightness in his
Bettedick, especially in the latter scenes. Farren performed Dog-
berry—but, though excellent, it was not, in sooth, that Do!,berry.
Mr. Farren looked infinitely too clever, and delivered his stultifica-
tions with too much precision and propriety of voice and accentua-
tion. Sir Peter Teazle could not have been more correct. The
thing was comic, to be sure—exceedingly amusing—but, in justice
to the worthy individual whom Will Shakapeare drew, we cannot
write Mr. Farren down en ass. The other characters of the piece
were performed sufficiently well to enable it to pass agreeably. The
farce of The floppiest Day of my Life followad, in which Mr.
Webster took Liston's part, and exerted himself very much ; but
the soul of the piece lodges in the body, wherever that may be, of
the former gentleman.

REGATTA ON THE OUSE.

On Tuesday a boat-race took place on the river Ouse, from Na.
burn Lock to the Welhouse on the New Walk. The match was
between the Officers of the 3d Light s, and a party of
Gestlemen of York. Previous to startil:rgarwhole party partook
of an elegant collation at Nahum Hall, the residence of Thomas
Barstow, Esq. and at two o'clock the boats started. The York
Gentlemen's boat took the lead, but was soon passed by that of the
Oaken, who won the race by two minutes and a half. The day
was extremely unfavourable, the rain falling heavily the whole
time.

HOUSE OF LORDS, Jun* 23.

COLIMITTEE OF PRIVILEGES—THE LITFORD PEERAGE.
Some evidence having been given in this case on a former day,
the Earl of Harrowby and Viscount Lorton were this day exii.
mined. Their Lordships stated that they had known the late Lord
Lifford for thirty years, and that the claimant was his eldest son.
The committee resolved that Lord Lifford had made out bis
claim to vote at the election of representive peers for Ireland.

THE POYNE PEERAGE.
Some further evidence having been given in this case by the Es 1
of Charleville and others,
The committee resolved that the claimant had established his
right to vote at the election of representive peers for Ireland.

THE ILOO34IRLD PEERAGE.
Evidence having been given respecting this claim before a com-
mittee of privileges in 1826, when the further consideration of it was
adjourned until this day.
Sir Wm. Betham appeared at the bar to prove the identity
of'Sir Benjamin Bloomfield, u it was on the grounds of the absence
of such proof that the case had been on the former occasion ad.
joumcd.
The LOAD CHANCELLOR observed, that it WAS unnecessary to
prove the identity on this occasion. The patent set forth that the
title had been conferred on Sir Benjamin Bloomfield : when
be came to exercise any act in his right as a peer, then was his
time to show that he was Sir Benjamin Bloomfield. The real
cause of the case having been adjourned was this. By the Act
of the union with Ireland, it is competent foe the Crown to create
an Irish peer for every three that are extinct, and a peerage is to be
considered extinct for that purpose, if not claimed by any perms
within 12 months after the decease of the person last in the enjoy.
ment of the dignity, and the creation of a new peerage until twelve
months after three become extinct is to be considered mall and void.
At the period of the creation of the Bloomfield there bad
been three extinct, and 12 months had expired alisT the Lath of the

to the Caucasus, the news, that after aseithious exertions, General
J'Engcll.ault had discovered in the mountains of the C.l.lc3sus, 120

c:ee, which fixes the 16th of May for the opening, aid the 16th of

ANCONA, Await. 10.

It was reported yesterday, that the Dey of Algiers, intimidated
by the tumatnents of the French Government, has declared himself
ready to render satisfaction. However, as his former conduct has
rot been such as to inspire confidence In his promises, he most pre.
bably only wishes to gain time. We doubt very much that this
circumstance can at all change the plans of France. According to
a report, but scarcely probable, this Government has proposed to
Lord Cochrane to take a part in the expedition to Algiers.
This mistake must arise from the negotiations existing between
the Spanish government and this admiral on the subject of a corn.
mand in the African sea. The weakness and the few resources of
the Spanish navy would allow of some reliance being placed on this
report ; but it remains to see whether the Lord who, from want of
military resources, nearly compromised his reputation in Greece,
will run again a similar risk. We are assured that the Court of
Naples is disposed to support, with its troops and those of the other
Italian islands, and particularly Sardinia, the pretensions of Spain
to its former possession in Africa, and it might be in such a ease
that Lord Cochrane would wait the result of the efforts made by the
Neapolitan Cabinet, and would accept the command, were sufficient
means of action put at his disposal ; if not to attain completely the
end which Spain purposes, at least to save his naval reputation and
his private interest.
One may ask if England, following the principles which it has
proclaimed, would view with indifference foreign vessels of war em-
ployed under the Spanish flag against the independent states of
Amelia', or if the coalition of Spanish, Neapolitan, and Sardinian
vessels, could be considered as a Spanish expedition.--Gaartte de
France.

Common sense, justice, and good policy would say, certainly not
otherwiee. It mattered little as to appearances or pretences ; the!
British Government had a duty to perform, and they did not shrink I
from its avowal, believing it to he strictly just and right. The Por-
tuguese refugees had notice not to land at Terceira, anti the only'
other question was, was the government of this country justified in
preventing it? He contended that under all the circumstances it
was, whatever might be said by the text writers ow the subject.
Fraud and evasion were practised in this case, and the government
was not to be hoodwinked out of their duty. This country, to use
the language of Mr. Canning, was not to be made the workshop of
the intrigues of any state in Europe. The great object of this
country to preserve was peace. and to enable us to afford a refuge
to the oppressed of all countries, as we had done on every occa-
sion. (Cheers.)
Mr. STANLEY rose amid loud cries of " Question," and at
considerable length defended the motion of his right hon. friend
(Mr. C. Grant.)
Mr. HUSKISSON said that the conduct of this country in the
case of Terceira was at total variance with the laws of nations, and
feeling so, he must support the motion of his right hon. friend (Mr.
C. Grant.)—(Cries of " Question, question.")
Mr. C. GRANT replied.
Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, when a division took

Paris, April 15, 1830.

Gentlemen,—The intelligence lately brought to Toulon and to
your port, by several vessels arriving from the Levant, that Me.
hemet Ali Pacha, of Egypt, has sent an army to subdue Tripoli
and Tunis, may prove prejudicial to your communications with Af.
rim I hasten to inform you that the official correspondence I have
received from Alexandria and from Caito makes no mention of such
a rcport ; and the despatches from the Consul.Ocncral do not per.
mit me to believe that an expedition against the Barbary regencies
is thought of in Egypt. I now again take occasion to confirm the
contents of my despatch to you of the 24th of March, rczartling the
actual state of cur situation with the coast of Africa.'

THE CAT AND THE BOOT;
Or, An Improvernsnt upon Mirrors.
AS l one morning shaving sat.
For dinner-time preparing,
A dreadful howling from the cat
Set all the room a staring
Sudden I turn'd--beheld a scene
I could not but delight in ;
Fur in n:y boot, so bright and clean,
The Cat her face was fighting.
Bright was the boot—its surface fair,
In lustre nothing lacking ;
I never saw one halt so clear,
Except by Warren's Blacking.
(Watren ! that name shall last as long
As beaux and belles shall dash on,
Immortalized in every song
That chaunts the praise of fashion.
For, eh ! without his Blacking, all
Attempts we may abolish
To raise upon our boots at all
The least of jet or polish.)
Surpris'd, its brilliancy I vicw'd
With silent admiration ;
The glass that un the table stood
%l axed dimly in its station.
I took the boot, the glass displac'd,
Fur soon I was aware,
'Pie latter only was disgracq
lla:neer the boot was near.
And quickly found that I could shave
Mitch better by its bloom,
Than any mirror that I have
Within my drawing-room.
And since that time, I've often smil'd
To think how Puss was frighten'd.
When at the boot she mad and toil'd,
By Warrea's Blacking brighten'd.

Ma.Ow EN.... IVo were induced, from a duty to
the public, to attend Mr. Ow EN 's introductory Sunday
Morning Lecture a fortnight since, to ascertain what
was its character, and probable tendency upon society,
and found it not only harmless, but amusing. There
was a very full and respectable assemblage ; and upon
no public occasion did we observe greater decorum, or
the appearance of more intense interest on the part of
the hearers. The discourse evidently came from the
heart of the lecturer • and, at the conclusion, Brea:
numbers flocked round Mr. Ow EN to expres their,
satisfaction. We cannot at present attempt an analysis,
or even an outline of the proceedings: Mr. Ow Ws
system of philosophy, his good intenticns, and his
universal plan of benevolence, are all well kuown.
Wo may add, however, with reference to the discourse.
which we heard, that there was a desire amongst the
persons assembled to greet the lecturer with an un-
equivocal mood of applause; but Mr. Ow Ex, by a
manner peculiarly his own, and which decidedly in
dicated his ‘vislies, pot a stop to any such demonstration
of feeling. The last Sunday's lecture, we !earn, was
equally well %tteaded and received.

SELT-ACCUSATION Or MUILDER--Yestertlay morning a fe.
male named Sarah Elizabeth li* ennsurs was brought before Mr.
Roozas, by police-officer 43 11.
The officer stated that on the preceding evening lie taw the pri.
boner in llagnigge 'Wells road, with sonic other women ; she was
telling the women she had drowned her son, and she intended to go
and drown herself In the same pond. Witr.ess went to her, and site
persisted in saying she had drowned her son, but would not tell
where the pond was. Witness took her into custody.
The muter of the boy, a chimney-sweeper, named Johnson, de.
Ethat the boy went away with his mother on 3londay evening zdand he had not seen him since ; the boy ought to sleep in his
house every night. The boy was about eight years of age, and of
diminutive stature.

The prisoner gave a rambling account of her haring been u.
'suited by another woman, and on the previous night she did no:
know what she had said to the police. Her son was in the City.road.
Mr. Hussain, the inspector, Laid he had sent an officer to the
address the prisoner had given, in the City-road, but they knew
nothing of the boy ; the officer had then made inquiries all over the
City.road, but could gain no tidings of him.
The ➢lagistrate ordered the prisoner to be removed and lucked up.
and directed the officer to make farther inquiries.

WORSHIP-STREET.

Monday night, about ten o'clock, thi unfortunate 11Irs. Sloan ap-
plied to Mr. BROUGHTON for advice under the following circum-
stancev:

She stated that she was the mother of five children by Mr.
Sloan, two of whom were now living with her husband, Mr.
Sloan ; the eldest, a fine boy thirteen years of age, the other
six years; she had not been permitted to see either of them
for two years, and she understood that the youngest was now
In an ill state of health. She had frequently applied to Mr.
Sloan to be allowed to use them, but was invariably refused, and
treated with the greatest insolence; she bad endeavoured to tooth
him by every persuasive means, but to no purpose ; his cruelty to.
wards her made her fearful of making any further application with-
out some person being present to protect her, and particularly after
the late proceedings at this office, during which his ill usage to her
had been so publicly exposed.
Mr. BROUGHTON said she was certainly a very injured woman,
and he would be most happy to render her every assistance in his
power ; under any circumstances, he thought a mother ought not to
be deprived of seeing her children ; it was an act of extreme cruelty,
and he hoped, by a proper representation of the case, that Mr. 'Slam
would not persevere in his refusal.
Mrs. Sloan (in tears)---ifh! sir, i have no hopes without magis-
terial assistance. I do not want to take away my children from him,
I only want one sight of them, it is not an unjust request; and if it
were, surely a mother's feelings might plead a sufficient excuse.
Mr. BROUGHTON—Are the children at his residence in Noble.
street, or in Argyle-street ?
Mrs. Sloan-1 believe they are in Argyle-street. and I should
have applied to a magistrate in that district, but did not like to dc
so without first consulting you, Sir, who have already espoused in,
unfortunate MC so warmly.
Mr. BaouGHTox—lf you think proper to apply to any other
magistrate, I can certainly have no objection ; but I cannot attempt
to promise what success you will meet with. I: is a point of law
which magistrates arc not accustomed to interf. ; but there will
be no harm In your trying : it will at least afFer(l you satisfaction.
In the mean time, I would endeavour to win yi,Lr husband, for such
I must still call him, by persuasion, to let you si .•s our children.
Mrs. Sloan thanked Mr. Broughton for his kindness, and retired.

NEW TELLLS.......CASHELL V. HOLMES.
- " _

The ATTOkNEY-OENERAL moved to set aside the verdict for
the plaintiff in this case, and enter a nonsuit. The action was tried
in Sussex. The plaintiff had been employed to convey a quantity
of bullion and specie, amounting in value to 221,0001. from South
America to London. He met with bad weather in the Channel, and
put into the port of Arundel. The treasure was there unshipped,
and put on board another vessel. The Commissioners of the port
and harbour demanded 7501. for dues, and seized one of the chests
of silver until they were paid. The plaintiff paid the money under
a protest, and brought this action to recover back the excess which
it was contended the Commissioners had taken. The question
turned upon the terms of an Act of Parliament, which gave the
Commisedoners certain dues upon the precious metals imported into
the part of Arundel.
The COURT suggested that the question might come for argu.
meat in the form of a special case, and that course was adopted.

BRIGGS G. JOHNSON.

Mr. BROM:MAD' moved to set aside the verdict given for the
plaintiff for 1001. damages, on the round of a misdirection of the
Judge, and also that it was a verdict against evidence. It was an
action for maliciously, and without probable cause, imprisoning the
plaintiff. The cause was tried at York, before Mr. Justice Parke.
It appeared that an insolvent person, named Wigglesworth, had
been accused of fraudulently removing his goods. The plaintiff, on
suspicion of rendering his assistance, was taken into custody. The
learned counsel now contended that the evidence proved probable
cause for taking the plaintiff to prison, and that the verdict could
not stand.

The Court granted a rule to show cause.
GILL V. WATERHOUSE.

This cause was tried at Warwick. Itwas an action against a
common carrier for not delivering a parcel containing gold watches,
sent from Coventry to Liverpool, to be forwarded to Aberdeen.—
The parcel was lost.
The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for the value of the
watches.
Dlr. Bnoutiiiest now moved to set aside the verdict, on the
ground of a misdirection on the part of the Judge, who left the
Jury to say, whether the plaintiff had known of a notice in the de-
fendant's coach.office, wherein he refused to be answerable for any
parcel above the value of 51., unless specially paid for.
The Court held that the direction was not objectionable, and re.
fused to disturb the verdict.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Arm 28.
BROWN v. WINDSOR.

Sir W. Own)/ appeared to move for a rule to show cause why
the verdict in this case should not he set aside, and a nonsult en-
tered, or a new trial granted. It was an action to recover damages
for the injury done to the plaintiff's house by the defendant exca-
vating a cellar, and was tried before Mr. Justice Goulburn, at the
last (heat Sessions for Cardigan. The Jury found for the plaintiff;
damages 501. The circumstances of the case were shortly these :
The houses of the parties adjoin, and the defendant, who is a
wine and spirit merchant in Cardigan, excavated a cellar for the
purposes of his business, which the plaintiff alleged was the
cause of several acts of damage io his house. The plaintiff's house
was built some years after that of the defendant's, and rested on the
gable end of his house. Under these circumstances the Learned
Judge doubted whether the action was maintainable, and gave leave
to the learned counsel to make this motion, the ground of which was
that it was the duty of the plaintiff; being cognizant of what the
defendant was about, to secure his own premises by shoring, or
any other necessary means. The plaintiff lived in his house the
whole time the alteration was going on, and was fully aware of all
that was taking place. Under the circumstances the learned coun-
sel submitted, on the authority of the case of l'aton v. the Mayor of
London (9 Barnewell and Cresswell, page 725), that it was the duty
of the plaintiff to secure his house, and therefore that the verdict
must be quashed. There was also another ground for the motion,
of some informality in the pleading, which the learned counsel was
going on to argue at some length, when he was stopped by
Mr. Baron Gaanow, who said there must be a rule to show
cause,
.to enable the court to see the Learned Judge's notes.—Rule
granted.
The Court rose at three o'clock.

ERRATUM.
In the letter of "AN OCCASIONAL CORRESPONDENT," which
4Peartil in TILE STAR of Saturday last, the following passage
bhould read thus :—" But from some cause of causes Mr. Mows
siEsot. has acquired a moral influence out of the doors of Puha.
nient which must make him quite sick of the twaddle within it :
he cannot be expected therefore to risk the popularity, which he has
Acquired against all forms of opposition, in idle declamation and
•:ifort to Parliament as at present constituted. He has a larger num.
scr." ale. &c.

k appears that the son of Mr. Wellesley has done more
:Ilan his father's money and zeal, and all the big wigs at
'4 Chancery bar, could accomplish : he has defeated the
unnatural judgment of the Ex-Chancellor, confirmed by
14 Lord Chancellor Lyndhurst, by which the father was
separated from his children. This has been effected sim-
ply by little Wellesley's running away from his guardian's
to his fathr:r's house, which he found open to receive him.
Ile was taken before the Chancellor, and ordered into the
''are of Mr. Courtenay, whom, however, he shortly after
;are the slip, and again returned to his father's. It is
now settled he is to remain there during the holydays
that is to say, the long arguments, consumption of public
`law, and elaborate judgments, are all to go for nought.
The power of Chancery is as a broken reed when opposed
to the wilfulness of a schoolboy ! Who did not feel, long
ago, that the principle it was endeavouring to establish
was a rotten one ? It was opposed to Nature, and could
not stand the test of time. Verily this young gentleman
gives promise of making a very efficient Muter in Chan-
..fry.--Bucks Gazette.

INHABIFANTS OF THE ISLAND OF CUBA.

The flattering picture which this fortunate island presents, the
melt of your loyalty and good sense, cannot but irritate the revolu.
tioniste of the adjacent continent, who look with anger and envy
l"' NI prosperity and wealth, whilst they are bowed down by
poverty and anarchy, the Inevitable consequences of their revolt.
This happy land, the abode of peace, plenty, and loyalty, presents
to the world a striking contrast, enjoying under the mild govern.
❑ent of the King all the blessings which spring from security and
property, the uninterrupted progress of the arts, education, and
science, whilst revolutions, factions, discord, and anarchy, have este.
iAislied their empire in the revolted provinces ; and their natural
consequt nee has been immorality, licentiousness, and wretchedness,
induced by this state of disorder, and, since the malcontents have
pared nn means or efforts to disturb your repose, they have not found
it difficult to allure to their faction some of the inhabitants of this
eland.

Some of them, ungrateful for the hospitality they have here re-
..ived, and others, who were unsuspicious, have been misled by fal-
I vciuw, theories, ignorant of the irresistible arguments founded upon
the shAile comparison between the state of refinement and propriety
ot the ever-faithful island of Cuba, and the deplorable state of the
sirscc the moment of its separation from the paternal go-
vernment of his majesty ! Madmen I—All men of sense in this
&viand are faithful to the king our master, from affection, gratitude,

they hold the only guarantee which secures its well-being, and that
thotby which severs these sacred bonds will ba the last day of the
LaPpioet and even the existence, of Cuba.
Tht ritiiculcus conspiracy, which could only Lave proved dim-
serous to the malcontents themselves who projected it, is discovered
