eminent chemist, we have succeeded in purifying our material
so that acids do not affect it ; it is now so well known and
appreciated that it is universally superseding silver in all its
uses. The genuine metal, which is more durable than silver,

tenham, Lord Campbell, and the Bishop
of Chiehester•
•rtin KEY. JOHN FERC USSON'S EriEcuTons v. THE EARL OF
AUCIITERARDER CASE.
This me came before their Lord-hips upon appeal from the
decree of the Court of Session, confirming the judgment in an
action .brought by the respondent. 'Use facts of the 'ease,
which hare often been before the public, may be thus shortly
stated. In 1834 the parish church of Auchterarder having be-
come vacant by the death of the Rev. Charles Stewart, the Earl
of Kinnoul, as patron, presented the Rev. Robert Young
to the living, and thereby required the Moderator and the Pres-
bytery of Auchterarder to make trial of his qualifications to fill
the office, and if they found him fit to perform the duties, to
admit him to the office. Several meetings of the Presbytery
took place, and ultimately on the 7th of Jtr..y, 1835, they re-
fused to make trial of the qualifications of Mr. Young; upon
this that gentleman instituted proceedings against thePreshy-
tery in the Court of Session, and that Court declared that
Mr:Young had been legally presented to the ahurch of Auchter-
ardor, and that the Presbytery were bound to make trial of his
qualifications, and that their having refused to do so was an
illegal act. Sometime after this a memorial was presented.
to the Presbytery, stating • the judgment that had been pro-
nounced by the Court of Session, and asking them to make re-
paration for the injury they had inflicted, by admitting Mr.
Young. They still, however persevered in their determine-
lion not to make trial of his qualifications, stating as
' their season for doing so, that the majority of the male
heads of families, communicants in the parish, dissented
to his appointment. That . memorial
,svas presented by
the Presbytery of Auchterarder to she Synod of Perth
and Stirling, and by that Synod it was transmitted to the
General Assembly of the Church of Scotland. That As-
sembly upon consideration approved of the course adopted by
the Presbytery of Auchterarder, end dismissed the memorial
of Mr. Young. The case was then brought on before the
House of Lords, and that tribunal affirmed the judgment of
the Court of Session, finding that the Presbytery of Auchterar.
der had acted illegally in not admitting Mr. Young to that church.
After this decison another application was made to the Presbytery
to admit Mr. Young, but on their still refusing to do so, other
legal proceedings were taken, which ended in an order on the
Presbytery of Auehterarder to pay to the Earl of Kinnoul the
sum of 5,6001., and to the Rev. Mr. Young 10,0001., as da-
mages • and againstthat decision the present appeal was
brought, on :the behalf of the majority of the Presbytery of
Auchterarder.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL and Mr. PEstaeserosr, who Were
c-unsel for the appellants, contended that the proceedings that
had takers place in the Court below were perfectly novel, not
only in the history of Scotch law, but in that ofthe law of every
other nation, and that therefore it was not competent to bring
such an action as had been instituted, but that even if it was,
at all events no such action could be maintained unless there
was an averment and proof of express malice on the part of the
individual members of the Presbytery of Auchterarder, who
h.ti refused to tisk:: Mr. Young's qualifications into consideration.
The Solicitor-General and Mr. Stuart Wortley were counsel
for the respondent.

SHERIFFS' COURT, Jul!' 7.
FISHER AND OTHERS V. THE EARL OF DUNDONALD.
This was an action brought by the plaintiffs, who are the
executors of the late Mr. James isher, the eminent army
clothiers of Duke.street, St. James's, to recover of the defen-
dant the sum of 1451. 14s. 9a., with interest thereon from the
9th December, 1839.

Mr. Clifford, the solicitor for the plaintiffs, being sworn, de-
posed that he was instructed to apply to thedefendatit's solicitor
for the settlement of the account; as he could not obtain it he
applied to the noble defendant by letter on the 19th of last
March, requesting payment should be made with interest be-
fore the following Wednesday, and received an answer, dated
2, Victoria-square, Pimlico, 22d March, requesting him (the
witness) to stay the proceedings until the latter end of April
or beginning of May, as he (the defendant) could not sell sum,
stock in the French funds before that time. To the best of
his belief the letter is in the noble defendant's handwriting.
By Mr. Under-Sheriff BuucitELL—What interest do you
charge, 4 or 5 per cent. ? Witness—Five per cent., as the
debt has been standing so long.
The UNDER •SHEAIFF—You cannot do so legally; it is for
the Jury to consider whether they will give such a large amount.
The Jury deliberated for a few moments, and returned a
verdict for the amount claimed, with interest at 5 per cent.,
snaking 1571. 10s. Gd.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
OLD COURT
_ _

(Before Mr. Baron GURNEV. and Mr. Justice Nirluxams.)
TIE CASE OF r!TICIIOLAS SUlSSE.—Nicholas Suisse was
again placed at the bar yesterday. Previous to the reading of the
indictment,

Mr. ItiEsiGER applied, on the affidavit of Mr. Vim. Whit-
hall, the attorney; for the defence, to have the ease put off in
Consequence of the serious illness of an important witness,
who'e evidence was most material ; he alluded to Thomas
Foote, who had been a fellow-servant of the prisoner's in the
employ of the late most Noble Francis Charles Marquis of
Hertford. To the affidavit were annexed 'certificates from Mr.
T. Watsan, a physician, and Mr. T. Peter ?tiller, thy; surgeon
aud apothecary, who was examined yesterday. He (Mr. Thesiger )
after a consultation with his Learned Friends, had come to the
conclusion, very much against his own desire, that he could not
safely-proceed to trial without. the evidence of the said witness.
Mr. KELLY opposed the postponement on the ground that
the affidavit should have been put in yesterday.
Mr. Baron GURNEY granted the application, and the case
was postponed till the 24th of August next.
HIGHWAY ROBBERY BY A SOLDIER.-Thomas Robertson,
aged 21, and J. Patterson, aged 24, privates in the Ist bat-
talion of Scotch Fusilier Guards, were placed at the bar,
charged, the former with stealing from Mr. Edmund Lea one
watch, value 151., and the latter with feloniously receiving the
same, well knowing it to have been stolen.
Messrs. Phillips and Clarkson conducted the prosecution, and
the prisoners were undefended.
It appeared from the evidenCe that, as the prosecutor was
walking across Hyde-•ark, about half-past nine on the 28th
June last, a soldier, whom the prosecutor could not recognise,
accosted him, and accused him of having interfered with him
whilst with a girl. The prosecutor denied all knowledge of the
affair, and after some war& a tussle ensued, the prosecutor was
thrown on the ground twice during the scuffle, after which he
made his escape. He had not gone far, however, before he
ascertained that he had been despoiled of his watch. Robert-
son was observed to enter the barracks shortly after ten o'clock
on the night in question, and appeared to be in a great perspi-
ration. Ile showed the watch to several of his comrades and
said it had been given to him. Paterson was afterwa,ds seen
with the nate'', but there was no evidence to show that he was
aware the watch had been-stolen, nor was it pretended that
he had been near the spot.
The prisoners in their defence merely stated that they were
not guilty.
Captain Seymour, of the Scotch Fusiliers, gave both pri-
soners an excellent character.
Mr. BARON GURNEY briefly summer up, and the Jury after
a short deliberation, returned a verdict of "Guilty" against
Robertson, and acquitted Paterson.
Robertson was sentenced to be transported beyond the seas
for the term of 15 years.
Disc USTJNG CASE.-Thos. William • Neatherstreet, de-
scribed in the, calendar as " labourer, 19," but who did not
appear to be above 15 years of age, and was anintelligent looking
youth, was charged with feloniously assaulting, and carnally
knowing Esther Maskell, aged three years, on the 18th of June
last.

The child's ace precluded her &oat being examined
before the Court, but the case was fully made out by the
evidatee of the child's mother, and Mr. Davenport, a surgeon,
who, from an examination of the person of the child and the
prisoner, was perfectly convinced, in his own mind, that the
prisoner had effected his object. The prisoner, too, when
asked whet he had been doing, said that he had been doing
that which he ought not to have done; he was very sorry for
it, and if allowed to go would never do the like again.
Mr. Justice NVILLIASIS having summed up the evidence,
The Jury almost immediately returned a verdict of Guilty,
and the prisoner was sentenced to be transported beyond the seas
to such place as her Majesty, by and with the advice of her
Privy Council should direct, for the term of his natural life.

NEW COURT.
The Grard Jury having terminated their labours, the follow-
ing persons, the against whom had been ignored, were

and flourished it in theair. Witness thinking this was mere brava-
' vado, took no noticeof it. The companion dam prisoner took hold
of him by the hand. The prisoner still flourished the knife, and
the witness, t hinking that something serious might result, inter-
fered, and the prisoner immediately stabbed him in the breast.
The prisoner was given into custody, and witness went to the
hospital, where his wound was clre.sed The wound was not
serious.
A witness was called, who corroborated this evidence.
The prisoner denied the charge, and said that he had
no knife in his possession, and called a young man
who was with him, who stated that the prisoner had no knife in
his possession. Witness went with the prisoner to the station-
house, but the officer would not admit him to see his friend.
He was walking away when a person called Deaf Burke came
up to him and said that the person who had been stabbed was
his friend, and if the witness would pay 51. the matter would be
made up. Witne.s replied that if the prisoner thought proper
he might pay the money, and he (witness) would go and see
him about it, but the officer would not admit him to the sta-
tion-house. .
The former witness was then recalled, who persis'ed in
swearing that there was a knife in the hand of the prisoner
when the blow was struck.
Mr. HA LL fined the prisoner M., or in default of payment to
be committed to prison for one month, The

DR. REID'S LECTURES ON CHE-

MISTH Y.

THE ACTION OF AIR ON BODIES.
After some preliminary experiments upon colouring matter,
produced by the admixture of liquids, and the methods of stain-
ing the calico of our markets with its rich and multiform dyes,
Dr. Reid. in his lecture at Exeter-hall on Wednesday night,
chiefly dwelt on the action of air upon external surfaces. He
proceeded to show that in the same manner as on a grander
scale, the air circulates round the vast circumference of the
globe, from the pole to the equator, and thither again to the
pole—so it similarly wound itself about and pervaded ail other
' bodies, and especially, among others, the human frame. In its
more immediate action on the hod!, respiration was one of the pecu-
liar forms it assumed—a process by which every individual, in or-
dinary life, respired 820,000 times a day. Passing from this sub-
ject to the consideration of dry-rot, which arises from non-cir-
culation of a just quantity of pure air, thereby causing engen-
derment of carbonic acid, which fed by moisture, was the prime
creator of this species of decay, the lecturer made some interest-
ing observations on the subject. Dry-rot generally originated
in the roofs of buildings, in which there was no exit for air
above, and which causing the combination of carbon and
moisture as alluded to above, generated often that rich
serial manure in which plants and fungi were found
to thrive luxuriously. Dr. Reid exhibited several spe-
cimens of plants which he had collected, and which re-
ceived their nourishment in the manner indiCated. He
considered this air-formed compost so nutritious in its na-
ture, that even corn could be grown in it. It was the great
pabehini of dry-rot. Thus, but a day or two since, in
ascending to the roof of a church where dry-rot was believed
to exist, the lecturer saw that the very ladder itself from this
cause had decayed, and holding it between his fingers, made
it crumble to dust. By this destructive process, he knew
fora fact that at this instant roofs were giving way, paintings
wete being destroyed, libraries were decaying, in consequence
of the large accumulations of carbon in those places—evils
.shish proper ventilation, or the slightest direction of a current
of air through the apartment, would have obviated, or the
simple application of one or two medical specifics. Diagrams
and explanations of the air-pump, with the forms and Fes-
sures of the atmosphere, concluded the lecture.
