Farewell to all•=farewef—l've felt
That word hang on my heart ;
When fore'd from aught I loved or knew,
In Went gee(' to part !

- .
Bt.t these were days, now paned away,
When life wag sweet and'new;

And when my fond and guileless heart
Would melt to b:d adieu!
And these are days we cannot prize,
Till riper years have shewn,
That with our boyish feelings dies,
Whate'er of bliss we've known !
And these were days when my young hopes
Look'd forward with desire,
To scenes that sear'd my life of life,
And bade those hopes expire!
I've seen some years, but yet mine eye
Is nut of light bereft;
I've hid my carer, yet o'er my brow
A few dark locks are left !
I've fili'd up Pleasure's madd'ning cup,
TiU it bath overflown;
And now, wherever Fortune leads,
'Ti, something that I've known !
I've felt enough of Friendship's breath,
To know how long it lives;
And tasted deep enough of love,
; 'To tell of all it gives !
1.•
I've held them both with extasy,
To this bigh-thrubbing breast ;
Vntil the o'ercltarg'd sense was cluy'd
By their too luscious taste! •
A•latok not for a sigh from one,
_. Of all I leave behind ;
.Nnr bath mine eye a drop to shed,
AFor aught of humankind !
Now lightly I can sarfavessal,
To all I lov'd or haw ;
Regardless, though that parting word
.Should sound our last adieu!

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JUNE 27.
DENTON V. ICING.
The plaintiff is a ship-owner at Sunderland, the de-
fendant a timber-merchant at Limehoun. Mr. King
had chartered the plaintiff's ship Hercules to New
Brunswick, for a cargo of timber ; and this action was
brought to recover the balance of freight unpaid. It
appeared that the Captatn had cut eighty pieces of the
eimber for the convenience of stowage,- and the pay-
ment of the freight was resisted, on the ground of the,
ury which the timber had sustained by being so cut.'
injury which the timber had sustained by being so cut.
Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 2321. being the ba-
lance unpaid.
JONES V. STEEL.

This was an action to recover 1401. with interest from
the time it was lent. Mrs. Jones, the plaintiff, had
agreed to lend the defendant 3001. and had in the first
instance lent only 1401. some time after Mr. Steel made
an application by letter for the remaining 1601. and
proposed to give security for the whole. The case
turned upon this letter, which was without date or ad-
••dress, and consequently there was some difficulty in
proving it.
• Mr. Scaiu.zre, for the plaintiff, called several witnesses; and
Mr. Ancsarnos addressed the Jury in reply.
Mr. Justice Lsrruinxix summed up.
?indict for the plaintiff—Damages £l4O, without interest.
•• • COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JUNE 117.
COUNT DE LA PASTURE O. OAST HUNTER.
This was an action brought by the plaintiff, to re-
cover compensation in damages, for the value of a
horse, which was sold him by the defendant's agent,
and which proved to be unsound.
Mr. Se ''east Vanessa; conducted the plaintirs ease, and Mr.
Se ''oat au the difendant's.
1t appeared that the horse was purchased under a
verbal warranty of soundness, and two notes which
-were written by the defendant to the plaintiff on the
subject, confirmed this fact. Some little time after
the purchase, the animal was discovered to be unsound,
having one of his heels contracted, and an applica-
tiba was made to the defendant, stating the circum-
stance, requesting him to return the purchase-money
(731.) and take back his horse. The defendant re-
.fused to refund the purchase-money, and• declined re-
-ctiiring the horse back again, which gave rise to the
present action. In addition to the price given for the
'horse, the plaintiff sought to recover a sum of money
for its keep, at the ram of Sc. 6d. a day.

COURT OP ARCHES, JUNE rt.
• BALL V. EA,L.L. •
In this case an allegation .exceptive to the credit o
Ann Tuppen, a witness examined on the part of Mrs
41a11,.t0 prove as fact of adultery between Mr: Ball and
Ann 'Perry was brought in, but its admission was ob-
. jetted to on the ground:pf its lateness. After publica-
tion of the evidence (the Learned Counsel contended) a
ganeral objection to the credit of a witness is not admis-
sible, because that objection should be made before pub-
lication. It is true that this allegation does not go to
the general credit of the witness, but only to her
credibility in this case, on account of some malicious
expressions which 'she had used against-Ann Perry, with
whom she had had a quarrel, and threatened to be re-
venged on her ; but then it must be considered that the
objection conies not only after publication, but after
sentence in the Court below; it is, therefore, doubly
suspicious ; and it professes to be founded on expres-
sions used in a casual conversation with a watchman, be-
tween five and six years ago, expressions which the
Conic cannot, at this distance of time, believe to be re-
membered with any accuracy.
There were other matters in the exceptive allegation
which were not pressed; 'but in regard to the expres-
sions attributed to Ann Ttsppen, the Ceurt thought the
plea admissible, though late, as there was an affidavit of
Mr. Ball's deposing that the fact of such expressions
having been used by her wasvoviteradmotitiant Fenix.

Accordingly this part of the exceptive allegation was admitted!
