money and interest. But, whatever was the actual fact
as to the merits, it wis clear that upon the face of the
documents, the legal estate was in the defendant; an
that he could set it tipi oven against the equitable claihr
of the plaintiff'! lessor. To prevent his doing so, and to
afford an opportunity of ascertaining the just rights-of
the parties the Court had, last Easter Term, made a rule,'
ordering the defendant not to set up his )egal estate in
answer to this action, if it should appear that the plain-
tiff's lessor was entitled to possession. Upon this rule,
the cau.e was brought to issue, and the record carried
down for trial at the last Assizes for the county of Dor-
set. It was entered for trial, and stood second on the,
list, when the Attorney for the plaintiff applied to the,
defendant's Attorney, and desired him to admit the
Rule of Court before referred to; he having, inadvert-
ently, neglected to provide himself with it from the
Rule Office in Lon.ton. The defendant's Attorney de-
clined entering into any admission whatever; and the
plaintiff's Attorney thereupon withdrew the Record,
from an alleged apprehension that, in the absence of
thin Rule,. the legal estate might be set up against his
client, and might defeat the justice of the case. Mr.
Barstow now, upon the ordinary affidavit, (stating the
notice of trial, and the failure of trial according to that
notice), moved for the usual costs of the day ; leaving,
it for the plaintiff's Counsel to apply to the Court if he
sliould think- fit, and move to deprive the defendant of
his Costs.—Rule granted.
COUB,T OF COMMON PLEAS, NOV. so.
SCOTT V. BYE.
In this case a debt of fifty-one shillings had been re=
covered in the Court of Requests ; and a writ of false
judgment was sued out and made returnable in the
Court of Common Pleas, where the matter was argued
at Considerable length.
The CHIEF JUSTICE this day delivered the judgment
in 'the case, which was, that a Court of Common Law
had no jurisdiction -over the decisioris of the Court of
Requests, which, in the statute by which it was consti-
tuted,.was called a Court of Equity. His Lordship ex-
pressed great satisfaction that the Court had no juris-
diction in the case, as otherwise litigious parties would
defeat the benevolent intention of the Legislature in
tastituting the Court of Requests, by appealing to
Courts of Law.

The rest of the Judges of the Court easseurred in this opinion.

This forenoon we received the Moniterr of Saturday
and Ltoile of yesterday, by Express; the Paris Journals
of Thursday and Friday having previously ;reached us,
Friday the KING transacted business with the Baron de
DA MAlt, Minister for Foreign Affairs. Addresses of
congratulation still continue to pour in to CHARLES X
who appears very studiously to lose no opportunity of
ingratiating himself with the people.
The Moditenr contains accounts from Madrid, of the
Bth instant, stating, that the Government is very active
in organizing an army to replace the French troops,
vhich be •-ithdra' The C' it of Castile

Atch are to . wig :ern. .ne Connell is
said .to have represented to the Kilda the imminent
danger likely to accrue if the French troops evacuate
Madrid; and yet, in the very same article, we are told
that the criminal and ridiculous designs of the revolu-
tionists only proves their own weakness, and chews to
all Europe the force and perfect union of the Royalists.
These Papers stay, that the preparationi for the
departure of, the French troops had already commenced
at Madrid. A foretaste of the consequences was also
experienced there. The rabble of the Servile party,
conceiving there was already an impunity for crime,
began the work of assassination upon persons suspected
of Constitutionalism. This was not confined merely to
the capital. In several other places disorders and
violent animosities broke loose in contempt of the public
authority, and even of the French. garrison. Some
disorder, the nature of which is not well explained,
appears to have occurred at Corunna, where 24000 men
ite said to be assembled, to be embarked for the Ha-
vaniuds. According to one statement, these troops have
mutinied ; but this report is contradicted, in the same
letter which communicates it, and the following is given
as a correct statement of the facts :
" In consequence of a quarrel among the soldiers, some
were arrested. Their friends and comrades insisted that
they should be set at liberty ; and, being unable to obtain
