LAIV INIELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, MARCH 5.

AGAR, E.Q. V. THE REGF.NT9O CANAL COMPANY.

The Lotto CH ANCF.LI,OII this day pronounced judg.
ment. He observed that the 2d, 10th and IRh sec-
tions of the Act of Parliament declared that the
defendants had a right to cut the canal through the
plaintiff's estate : the 12th section expressed they
had not, without the consent of the plaintiff. His
construction of the Act, after having given it every
consideration, was, that the Legislature never intend-
ed that the 12th section should do away with the
effect of the other three sections, which gave the au-
thority : he would therefore dissolve the injunction
granted by his Honour the Vice-Chancellor, and di-
rect a special injunction, that the defendants should
be restrained from cutting the canal through the
plaintiff's estate, except it was cut according to the
line marked out in the plan annexed to the Act of
Parliament.

CO :MT OF KING'S BENCH, MARCH S.
MOLLINU V. INGLIS.
This was an action brought by the assignees of
Messrs. lVII:te and Lubbern, upon a policy of insur.
ance, to all or any port or ports in the Baltic, with
liberty to make Gottenhurgh the last port frr the
delivery of her cargo, to wait off any port for infor-
mation, and back to London, if the ship should not
be able to discharge her cargo. Two points of de-
fence were made, first, that the interest *as averred
in White and Lubbern, whereas it was in Messrs.
Langhall and Holteen, the consignees. The goods
were shipped by the bankrupts under the contingency
that Messrs Langhall and Co. would take to them ;
but as they were purchased by the bankrupts, subject
to that contingency, Lord LLLENBOROL'GIL W.TS' cf
opinion that the interest continued in the banks opts.
The second point was, whether there was not a devi-
alion in a non-prosecution of the voyage, from the
:30th October to 6th Noverniter, arising from aa un-
certainty to whom the risk belonged; and k appear.
ing by the evidence of thu agent at the foreign port
that nobody was provided with orders as to the dis-
posal of the cargo when it arrived, and that they
waited all that time, not for the purpose of informa-
tion as to the hostile state of the port, in which there
WAS no general confiscation of all such cargoes till it
was proclaimed in the churches on the ith of Decem-
ber, and non liqua but the ship might have discharged
her cargo there before that day, Lord ELLENIiOHOUGH
held, that during Clis abeyance or inaction, the risk
was improperly attempted to be cast upon the under-
' writers, and that it was the do.ty of those who sent
out goods upon tlh2 contingency of their belonging to
themselves or their consignees, to provide tke
with ..rders at the port of destination, and not to
wait to send back to London for them ; and t.lat
therefore this delay amounted to what the la.:. of in•
surance called a deviation.—The Plaintiff upon this
elected to be Non-suited.

SANDS V. 113NEYPENNY.
This action was to recover compensation in da-
mages for a libel. The libol was of a private nature,
between private individuals in L-rham, attributing
unworthy motives and conduct in transactions respec-
ting the building of a new gaol. The plaintiff was
the architect. The facts being proved, the Jury re-
turned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages £lOO.
HERTFORD ASSIZES.
J. Capels, J. Elliott, J. Wooton, J. Wilkinson, J.
Friswell, J. Brockhouse, J. Chaplin, and R. Pendrill,
were indicted for a riot at Northchurcli. The pH-
s•mers were all baigemen, working on the canal.—
On the niet of the 4th of October, a large party of
them, drunk, went to the house of a woman named
liatindl, where they conducted themselves mil 41 Most
riotous manner ; and she having raised solfseof`thel
neighbours to her assistance, they attacked them whli
the greatest fury, and beat the constable who came
to suppress the affray. On cross-examination it ap-
peared that they went to enquire after a woman of
easy virtue, who had previously resided there, and not
finding her, they thought themselves warranted in-
taking ar.y -liberties in the house which they thought
proper.--lapels, Friswell, Lrockhouse, and Elliott,
were found Guilty, and the others acquitted.
On the Civil 'Side, the case of Mozley v. kenning-
ten, wi:ich was an action for not taking away titlit7s,
was brought on, in order to try the question, whether
tl,e f:ant.r could not set out the tithes of part of a
field betore the whole was tithed ? But on the part
of the plamtiff, it appearing that the Clergyman had
not due notice of any tithes being set out, the plaintiff
was non-suited without deciding the other question.
The business finished on Iriday evening.

A few days ago, as Mr. G. Anderson, a grocer at
Newcastle, was AMU to be arrested for debt, he
jumped out of the wii,dow and broke his leg, which
was afterward ampu:ated j but a mortification taking
place, it finally caused his death.
Thursdry night a fire broke out in the work-shops
of Mr. Daniel. Brown, cloth-dresser, Leeds, which
coitsum..4l all the intotior of the building.
