LAW REPORT.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JUNE 26.
THE KING V. LORD YARBOROUGII.

The Loan CHIEN' JUSTICE delivered judgment in this
case. It was a question respecting sonic salt-marshes at
the mouth of the !lumber, which the noble defendant
claimed as belonging to his estates. It consisted of se-
veral acres ; the plaCe joined the sea, but the sea had
receded from it. This case was tried at the Derby As-
sizes, when, from the evidence there adduced, the Jury
returned a verdict for the defendant. His Lordship
said, the Court was of opinion that such verdict was
justly returned, and therefore it ought not to be dis-
tut bed.—Rule discharged.

ÜbUItY.—ASSIGNEES OF GOULDING V. LAING,

The argument upon this case was resumed this morn-
ing, and occupied the Court fora long time. A verdict
nad been found, atter a very long trial at ciuildhall,
against the defendant, for the penal sum of 9(X(. being
three times the sum of .10(1/. which he was charged
with having lent to the bankrupt, Goulding, at usu-
ions interest. A rule had afterwards been obtained,
to shew cause why a new trial should not be granted, or
a nonsuit entered.

The CovnT consulted for some time, and then stated
that the objections to the evidence were not good, or
afforded any grounds for a new trial; but that the ob-
jections to the several counts of the pleading were en-
titled to consideration, and he would therefore take
time to consider whether any one of the eighteen counts
could support the verdict.—Judgment postponed.

SITTING OP THE COURT.

In pursuance of the King's warrant it was announced
that two or more of the Judges of this Court would sit
in the private room at the back of the Court on Monday
the 12th, and thence to the Dili July, and on the 25th
of October until the commencement of Michaelmas
Term, for the dispatch of the arrear of Term business.
COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JUNE 26.
HAWKINS V. HOWARD AND GIBBS.

This was an action brotight against the defendants
for having negligently conducted themselves in securing
an annuity which they were retained by the plaintiff to
purchase. The case was tried before the Lord Chief
Justice Gifford, at Guildhall, when his Lordship non-
suited the plaintiff, on the ground of a variance between
the declaration and the evidence. A motion was made
by the plaintiff, in the course of the last Term, to set
aside the nonsuit, and to obtain a new trial. The notes
of Lord Gifford were this day read, and Mr. Serjeant
Vaughan commenced his argument, when the further
consideration of the case was postponed, as their Lord-
ships weir obliged to transact business at Chambers.
PREROGATIVE COURT, JUNE 25.
CA MILANI V. M[OIOTTO.

Dr. STODA AT moved, on behalf of Lazaro Maria Negrotto Cam-
biaso, fur letters of administration of the property or his grand-
mother, Donna Maria, otherwise Marina, otherwise Marine
Cambiaso Negrotto. The deceased Lady. before mentioned, died
in Genoa, a native and domicile of that place, on the 13th of May,
1807, at the advanced age of 84 years, possessed of landed property
in Genoa, and also Stock in this country, amounting to 1,7001. She
left one lon, named Lazaro Maria Cambiaso Negrotto, and also a
daughter. who, having taken the veil, was excluded from making
any claim. 'fbe sou would have been entitled to her property had
she died intestate, but she made a will, disposing of her property,
and appointing D. Guiliano de Buedo and Signor Antonio Sotto,
executors. This will was contested by the deceased's son, and sub-
sequently declared void. A citation then issued, calling on the
persons who supported the will to thew cause why letters of admi-
nistration shoukl not issue to the deceased's son. Lazaro Maria
Negrotto Cambiaso, the grandson, however, appeared by Pesare
Parodi, his judicial curator, and contended that he was entitled to
the letters of administration, on the ground that his father was
insane, and incapable of managing his affairs.
Dr. SWAIZY said, he did not intend to oppose the allegation of
mental imbecility, but he contended that the heading of the allega-
tion ought to be entered according to the Caveat Act.

Pi RACY.—By a return laid before the House of Com-
mons, it appears that there were twelve persons tried
and condemned in the Assize Court at Jamaica, be-
tween the Ist of January, 1821, and the 31st of March,
18. 23, for acts of piracy. Twenty others were con-
victed at an Admiralty Sessions in May, 1823, and Ilia
,at another Admiralty Sessions on the 7th January, 1824.
