Mr. Tormo chewed cause against the Rule ob-
tained if} this case, for a certiorari to remove certain
orders of the Justices, respecting the building of
new Gaol at Maidstone.
The Court refused the Rule, on the ground that
some of the orders were not the subjtct of a certiorari,
and in others the application was out of time.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JULY 7.

CAPT. is ItISBA NE v. TUE DLL:MAIMS DIP ADMIRAL. DACIIV.

This decision is of considerable importance to the
Navy. Captain Brisbane paid to Admiral Mere,
accor&ag to the usage of the service, a share of
freight which Captain Brisbane had earned for bring-
'' bullion from South America. In 1808 the Courts
otWestminster decided in the case of Montague and
linverin, that the. Flag Officer had no right to any
freight, and on that decision Captain B. brought his
action to receiver back the money paid to Admiral
llacre, in ignorance of the law. After the pleadings
pro. and CON. the Court were clearly of opinion that
the action cannot be supported. The plaintiff will,
of course, be nonsuited.

A stone which fell on Monday se'nnight in Glas-
gow, during a thunder storm, is supposed by some
to be a meteoric stone. It fell upon the sweet, by
which it was broken, and a part of it rebounded
through a window. When taken up it was so hot
that it could not be held in the hand, and was co-
vered with a filmy matter, and, it is said, w:ts of a
sulphureous smell : it is about a pound weight, of a
blackish-grey colour.
BoxrNc.—Saturday "se'nnight a dispute wok place
in Chester, between a sturdy carter and a jolly brewer;
..Ind as it appeared evident that the matter under dis-
cussion could not be brought to an amicable termina-
tion by the “ wordy eloquence of the parties, it was
recommended to them to resort to inod-me-down ora-
tory in the church yard. At the commencement of
the battle, the Knight of the WO, knotked down all op-
position. Towards the 3Oth round, hou..ver, the
tfirit of the Man of Grain:, became suddenly eleva-
ted, and he stood to his antagonist like a Giant re-
fleshed. In short, the brewer got the eekift-hand,
j:Ual the carter, and finished the gymnastic perfor-
mance with a cross-buttock, executed in the style
of the first professor:. The 36th round the Jehuitt
gave in. Both the combatants were pretty well
marked in the face, and the opsk of the carter Leerued
