COURT OF CHANCERY-THIS DAY.

LEICESTERSHIRE TITHE CAUSE.
JUDGMENT.•
•WILLIAMS V. BACON AND OTHERS.

The Loan CfIANCELLOR, on coming into Courr this day. took a
brief review of this long litigated cause between the plaintiff, the
Rector of Markham, Leicestershire, and the holders of the exten-
sive lands around, relative to his right to demand tithes in kind,
it being contended that a modus having been paid, he had no such
right. A trial at law was the consequence, and, as alleged, owing
to a misdirection of the Judge who tried the cause, a verdict was
given in favour of the defendants. The Rector then came to this
Court, and prayed a new trial; apd after much argument, and
perusing the large mats of documentary evidence, his Lordship
now proceeded to give his opinion as follows : •
"That there must be a trial at law, and the party might have the
order so drawn up, as that the Jury should indorse on the peseta,
whether, if any money had been paid, that had been done in lieu of
tithes of as a moth:* ; and if so.how long a time that had continued."
Mr. Stuirrwrxx said, the defendants only object was to cheat the
Rector from receiving his tithes in kind.
Mr. Ifitarnm--How can that be, when a Jury hare decided
otherwise ?

Satamptu..—Yes, on false dircction.—l trot your Lard•
ship will order the judgment to be drawn up in terms.
The Loan CHANCELLOR said be should, and immediately stated
the words as abovementioned to the Secretary.

The Cour was crowded on the occasion.

Ftaxs.—Accidents by Are become more and more frequent in the
southern provinces of this kingdom ; several have occurred within
these few days,which are ascribed. w negligence or imprudence. The
village of Saarth, near Spawns destroyed yesterday ; of sixty houses,
forty-three were burnt down by five o'clock in the afternoon... The
'fire broke out in a blacksmith's shop, and was so violent that it
communicated to five or six houses at once. This dreadful event
was not known at Spa till half-past five o'clock in the afternoon.
Almost the whole population went to the spot to render assistance,
but the violence of the wind and the want of water rendered all
their efforts vain. On one side of the village only one house re-
mains standing.
