CAUTION.

TAYLOR and Co. (successors to M,Adam and Co.)
beg to Caution the Public against the use of any Paints pur-
porting to be MINERAL PAINTS which are not supplied from
their Nlanufactory, or furnished by their appointed Agents, as many
persons are imposing upon the Public the refuse of the Gas Works
(which has been proved by the highest authorities to be most inju-
rious, particularly as a covering for wood work) by pirating the
name of their Paints, which bare for upwards of twenty years (not-
withstanding the great and open competition) received such extended
patronage from Government, who still continue to use it, and the
following Certificates, granted by the highly distinguished ORicers
im his Majesty's service, will fullyprove its durability and economy,
notwithstanding the apparent cheapness of these spurious and ineffi-
cient imitations. The ingredients these Paints are composed of are
Manufactured at the Works erected and conducted under the late
Earl of Dundonald's Patent, to which no other house has access.
The Mineral Paints are a cheap and durable coating for all out-
door work, such as Wooden, Iran, and Canvas Roofs, Sheds, Barn.'
Out-houses, Fences, Palings, Gates, Bost and Barge bottoms, Ships'
sides and upper work., Wood and Iron Bridges, Docks, Chaim
Cables, oral eil Weed sad Iran Wurt under water, us expossill loth*
weather; for Tiles on Roofs, to prevent them imbibing water and
being injured by frost ; and for coating Ida walls to prevent damps.
No wood coated with these Paints will be worm-eaten, not will
insects or vermin of any kind inhabit hot-bed frames, or other
places, coated with them, and they will be found an effectual cure
for the dry rot; being composed entirely of Mineral substances they
are insoluble in water, and thereby resist moisture in a manner su-
perior to all other preparations.

" This is to certify, that by order of General Mercer, at the
desire of Messrs. 21•Atlam and Co. we made experiments with
their preparations of Mineral Brown Paint in April and Sep-
tember, 1806. The situation of the wood and iron work 'made use
of in this experiment is very high, and entirely exposed to the
wind fmm the Chaanel, where it is difficult to find any coating
able to resist the weather. The paint, after having withstood the
winter in the above situation, has formed a very hard and com-
pact body on both wood and iron work ; the wood when cut is
hard and very dry ; the iron free from every appearance of rust.—
From the present appearance of the Mineral Brown Paint, Its
hard, solid, and impenetrable state, there is every reason to believe
that it win defend the wood and iron work for years agalust the
effect of weather and the moisture of the atmosphere ' • and we give
it as our opinion, that it is a useful coating for wood and iron
work exposed to the weather or to damp, and coadcier it to be
cheaper than any other that can be procured.

LAW REPORT.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S Cant JULY, .13.
BASS v. TODD AND OTHERS.

In this case a bill was filed by the plaintiff against the
defendants, in order to restrain them from erecting cer-
tain bnileings in York- street, Port man•square, conttar j.
as he alleged, to the terms of an agreement enter -...
into between him and the lessor, a Mr. Harcourt,
the year 1807•

It appeared that Mr. Harcourt had himself taken n
lease for ninety-nine years, of the ground on v:hich
York-street now stands, from Mr. Portman. In the
agreement between the plaintiff and Mr. Harcourt, it
was understood that the then intended street should bV
sixty feet wide; the plaintiff conceiving that it would
be imperative on every person who might take a lease
of any part of the same to observe that I mit, he
did himself accordingly build the public-house now
known by the signitif the Royal Oak, and in which it
resides, observing what he deemed a stipulation ; sub-
sequently, however, the defendants and others, in lire
manner, took portions of the ground, on which they
erected various houses and other buildings, but without
confining themselves within the limit already men-
tioned; some of them having encroached upon the
street by six feet, leaving its breadth only fifty-four feet.
Amongst others, a church, ordered to be erected by Act
of Parliament, and a free-school, transgressed the pre-
scribed boundary (as the plaintiff alleged) by several
feet. It also appeared, however, in the course of the
suit, that in the original lease by Mr. Portman to W.
Harcourt (under whom plaintiff and defendants de-
rived), although there was a stipulation that the street
should not be less than a certain width, the tenants
were not limited to the space of sixty feet.
The Vlce-Cuascut.oa, after recapitulating the facts
of the case, said that the plaintiff having failed to prove
that he had entered into the agreement with Harcourt.
under the persuasion that he was to have the benefit of
Harcourt's own agreement with Mr. Portman, stipu-
lating that the street should be sixty fe.t wide, he the
Vice-Chancellor) should dis Charge the suit, and oadered
that the plaintiff should pay the costs of ali parties.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JULY 13.
HILL AND OTHILISS V. STARBUCE.

This was an action for damages, brought by the plain-
tiffs, who are ship-owners, against the dlfendanr, who
was formerly Captain of the vessel called the 'Mee In
1522, the defendant was sent out to the South Seas as
master; the vessel was fitted out in the most approved
method for the whale fishery, and he had instruction;
to prosecute the voyage with all dispatch. Instead of
doing this, however (according to the s:atement of
Mr. ScAttLETT, who was for the plaintiffs) he had been
allured by a Syren, at the Sandwich Islands, where
he pas ed much of his time and neglected his duty,
She persuaded him to take her on board, where sl:e
remained about nine months, and then persuaded him
to return to the Sandwich Islands, in order to be cured
of certain swellings occasioned by the food which Elie
had taken during the voyage. The consequence of all
which was, that the young girl's appearance so much
improved by the voyage, that the Captain became quite
a favourite in the main island, where the King and
Queen resided, and was courted by all ranks and sexes,
but patticularly by the Ladies. The Queen took quite
a fancy for him, and she likewise was determined to
make a voyage in order to improve her looks, and learn
wisdom by associating with Europeans. The ,Captain
lingered in this island, which might be called another
Circe, and, instead of catching whales, seemed only
intent on catching women. As etiquette, however,
prevented the Queen from coming without her husband,
the King was obliged to accompany her with a nume-
rous suite of attendants. Great quantities of live stock
were put on board, pigs, goatr, oxen, &c. Many of
the necessary vessels for curing the fish were in com•e-
quence thrown overboard, and the main object of the
voyage was changed for a scene of pleasure and riot.
From the Sandwich Islands they steered to R.o.laneiro.
where they amused themselves in visiting the country
for some days. They then proceeded to England
with the unfortunate King and Queen (a ho died in
this country), and arrive 4 at Portsmouth about five or
six months later than they would have arrived if no
delays of this kind had taken place. The cargo
of the vessel was not completed, and- part of the
oil which they had on board was damaged, and
rendered nearly unsaleable, owing to the way in
which the master had conductod the voyages.—
The vessel was fitted up to contain 300 tons of oil, but
instead of that only 275 were brought home, and about
twenty-five of these were worth only 17/. per ton ;
whereas the average price/6as 421. per ton. Tile 1 s
of time and deficiency in the cargo W 45 a most serious
to :s to the plaintiffs, and the Jury would assess damages
accordingly. The defence set up was a most remva
able one. The master took the young woman on board
because she had a remarkable eye for a whale, and 1.•.-
sisted the crew in finding out the places where the.a-
animals frequented. It was likewise alleged, that the
presents put on board by the King and Queen of the
Sandwich Islands, amounted to a large sum, perhaps
some hundreds of pounds ; but it was wrll known posi-
tions wet e so cheap there, that they cost next to no:h'ng.
Mr. Scoaters then called
Robert Poole, formerly Captain of the Aigle; Robert
Stubbs, who was an articled apprentice to the plarittfr.,,
and sailed is the vessel to the South Seas; and seve,al
other witnesses, for the purpose of proving that the a—
fendinn had neglected his duty, and caused great less
to the plaintiffs.
The ATTORNEY-GENRRAL, for the defence, produced
witnesses in order to prove that the defendant had •
filled the contract, and, in proof of it, that the platntrils
had received a bounty of 5001. granted by Pat liament
to the owners of vessels which brought home the greatest
quantity of fish.
After a great variety of detail., which occupied the Nun till
eiskt o'clock, the Jury returned for the plaintiffs—Damages, idles.
