ARCHES COURT, JUNE to.
GREIG V. GREW.

This was a suit instituted by the husband against the
wife, to obtain a restitution of conjugal rights.
Sir J. Nicitora. pronounced judgment. The defence,
he observed, set up was, that the husband had entered
into a deed, 'by which he consented to his wife living
scrarate from him, on her undertaking to pay him a
puportion of the annual income which she enjoyed in
her own right. Now the Court had, in repeated instances
decided, that such a deed was no bar to a suit of this
kind ; for it was impossible for the Court to enter into
an examination the expediency of the parties living
separate or together ; it was sufficient that it confined
itself to the strict law as applying to the case before it.
In the present instance the defence was wholly untenable,
and be wa.' therefore, bound to pronounce Mr. Greig
entitled to the prayer of his suit, and to order a monition
to issue against Mrs. Greig, calling upon her to conform
to the dtcree of the Court.
RHE OFFICE OF JUDGE PROMOTE!) ET THE CIKIRCH-
WARDENS OF TRING, HERTFORDsfiIItEt AGAINST
HENRY WILLIAMS.
This was a suit proinoted against Mr.HenryWilliams,
of Grars-inn-place. for chiding, brawling, and sear.

'relling in the church of Tring, Hertfordshire, duringl
DivineService,and thereby disturbing the congregation.
It appeared that there had been some dispute as to
whether the acting Churchwardens had been duly
elected or not, and that the defendant, entertaining an
oiiinion that they had not, called upon the Clergyman,
and remiested him to convene a vestry for the consider-
a iou of this question. The Clergyman declined so
doing, and Mr: William; the following Sunday,
medistely after the conclusim of the Nicene Creed, got
upon the seat of his pew, and read aloud the following
notice:—" A vestry will be held in the Vestry-room
of the Parish Church nest Friday evening, for the put.-
pose of electing other Churchwardens instead of the
present." This act considerably disconcerted the con-
gregation, and, by order of the Minister, Mr. Williams
was removed out of the Church.

Sir J. NICHOLL pronounced judgment. The offence
imputed had most clearly proved, and the Court
therefore telt called upon to admonish Mr. Wil-
liams against the commission ref such excesses in future,
and to condemn him in the full costs of this suit.

WESTMINSTER COURT OF REQUESTS.

IMPROVEMENTS AT BrickIAIGHAIKHOUSz
AND WAIIIRLOGPLACIL

The new elevation will be Grecian, and of stone, ad-
vanced in front of the present building, which will be
re-arranged so as to form a magnificent gallery, in which
the beautiful collection of pictures belonging to, his
Majesty, and which are scattered about in the. different
palaces, will be most advantageously disposed. The
grounds are also to undergo considerable a'teration, and
a piece of water will form a new feature amongst their
beauties ; this addition will not only improve the effect,
but will answer a most useful purpose, inasmuch as the
soil procured by excavation will be employed in raisin
a mound, to be thickly planted, which will exclude the
view of the new stables from any part of the domain.
The alteration consequent upon the demolition of
Carlton House will be one of the most splendid yet
effected in ihat part of the town.
A sctiare, corresponding N itb Waterloo-place, will be
ope,red towards the garden, but separated from it by
an iron railing. To the right and left of this, facing
the garden, on a terrace, four or six first-rate houses
will be erected, and three more on the site of the pre-
sent riding-house—all of which will have the advantage
of a view into the Garden and Park ; while from Re-
gent-street the view will be uninterrupted across the
Parade to Westminster Abbey. Nothing can be more
beautiful than such a prospect ; and, on the other hand,
the magnificent change to be worked at Charing-cross
will secure to London a " Place" nut surpassed in
grandeur and variety in any city in Europe. But per-
haps the generality of the public are not yet prepare,l
to understand, that from this grand sqtiare, in which a
fac-simile of the Partheaon, the portico of S:. Martin's
Church, the Heralds' College, the College of Physi-
cians, the Uoion Club, the Athenarian Club, and a
splendid fade to the present buildings of the King's
Mews, are to be collected, a stem upon the same scale
as Regent-street is to be built, annihilating all the vile
neighbourhood of • the Seven Dials, and part of St.
and leading directly to the British Museum. I
the front of the Must um, it is proposed to insulate the
Church of S;. George, Bloomsbury, and leave a grand
area in Trout of that building, while, at the other end
of the street, the beautiful Church of St. Martin is also
to be insula•ei—a change which not only will bring
that magnificent structure to the eye of the public, but
also place the front of Northumberland House as a fea-
ture in the square to which we have already referred.

At a Meeting cf the Dublin Guild of Merchants,
on Wednesday, it was resolved to raise a subscription
to defray the expense of placing in the Guild Hall a
full-length painting o! C e Duke of Youx.

and Literary Institution of that place, amounts already
to nearly 9001.

At five o'clock on Wednesday, M. GA RNERIN as-
cended in a balloon, in majestic style. from Petit. The
inflated orb remained suspended over the Champs
Elysee for upwards of an hour.
Thursday, the inhabitants of Stockton-on-Tees had
a great treat, by the ascent o! Messrs. Green in their
balloon. There %sits an immense concourse etaf spec-
tators assembled on the occasion, and the weather was
extremely favourable. After a voyage of about 45
minutes, the balloon fell near Acklam Hall, and Messrs.
Green rec.. ived every attention from William Hustler,
Esq. in whose carriage they were taken to the ball,
and sumptuously entertained. Thence they returned
to Stockton in a chaise and four, sent by the Mayor,
and their safe return was hailed by the cheers of several
thousand people.
Saturday an Inquest, before THOMAS SHELTON, Esq.
Coroner for London, was held at the jail of Newgate,
on the body of Magnus Booth, a prisoner c )mmitted
for trial at the next Old Bailey Sessions. It appeared
from the evidence of the surgeon, that the deceased was
labouring under an affection of the lungs when he was
brought into custody, and fever following, he was re-
moved to the infirmary of the prison, where he had re-
ceived proper medical treatment, but after remaiqing
there about a week, be died. This poor man was a
seaman, a native of the Danish Island of Santa Cruz,
"without any friends in this country: he was committed
to Newgate by one of the Thames Police Magistrates,
f..)r taking away and pawning a shawl, which belonged
to a woman with whom he had been accustomed to co-
on his return from his sea voyages.
