LAW INTALLIGENCIL

COURT OF lttNO's BENCH, NOV. Fr.
THE INHAIMTANTS OF wrist:mar= V. THE COM.
MISSJOWERS OF MIFFING AND PAVING.
Mr. Panic sheaved cause against the Rule obtain-
ed in this very interesting case. A Rule had been
obtained to stew cause why a Mandamus should not
issue, to be directed to the Commissioners of Light-
ing and Paving, calling. on them to enforce the
Parish, in whose diitrict it might happen, to repah,
the paving and roadway of Piccadilly. He had ap..,
peered on the-part of the parish on a former occa-
sion ; and the Lord Chief Justice (EUenborough) I
was pleased to allow time to his clients, to ascertain
Whether theist were any dispotable funds in the pos-
session of the parish, which could be appropriated
to repair the paving in Piccadilly. It was now
ascertained by all parties, that the parish had or
disprable fund:" for such a purpose ; but as appli-
cation was about to be made to another nine (Par-
liament) for an extension of their means of raising
moneys to enable them to make such repair!, he now
applied for the Rule Nisi to he dismissed, as that was
understood to be necessary previoutly to any applica-
tion being made to Parliament.
Sir W. GARBOW could not but consent to the dis-'
missal, as there were nci funds, and as Piccadilly must
tcmain in its pretent condition till legia:ttive
sutho-
tity was obtained for raising more money.
Lord Era,graoaotion observed, that as such was
the case, the Rule must of course be dismissed.--
Rule discharged.
THE RIND v. THE INIIAMANTS OF ST. GEORGE'S,
MANOVER4QOARE.
Mr. JIGKYL applied for a rule to chew cause why
the issues in this case should not be increased to
£1250, and that sum paid into the hands of a person
appointed by the Court He !nosed this on affida-
vits, which stated that the parish of St. George had
been indicted, and a verdict obtained against it, on
account of the dilhpidated and dangerous state of the
pavement in Piccadilly. They had undertaken to
tepait the pavemcnt, and iudgment had not been
pressed against them. A considerable" portion of

VCCHEQUER CHAMBER, NOVEMBER 24. ,
VtiTHcIPF v. LORD HUNTINGIFI.D.
One of the Learned Gentlemen who aprearecfa
this case on the part of the plaintiff, r quested that
1. their Lordships would be pleased to postpone the dis-
cession of the case till to-morrow, in ismuch as Mr.
Leach was busily employed in the Court of Chan-
cery, and his other learned coadjutor, Mr. B. their
Lordships woulJ be sorry to be iufornted, was cone
fined with the gout. ..
Mr. Illausicev, who appeared for the defendant.
immediately said, thit he was particularly sorry for the
uncomfortable plight of his Learned Friend, Mr. B.
because he was a sociable Gentleman. He had dined
with him yesterday, and he displayed aignal activity
in walking, about eight o'clock at night at which pr.
riod he parted with him. Notwithstanding all that,
I dte out was a very coorvenient excuse.
The Loan Cuter BARON =swelled, with a smiles --
I'that be recollected when Sir Fletcher Norton ws
Speaker of the Howe of Commons, a curious incl.
dent happened respecting the apologies of friendship
A meeting of learned Gentlemen took place upon'
some eery urgent business, and the Chairman irk.
quired with much solicitude concerning Sir Fletcher
Norton, whose presence was absolutely necessary'
for the arrangement of their concerns. Several Gen-
tlemen immediately arose, and made a very ceremo.
nious apology for the absence of the Speaker of the
House of Commons. They-had called on nim that
very evening, and they were authorised by him to
say, rlpt his pmfessiorial duties were so multifarious,
and the sitaation of the Speaker of the Commons t
had been' that day so arduous, that he felt himself i
very &flatted and unable to be present at their meet-
ins. The Gentlemen had scarce finished their apo-
logy, when up started the herculeah figure of Sir
Fletcher Norton himself, to the great consternation
of his apologists, and advanced towards the Chair. •
I He thanked his friends very courteously for the care
they lied taken of his reputation, and he hoped, that ..
lever After, with them inquity would precede apologyii :
Mr. DAUNCRY said, smiling, " My Lord, 1 realty
dined and walked abolit list night with my learned
Friend, and his appearance willcreate, no:consterna.
tion within me."
The ease sorietime afterwards coinuteiendl k was
a Bill filed in Equity, by a Spiritual 'Rector, pray.
ling for a leave for tithes.
. In Posi**r to the bill, the Arrottwel-GINNIIRAL cons
tended; that the Rector hard filed his bill for tithes
which did not appertain to him; for he claimed the -
' titlje of Huntingfield pleas-are-park, that, according
to immemorial usage, had been covered from tittle
of kind by a maw, along with many other fields be+
longing to the same estate. Having dismissed that
part of the bill, he maintained that the remaiad=
was wholly vexatious,- iirtsnuseli as it claimed tithe;
for grating a twenty'-five acre park for one motith,
at Michaelmas, the whole tithe of which, according
to most scrupulous hwestigation, could not exceed
2s. 9d. In ale case of Griffiths and Wrilliarnt, tried
in the year 1695, a bill was filed for the tithe of a
cow and a calf, which came to a Sum of Si. bet it
was ciiimtised because it was too sernpulouslj mi-
mate and vexatious. He hoped their Lordships would
ir do the present bill a similar favour. .
I ' Mt. Datinccv appeared on the same fide, and ob.
served, that the present case had depended for five
years. The plaintiff had tried his curie before a
Jury, and lostat, because they found_ that the pleasure
1-park of Huntingfield possessed a privilege of ireedotet .
from tithe in kind from time immemorial.
•
Another Learned Gentleman, on the sate sidle
said, that really the present bill had been tied to
recover a few 'shillings, and • the wtiole proceedings
would cost at lea,t ‘6OO, In the case of " Ballet '
'o. Attey,"- in Gwiltian-44/St a bill was filed. claiming
I Easter offerings of st•family, hut it was diauais .
because of the smallness of the sum,' and lie had no
reason tb apprehend that a better fatly issWitited the
preient bill.
Mr. Lech appeared pa the part of the plaintiff,
and maintained, that his client was the represent:taws
of the Church,' end it became hit paramount duty to
protect its privileges, 'foe be was.not like an indiii-
'dual that could surrendki part of hit tartans list the
whole should he disturb He had.strietty enquired
in his parish concerning _ thie inimpaprial usages.of
tithes, • and he had pro -cs. in the s:affepecurdipg.
•to the information that hi' ctinld i*,l6. Since
reasonable grounds had thereore spOatti4for Shag.
the present bill, he hopAtkeiaiLceddshaaarnald not
dismiss it with costs. ~.i ~.1 ta ". .---y- •• . '
The Loco Cam BARON said; that the Rectarhaci
lived for 2,5 years in the_ wish, and ought to have
attended to his tithes. 4sunpledge of the fact was
within his reach, and he should lt•ive inquired asst.
diously concerning the right that he possessed before.
he filed his bills He had neglected to avail himself
of knowledge within his reach, and he would be ob-
liged to pay the costs of attempting to disturb an eld
immunity. The tithe for grazing a month on. 25
acre park at Michaelmas, could be so very littk,,that
the Costa could not contemplate the bill as having
been filed for more than a few shillings, which' was - •
by far too. scrupulous and minute fur the COartse
entertain:. - .

We are frequently called on to admire the de-
vices and signs adopted by shopkeepers and others,
to designate-their trades and attract public attehtioll.
The following appears pre-eminently to challenge
distinction :—Over a tobacconist's shop in West-
minster is a boarki, on which are painted three hands,
holding a pinch of rig, spite, and a paid of tobacco;
and underneath is written this delicious couplet :

FONTKILL ABBILY.—The height of this extraordi-
nary Structure is within a few feet the same as that
of St. l'aal's ! Tie ground at the foundation is on a level
with the lots of Salisbury spire, which is among the
loftiest known, namely, abOve 400 feet, of course,
nearly twice the height of the Monument !
jitommt Bam,L—This great work, executed jointly
by Government and the public spirited land-owners of
Sutherland, over the Dornoch frith, on the great road
leading from London through thenorthern counties to
Wick and Thurso, at the extremity of our island, has
been officially reported to the Bridge Committee, as-
sembled at Dornoch on the 12th instant " finished and
complete," and the bridge open for traveSers. The
bridge consists of one most stupendous arch, con-
strueted of cast iron, of 150 feet span, bending over
the rapid and deepest part of the gulph, and two hand- !
some stone arches at the south-end, where the stream is
nofso rapid and deep. The small arches span, one
SO and the other 50 feet. The road way on the bridge
is 15 feet wide, and the whole length between the
newels at the ends of the bridge is exactly 440 feet
the parapets are composed of cast-iron billustrade
along the whole length of the bridge, with the hand-
rail hied into eight handsome stone pedestals, erected
for that purpose. The embankment on the low shore
at the south•end of the bridge is 15 feet high, and de-
clines with a gentle slope to the level ground, where
a beautiful piece of new road, a mile in length, has
been opened to join that now making from Dingwall
to Kincardine—this piece of grotmd was executed
under the bridge contract. The design and execu-
tion of Bonar Bridge, may be safely entrusted to
speak for itself— it was built under very difficult cir-
cumstances, the whole of the foundations, except the
i north 'abutment, being sunk in caissons, in a rapid
tidy, 21 feet deep ; and, for the permanent security of
the bridge, the water-way of the two stone-arches
are extended ten feet each. From the north end of
the bridge to the church of the Creich, at the tern)i-
n.ition of the Dunrobin and Skibe road, a distance of
two miles and a quarter, over very difficult ground,
along a rocky shore, the new road has been contrac-
ted tor and begun, and there is every season to be-
lieve will be opened to the üblic some time heat
