NATUSH V. THE ALLIANCE COMPANY.

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL stated, that his Lordship
had given this application so much attention during
the •acation, and written out his reasoning upon it so
fully, embodying doctrine so clear, that it was not the
intention of the defendants to resist the issuing of the
injunction; but he thought the Court's opinion ought
to be recorded.

His IsOIiDSIIIP had no objection to what he had
written upon the subject being recorded as his opinion.
The single principle he went upon was, that if A, B,
and C, agree to become partners in a particular con-
cern, B and C cpnot afterwards say to A, we think we
can join a beneficial concern to the one we already are
in, and therefore you must agree to that ; neither could
the two say to the third, if you do not consent, we will
pay you the amount of your capital, and turn you out
of the concern altogether. The only thing the two
could do, would be, to raise a capital, and go into any
other concern they might choose.

The schooner Acorn, of Whitby, from Shoreham to
Sunderland, was run down by the ship Killingbeck,
horn London for Antigua, about two o'clock on the
morning of the 24th ult. eight miles off Fairleigh, on
the Sussex coast ; the schooner was struck in the mid-
ships, and was nearly cut in two ; she instantly sunk in
about 28 fathoms water, and the crew with difficulty
saved their lives without anything but the clothes
they had on.

Friday last, at the Liverpool Sessions, Thomas Stew-.
art, otherwise Doctor Stewart, and Robert Az lastrang,
a baker, were tried for attempting to steal bodies from
the Church-yard of St. John's, Liverpool. The Jury,
after a short deliberation, returned a verdict of Guilty.
They were each sentenced to be imprisoned for 18
months in the House of Correction at Kirkdale, and to
pay a fine of 501. to the King.
Wednesday morning last, a man was found lying on
the hearth, in a room of Mr. Nelson's house, at Wea-
vering-street, Maidstone. He was sleeping, and covered
with soot. It subsequently turned out that he was a
convict, and recently escaped from the hulks, and still
had his leg fetters on. He had contrived to get into
Mr. Nelson's house through the chimney, and being
worn out with fatigue, fell asleep in the situation we
have described.

Yesterday, the Annual Sermon was preached at the
Parish Church of St. Margaret's, Westminster, accord-
ing to the will of Mrs. Joan Barnett, commonly called
the " Oatmeal Woman." She left to twenty poor
widows of that parish forty shillings per annum each,
for ever; twenty shillings for a sermon to be preached
annually, on the 4th of November ; twenty shillings to
the Overseers of the parish for a treat—and one of the
dishes at the entertainment, in memory of her, is always
to be an oatmeal pudding—and half a crown to theclerk,
and half a crown to ti.. sexton.

Several very fine larches from the Duke of An/nu:3
plantations were last week floated at Perth for Leith, to be used
there in the construction of steam vessels.
