to kr,:nv that his country is at peace with the Go,
vernment of Spain ; and I am bound to know ;bit
this country dies not recognise a Peruvian Gnveri
merit. Therefore, the question is, ought this Court&
interfere at all ?
Mr. WETHERELL would confine himself to ;hi
question, if his I".dship pleased, because certainly i
seemed to overrule all other questions.
Iris LORDSHIP.—Suppose, for instance, that money;
by son:e slip or other, had got into this Court, totltf
account of the Peruvian Government, would it.*
have belonged to the King of this country ?
Mr. W Ertl ERELL.—The money is not in this Court,
my Lord.
his LORDSH cr.—No, it happens not to be here; bar
if it had happened to have been in Court, what would
have been the consequence ?
Mr. WETHERELL..—With great deference I reply,
th az, in my opinion, this country has no right to ag
what ir; to be done w ith this money.
Ibis LORDSilip.—The neater way of putting *
question is, What right has any person to call upon
the King's• tnurts of this country to interfere to for.
ward or to prevent such negotiations ?"
Mr. WETHERELL thought that was what he warned,
LORDSHIP.—There has been a great deal said
about .the legality of the subscription rai•ing fir
Spain, but with that I have nothing to do. Yet sup.
posing those subscriptions to be legal (without cola
mitting myself either way by saying they are or re
not), I should be glad to know whether, on a sum e(
money being paid into Child's shop, or any other sill,
for the purpose of being sent into that country, with
which we are at this moment at perfect peace, thi
country's King's Court could be called upon to inter.
fete at all ? As far as that goes, it is in your favour,
Mr. Wetherell—for unless the Learned Gentlemenoa
the other side can, on this state of the record, say that
this Court ought tee, interfere, then there ought to be
no injunction. And that will depend on another
thing, namely, whether it can be made out, that if
there had been only one subscriber to this loan, he
could have maintained an action for the recovery
of the money in the Court of King's Bench ? Anl
that I doubt very much. In short, ought this Court to
interfere with persons who thought proper to treatwiib
a Government which this country knew nothing of?

An Inquest was held at Gosberton, on Saturday
last, by C. Nlastin, Gentleman, Coroner, on the body
of Miss Willerton of that place, whot on the pia
ceding day, ate a hearty breakfast in perfect health,
and at noon was a corpse. The young Lady thussud,
denly snatched away was on the eve of being married
to a respectable Gentleman of the neighbourhood.—
Verdict, " Died by the Visitatio4 qf Gob."
IHEORTANT TO STAGE-COACH PROPRII"TOIIe.SeIetaI COUlrit•
tions have lately taken place, at Worship-street Office, against&
owners of stage-coaches, under the 25 Geo. 111. c. Si, sec. se,
which requires the name of the place to and from which the
catch is going, to be marked or painted on the pannel of the door
—On Friday Mr. Sykes, the Solicitor to the Commissioners ef
Stamps, appeared before Samurai. TWYFORDZ Esq. and pointei
out the illegality of any proceeding by informers to recover the
penalty under that section ; all matters necessary to put tk
powers of the Act in force were under the management of the
Commissioners, and it was unlawful to prosecute the same ex-
cept in the name of his Majesty's Attorney-General, or of the
Solicitor, or some other Officer of his Majesty's Stamp Duties.
Mr. Twyroan expressed his concurrence in the remake
Mr. Sykes. With respect to the convictions before him, they
were of course void, and ought not to be returned to the Seo
lions, and informers ought to acquaint all parties againstwhom
they had proceeded. Mr. Sykes further intimated, that tbe Como
missioners wished no proceedings against stage-coach omens
under the 25th Geo. 111. the necessity of which was saprowasi
by the late Act providing numbers, and in case any cominisa
.had been paid, it was probable that the King's part of the pear
would be returned by a proper application to the Treasury.
LIABILITY To POOR•RATIII.—Friday, a question of conslab‘
able importance to persons holding offices or detached apart-
ments, as to poor-rates, came on before the Loan MAYOB, at*
Mansion-House. A person keeping a shop in an alley in !limbo
lane, was summoned by the Overseers of St. Michael's, Cortildi
to shew cause why he refused to pay poor-rates.
The defendant, who is a shoemaker, took a room with a bet
opening into an alley, and occupied it as a shop, agreeing rota,
a fixed rent, the landlord engaging to be responsible for toot
poor-rates, or.any other charge whatever. The defendant did
not sleep in this room, and had no servant living in it. ll*
Overseers of the poor, however, considered it as a distinct toit•
loran', and rated it accordingly, alleging that the door which owl
municated with the rest of the house being kept closed, made it
a separate tenement; and that the agreement with the laadled
was a mere evasion, on the part of the defendant, to avoid in
liability to serve pariah offices.
The LORD Mama considered the question as Of great in'
portance in the City. If the room were declared liable, thin
wits not an office, nor even an apartment in a coffee-house take
by the week for business, or otherwise, that might not be drehrti
a separate tenement rateable for poor-rates, nor an owns/Aril
might nor be called upon to serve parochial offices. His to d-
ship, under these circumstances, refused to grant a warrant si
distress to the Parish Officers.2The Officers expressed their di'
termination to get the question settled by applying to the Coin
of King's Bench for a 31andamus to compel dais Lordship'.
