PALACE COURT. FRIDAY. APRIL 23.

In the cafe of GIAINCIR v. Hasvav, where the
Dean and Chapter of Weilminaer were the real de-
fendants, the latter got a verdict: it is a cafe of im-
portance as to right of Tenantry under Eccletiatti•
cal.Bodiss, and the payment of their fines and fees.

WOOD V. WRIGHT.

Mr. HALT moved, that the proceedings in this
caufe (hould be fet afide for irregularity, as far as re•
fpeeed the
,firri facia: againli the bail. to pity over
the monies levied under the Paid writ agaittfl the bail,
and all the coils, and alto thole of this application.
-The cafe was limply this: Wright, v.han.fit ar•
relied, put in bail to anfwer at the Return ()fair writs
and on the Friday when the writ was returnable, at-
tendedin Court with his bail to render in their dircharve.
He there metthe Plaintiff's Attorney, with whoml,e
entered into terms to pay the debt and coils by in.
fialnsents, and figned a cognovir for that purpole.—
The bail eonficiering themlelves to be difcharged welt
away, and were not a little furprifed at the erecution
coming in on theft. fa. and fweeping away from one
of them 331. I is. for debt and coils. To redrefs that
injury, the prefent application was made. in ex-
tenuation it was contended, that the payment under
the:forage, being negleited. the Attorney for the
plaintiff had done no more than ufual in proceeding
againft the bail. It alto appeared by reference to the
Prothonotory,•that the •rail•piece had been made up,
but was not taken or acknowledged before the Judge.
The Learned Judge. (Marlh4l) was of opinion,
that the whole. of the proceedings, being founded in
irregularity, were void, and ought to be let *fide, and
that the relt ny the rule, as to payment of monies, &c.
be made abfolute.

Two Seamen, belonging to the SYLPII !loop of
war, were tried by a Court Martial on Saturday, for
defertion and Sealing one of the boats, At Guerufey.
They were both fentenced to Death.

Yederday morning, as the workmen were prepar-
ing the royal boxes in the great concert room at the
King's Theatre, for the reception of the Princes, one
of the men, reaching too far, fell to the floor, by which
accident he was fo much bruited as to render it in.
ceifary to convey him to the bofpital.
Wednefday evening, as Mr. HINDRICKS, of Somer.
fet-flreet, Aldgate, was returning horn* from Ed-
monton, in a pott-chaife, he was =coiled by three
footpads, who demanded his money and watch. He
confented to part with his money, but begged to re •
tain hi. watch, it being a family piece, which they
gave up, in lieu of his kreat coat, which was ex-
changed, and they then ran away.
On Wednefday fe'nnight, the long coach which
conveys the paffengers from the Mail Coach Hotel,
Dawfon-ltreet, to the Holyhead packet, at the Pi
geon Houle Dock, was overturned upon the South
Wall, near Dublin. Lord and Lady Convacwass
were in the coach, and fume of their fervants npon
the roof, one of whom was unable to proceed from
his hurt. Lady CON rwomati received Tome coma,
lions in the head, and was obliged to proceed on
foot, in the midll of rain, to the Pigeon houfe (the
coach being too-much injured to proceed); and Mr.
Jou/suns, an attorney, was feverely wounded in the
head, and otherwife bruited.

Fleas.—A few days ago a dreadful fire broke out
in tbeinalt-houfe of Mr. Dowel., arKilifandra, in
Ireland. From the drynefs of the houfes and the
force of the wind, the fury of the fire was incon-
ceivable. It loon communicated with dreadful vin•
lence to his wine and fpii it !loses ; and tome of the
weals bottling, added horrors to the already appal-
ling fcene—in a few minutes the whole was confum.
ed. By the exestions of the inhabitants the dwelling.
bottle h4s been partly raved, and the greatell pail of
the town efcaped from ruin...
EttraCt. of a Leun from Stoney Stratford, dated
April to In the night between Thuifday and Fri.
day lati, a (learn-engine, in the parilh of Cnfgrove,
near this place, employed on the works of the Grand
Junaion Canal, took fire, owing, it is raid, to loin.
hot Ides and cinders bring thrown out carelefsly
near to the wood work of the temporary building
containing the Login?, and, iu a fhort time, all the
wood and other combutlible materials thereof were
entirely confumed. This engine was eretled about a
year ago by the Contrattors, for the immenle em-
bankment or mound of earth, forming by the tide of
the prefent line of the Canal, from Woolveston to
Cnfgrove, on which a new line of canal is intended
to be formed, in order to avoid the lofs.of time and
water occalioncd by four lucks, which will then be-
come ufelefs. A part of the inconceivably great
quantity of earth, which this embankment requires,
is taken (torn a large and deep pit, near the middle
of the valley, which this engine was employed to
drain, that the fprings of water might not obstrud
the workmen : in a Ilion time the pit became full of
water, and it is feared that full two months will be
101 l before the engine can be rebuilt, to refume the
work; but for this accident, this immenfe undertaking
would in all prdbability have been &nailed to June
nest."

On Wednefday IA an accident happened to the
new Ream engine at Chelfea Water Works lately j
crated on Bolton and Watt's principle, which has i
occaloned the old engine there to be fet to work.—
The leather hinge of the valve in the pnion of the _
forcing pump giving way, the fudden jerk of the
cylinder and of the beam Rriking the floor, occation-
ed the joints of the parallel levers to give ways by
which the pump rod is feparated from the beam. It
is not nutty weeks ago, fince the leathers of the pump-
valves gave way, on another occafioo, and the load
of the engine being thereby fuddenly removed, the
working beam ftruck the door with fuch violence as
to break one of the large beams by its fide ; to guard
againft the recurrence of which a fyßem of levant
were that contrived, in that in cafe the beam tirtick
the floor, the communication of Ream from the
boiler to the cylinder would be instantly cut off ;
but this IA: strident thews, that nothing but a better
conUru&ion of the pump valves, with metallic h:naes,
can preferve the whole engine and engine bottle from
detirtuttion. The Ream cylinder pißon rod is alfo
much bent by the violent pitching of the engine, and
feveral days will be neceffary to complete thl tepairs '
now going on ; in the mean time. by work ng the
old engine conftantly day and night, St is bop d that
the public will iisitaiu au inconvenience from the
want Lf waver.
