SULLIVAN V. HUTCHINS.

This was an Appeal from the equity side of the
Court of Chancery in Ireland. The Loh') CHANCEL..
LON said, that the decree being founded on an Irish
Statute, the 10th of William 111. this Court had no
jurisdiction ; he therefore dismissed the Appeal.

ARKWRIGHT V. TIIE MARQUIS OF lIIJNTLY.
.The appellant in this case became purchaser of part
of the estates of the late :Marquis of Ormond, and sub-
sequently declined completing the contract, on the,
grounds that the title could not be made good, on ac-i
count of an indenture connected with it being usurious.
The LORD CMANCELLOR, in affirming the decree,
said that there was nothing usurious on the face of the
deed, therefore external evidence could not be admitted
to chew that it was an usurious contract. There was a
great deal of mystery involved in it, and math reason
to suspect that, to evade the penalty of the law, there
had been much confidence put in the honour of the
parties; yet, to establish a usurious contract, it must
appear evidently so on die face of it.

Much of the annoyance, of which complaints have
been so frequently and justly made, at the Coach Stand,
Piccadilly, will be in future avoided, a new regulation
having commenced on Monday last. All the cads are
done away with, arid two persons appointed, to pre-
vent any stage remaining there more than ten minutes.
From the fineness of the weather, the crops of hay
throughout the kingdom have been got together in
excellent order, and with uncommon rapidity ; but the

Fries.—Yesterday morning, about three o'clock, an'
alarming fire broke out in the premises of Mr. James
Gray, baker and mealman, in Great Peter-street, West
Minster, which, from its being contiguoth to a timber
yard and carpenters shops, caused the utmost fears
for the safety of the aurrounding houses. It began in
the bakehouse. owing, to the oven being overheated,
and some coals that were deposited over the oven hav-
ing caught fire. Fortunately, by the speedy arrival of
the engines, and a plentiful supply of water, the flames
were arrested, and prevented from spreading farther
than Mr. Gray's premises, which are • materially da-
maged in the rear.—A fire broke. out yesterday morn-
ing, in the Green-lanes, Stoke Newington, on tl.e pre-
osises of Mr. Massey, a bullion-dealer, of Leadenball-
street. Mr. M. had just finished building four houses,
near the end of Church-sane, and the workmen were
going to leave to-day, when one of the houses was dis-
covered to be on fire, which, owing to the dry state of,
the materials, was spreading rapidly to the adjoining,
houses. Persons employed themselves in • throwing'
water with pails and buckets, but without effect, and the
whole of Mr. Massey's houses were enveloped in the
flames, and all attempts to arrest their progress proved
abortive. Before the engines could arrive from town,
three out of the lour were completely burnt down. No
cause can be assigned for the conflagration.
