While the latter was attacked in front, Major Detrio
passed the Blab, near the mill of Rosula, with a bat-
talion of Esterhazy infantry, and two companies of
Saxon light infantry.
a Lieutenant-Colonel Latour, of the Staff, con-
ducted these eight companies against the right flank
of the enemy. On this occasion, Captain Rcenig, or
the Saxon light infantry, supported by Capt.Versay,
of the Bisterhaay mfantry, took a canncn, a twelve-

the architect, for having, in the front of his house in
Lincoln's-inn-fields, a nuisance. in the shape of a vi-
raada. The Learned Gentleman stated, that he
founded his present application to the Court on the
14th of the King, better known by tht name of the
44 Building Act;" an Act of the greatest utility, net
only for protecting houses from the effects of any fire
that might take place in the neighbourhood, by
means of good party-walls, but also useful for the
purpose of promoting a symmetry in the appearance
of our streets and buildings.

Mr. JEICYLL—." my Lori, I am old enough to re-
-1 member Mr. Serjeant Whittaker's eulogy on it. He

ing of a fire, for the purpose of going to see k ! He

Such was Mr. Serjeant Whittaker's eulogy on the
Act, and it speaks volumes. The Learned Gentle-
, man thin went on to detail the clauses of this' so-
t
much-eulogized Act, as well as those circumstances
which had led to the present application. The Act
set forth how far the. proprietor or owner of a house
i might trespais on the street, or how far he might
affect the senor:ll symmetry of the surrounding or
neighbouring buildings. Mr. Soane, of Lincoln's-
inn-fields, t 4.4 ih the estimation of Mr. Wm. Kin-
naird, the District Surveyor, violated this Act of
Parliament, in erecting in front of his house a eines-
; da, which /projected intollie street to some consider-
' able distance, some dire:. feet and a halt Clothed
as Mr. Kinaaird was with the character of District
Surveyor, he applied to the Magistrates to have Mr.
Simne compelled to remove this nuicance from the
front_of his house. Ihe matter had come on before

Mr. Read and Mr. Nares ; and, in the course of the
discussion which took place on that occasion, a good
dell had been admitted on the part of Nfr,
