various articles of property. Mrs. Rainsford was walking on the
evening of the day in question, about nine o'clock, along Great
Russell-street, Bloomsbury, when the prisoner came up. with ethers,
and, after Tadao, attempts to tear her reticule from her hands, at
length sanctities!. by the string breaking, when he ran away.
To rebut this, Mr. Cox, a publican, was caned, who swore that
the prisoner, with two others, came into his haute about a quarter
after eight o'clock, and did not go away again until half-Past ten.
Mr. Justice Boamonst summed up the evidence to the Jury,
and put it to them to say if they believed the witness? After a few
minutes ceniukatios, they requested that Mr. Cox should be again
called, which wife done, andebe was asked if he could swear that
the prisoner was not out of the house during the time in question ?
At first he said, no—that he only knew it from what his wife said;,
but be after added. that he could swear he was in tliehouse at
half-past eight. The Jury found him Na

Patrick 3fallie was put to the bar, on an indictment charging

Gentleman who was called in to the deceased. stated, that on eta-
ntinationeof the body, he observed there was an appearance of die..
ease about it • and he was also of opinion, that the injury had not
been sufficiently violent to cause death. There was no external
injury observable. He considered the diseased state of the vessels
of the heart were the immediate cause of death.

THE PLAGUE.
MILFORD, SOUTH WALES, JUNE 28.
The Triune, Dunbar, has arrived :at our quarantine
station from Alexandria, in Egypt, which place she left
on the 17th of April. Occasional cases of plague occur
there, and she is furnished wills a foul bill of health.
Captain Dunbar states, that when at Alexandria, a boy
that he shipped in the Mediterranean was taken ill on
board ; be was an Irish lad ; he kept him on board
twenty-four hours, when, as commanded by the Con-
sul, he was carried to the Hospital at Alexandria,
where he died in about eight days—it is thought of the
plague, from the symptoms which he described. What
will Dr. Maclean say to this? All now on board the
Triune are quite well.

PARLIAMENTARY PAPERS.
COMAII7I-11 ROO MS.
The Select Committee of the House of Commons, on
Committee Rooms, and printed Papers, have made
their Report ; in which it is stated, that in consequence
of the increase of Parliamentary business, and the
great number of Public Committees. additional Rooms
are wanted. During the present Session, twenty-three
Public Committees have been appointed, some of which
sat for several months ; and that on a single day, four
Committees met on public, and thirty on private busi-
ness t, nineteen of the latter having been fixed to meet in
one room. The Committee, thereore, recommends that
,immediate steps be taken, to enlarge the present accom-
modation, by an addition of ten Committee Rooms, at
the least, conveniently situated, and of a size adequate
to the purposes for which they are intended. The Com-
mittee also recommends a new Library, as the present
room is too small. The site recommended for these new
buildings, is the Court bounded by the Thames. the
Long Gallery, the Painted Chamber, and the House
`of Commons.
BOMBAZINES AND NORWICH CRAPES.
According to a return to an order of the House of
Commons of the 2d of June last, the value of the Bdm-
bazines and Norwich Crapes exported from London
in the year 1822, was 101,8011. Is. 6d. in 1823,
72,4411.14:. 6d. and in 1824, 160,9451. 16s. 6d. The
value of Bombazines and Norwich Crapes exported
from Liverpool was, in 1822, 68,9021. lls. in 1823,
50.6431. 10s. and in 1824, 70 8481. 14s.
NEW CHURCHES.
The charges and expenses of the Commissioners for
the erection of new Churches, from the 25th of March,
1824, to the 25th of March, 1825, amounted to
3,339 t. 16s. 3d. this included the salaries, tent and
*taxes, law expenses, surveys, &c. Ste.

The Daum frigate (new) built at Milford, is to be
'commissioned at Plymouth, without delay, in order
'ti/ ascertain whether a vessel sent immediately to sea,
will prove more datable than one that has first been
laid up in ordinary. It is now the-practice to allow
new ships to Continue in harbour for some time before
they are called into active service, it being supposed
'that by these means they acquire a due seasoning.—
The present experiment will demonstrate whether such
seasoning be necessary, and should it be found that
ships sent to sea immediately. on leaving the stocks,
are equally durable with these which are laid up for a
time in ordinary, the advantages which must arise
from the discovery will be very great, especially in
time of war, when hasty equipments are frequently
*3O necessary.

. COURT OF APPEAL&
• DOUSE OF LORDS, JUNE 30.
11URTIIWAIT6 v. SENKINSON.
The following are the circumstances of this case, which
has gone through the ordeal of two Courts of Law, and
ell the Courts of Equity, and on which not only the
Law Courts differed, but the Equity Courts differed
among themselves, and from the two Law Courts, which
strongly exemplifies the uncertainty of the law. Thomas
Murthwaite died in 1808, having devised all his real
and personal estates to his three nieces for life, and after)
the decease of them, or either of them/ the issue to en-
joy the mother's share, for life, in like manner. And if
all the nieces, and their issues, save one, should die
without issue, then such surviving niece to receive the
rents, &c. for life, and afterwards the issue of such niece
and her heirs, and on failure thereof to the next male
heir. The matter came before the Vice-Chancellor in
1818, who directed a case to be laid before the Judges
of the Court of Common Pleas, as to what estate the
nieces were entitled to by virtue of the will. They were
of opinion, that the nieces 'took only an estate for life;
le the Freehold and personal property, and t':e Vice-
Chancellor issued a Decree in conformity to this opi-.
Won ; from thi., an appeal was made to the Lord Chan-
cellor, who submitted the above question ti the Court
of King's Bench, who were of opinion, that the nieces
took an estate tail in the freehold estates, and absolute
interests in the personal property, and that George Bar-
surd, who is at present the 'only issue of the nieces, has
at present no estate in either of the properties, but should
he survive the nieces he would be tenant in tail of the
freehold, but have no interest in the leasehold estates.
—The Lord Chancellor, after mature deliberation,
decreed that the nieces had an estate tail in the freehold
property, but took only an estate for life in the lease-
hold property ; from this an Appeal was m*de to the
House of Lords.

The LORD CHANCELLOR, after going through all the
circumstances as here stated, said, that he had heard
no ai guments in that House to induce him to change
the opinion he had first formed of it—he was guided
by this principle, that whenever an estate is devised
to A. and his issue, with remainder, as soon as issue is
born, the ancestor has an estate in tail. It was evi-
dent, on the face of the will, that the testator intended
that both properties should go to the issue ; in this
case the freehold property must, of necessity, go to
the issue ; but it would be otherwise with the per-
sonal property, if the nieces were entitled to an tabus-
lute interest in it, and the intention of the testator
might be thereby frustrated. His Lordship concluded
by moving that the decree be affirmed, which ssas
agreed to.
