COURT OF CHANCERY, JAN. 21.
CONDUCT OF THE RDOIITRARS.
The Loan CHANCELLOR, on entering the Court, said, I beg that
Registrars will not put cases into the paper for judgment without
wy directions. I find there are two put into the paper this morning for
judgment, although I made no order to such effect. I said Saturday
,tvi Monday. The consequence of this is, that I see parties are brought
here, no doubt inconveniently as well as unnecessarily, because I am not
prepared to dispose of those cases.
PAGE r. 11100114
This care stood next in the paper to the judgments on exceptions, and
they having been passed over, Page v. Broom was called on by the
Registrar.
Mr Peevs was ready to oppose the exceptions.
The LORD CHANCELLOR.—WeII, will you go on ?
Mr. Pseys.—lt is for the other side to go on, my Lord.
The LORD Cuaxcessoa.—But there is no other side here.— ( A
pause.)—l must strike it out lam afraid.
Mr. ParT9.--If your Lordships deals with it at all, we must take
the order, overruling the exceptions.
The LORD CHANCELLOR.—The other side ought to be heard. I
cannot sit all day doing nothing. It is very hard on me.
Mr. parrs—lt is probable that the two judgments having been put
.4t the head of the paper that has been delivered out, may have induced
ge:,tletnen to think this case would not be called on so soon as it has
been.
The LORD CHANCELLOR—Oh, so it may; then we will take the
next case.
VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, JAN. 21.
DAY AND MARTIN'S BLACKING—INJUNCTION.
DAT AND MARTIN V. BILLING.
The SOLICIT OR-GgN TAAL. at the sitting of the Court this morn-
ing, applied for an injunction to restrain the defendant Billing, a printer
in Bermondsey, from printing counterfeit or colourable labels, in imita-
tion of those used by the plaintiffs on their blacking bottles. The bill
and affidavits set out the labels of the plaintiffs, which went into a long
detail of the excellent qualities of the blacking manufactured by the
plaintiff's, and also the labels printed by the defendant, the only dif-
ference in which was, that the plaintiffs' labels stated the blacking to be
manufactured " by" Day and Martin, while those of the defendant
stated the blacking to be " equal to" Day and Martin—die words
" equal to" being written in such small letters as to be entirely unper-
ceived by the casual observer.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR, after the labels bad been handed to his
Honour, observed that there was some slight distinction, but, prime
facie, he could entertain no doubt that people would take one foe the
other.
The Soracrroa-Gaxtnet. said that such labels as those which had
been printed by the defendant would deceive half the lawyers in the
kingdom.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR—Aye, and all the shoe-blacks. Take
your Injunction, Mr. Solicitor.—lnjunction granted.
COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Wurignisiss, JAIL 21.
At the sitting of the Court, this morning, Lord Tenterden pro.
pounced judgment in the following cases :
DON DIN. OF THD BISHOP Or ROCHRSTIR V. DIARSNAIL
This was an action tried before the Lord Chief Baron, and the qua.
tion to be decided was, whether or not a lease granted by a predecessor
of the present Bishop, in the year 1794, to some part of the family of
Lord Romney, was or was not a valid lease. The verdict was in favour
of the plaintiff; which verdict the Court this morning affirmed.
DUKE OF BRIDOEWATER'S CANAL.
THE LINO V. TRAFFORD AND OTHERS.
The defendants in this case, several in number, had been convicted
of a nuisance in having made several erections on the banks of the
Duke of Bridgewater's Canal, and thereby causing an obstruction to the
navigation. Against this conviction they appealed to this Court. On
the hearing of which a great number of legal objections were raised, and
the Court took time to consider its judgment.
Lord TExTenvitst this morning, after going into a full detail of the
objections, said the Court sex of opinion that the conviction was good,
for no ordinary course of water could be impeded by one party to the
injury of another, judgment must therefore be for the Crown.

BOOTH V. stacrant.awa.
The plaintiff sought to recover double rent from a tenant for a term
after the tenant had given up possession of the premises. It appeared
that due notice had been given to the tenant to quit, and not having
done so, the landlord claimed double rent for the time he temalned after
the expiration of the notice. In addition to this he insisted upon
double rent for a long period after the tenant quitted, on the ground
that he had received no notice of the tenant's intention to give up pos-
session after the double rent commenced.
The point having been reserved for the consideration of the Court,
Air. Pollock this day contended that the defendant continued in the
character of tenant after the commencement of double rent. and that he
was bound to give notice of his intention to quit as in the firstinatance;
in short, that he had renewed his tenancy at • double rent.
Lord TENTERDBM said, the words of the Act of Parliament de-
clared that the tenant should pay double rent whilst he remained in
possession of the premises after the expiration of the notice to quit.
The Act did not extend to any period beyond the possession.
Mr. POLLOCK mid, in a legal sense, the defendant might be taken
to be in possession whilst he remained on the premises, and be was to
be considered a tenant until he gave a regular notice to quit.
The Court held that double rent could not be claimed for any time
after the defendant gave up possession of the premises.
COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JAw. 21.
(Sittings in Banco.)
DOB V. LUDLOW.
Sir. Sergeant WILDE, on the part of the plaintiff, stated that this
was a special argument, arising out of • point which had been reserved
at the trial. The fact was as follows:—A testator had devised a part of
his copyhold estate to a female relative for her life, and after her death
to go to the plaintiff, with the rest of his real and personal estate. The
question for the consideration of the Court was, whether, as the testator
had specially mentioned in his will only a pan of his copyhold property,
the words " the residue of the whole of my real and personal estate,"
were sufficient, in that general construction of them, to give the plaintiff
a claim on the whole of the copyhold lands and tenements, which had
been possessed by the testator. The Learned Counsel argued that they
were quite sufficient to show the intention of the devisor.
Mr. Sergeant Scatwzw, on the contrary, held, that as only part of
the copyhold had been mentioned in the will, and the other omitted, the
plaintiff could not claim the whole of the estate, particularly as no sur-
render had been made.
The opinion of the Court was, that the surrender to the uses of the
will was not necessary, since the passing of the 55th of Geo. 111. and
the general terms of the will were sufficient to give the plaintiff a right
to the whole residue of the property.
COURT OF ADMIRALTY, Jew. 21.
(Before Sir C. Rostwsox, assisted by two Masters of the Trinity.
House.)
SALVAGE.
THE CITY OF EDINBURGH STEAMER.
This was a case of salvage. The suit was at the instance of some fisher-
men of the port of Blakeney, against the owners of the above vessel, said,
with her cargo, to be worth 33,0001. to recover, by a decree of this Court,
such salvage as the Court might consider them entitled to receive. The
case of the salvors was, that on 13th Jan. last the vessel above-mentionsd
was seen approaching the port of Blakeney in great distress, and vary
rough weather. She had on board about 180 passengers, had lost bee
best bower anchor and cable, and both her machines disabled. She was
coming in shore and in such • course that she must inevitably have
been wrecked hail it not been for Baynes, one of the salvors, who by
waving his jacket, warned her off She then stood out to sea, and was
for some time lost sight of in a shower of snow. At night she was
seen, however, at anchor with blue lights and other signals of dis-
tress hung out. That on the next morning the vessel was so strained
that she might be seen through in the machine-room, as the weather
still continued so violent that the salvors were prevented from rem .
ing the vessel, by certain destruction being inevitable. The wind,
however, abating on the 15th, the salvors put off, and reached the ves-
sel just as Captain Fraser, the master, was preparing to run her on
shore. They further alleged, that on their bearding, the Captain told
them that if they would get the vessel into the harbour he would re.
ward them handsomely, as she contained the value of 33,0001. They
sounded the bar of the harbour, and at length got the vessel in. The
owners contended that the signals which the salvors thought signals of
distress were merely for a pilot, being those usually made for that pur-
pose; but that although the weather was not so bad as to prevent mari-
ners from reaching the vessel, the salvors prevented some sailors doing
so who had volunteered to go in the life boat ; that the salvors had said
it was not worth their while to go as pilots except to signals of distress,
and that the owners had &heady offered the salvors more than the usual
pay for pilots.
Dr. ADDAMS having been heard in favour of the salvors, and the
Kiwo's ADVOCATE and Dr. Put Lsiseoas in favour of the owners,
Sit C. Ronixsow gave judgment. The case turned upon these two
questions :—Was it possible, on the 13th and 14th, for the salvors to go
tato the vessel ? Was any danger incurred by them on the 15th, so
as to entitle them to any high remuneration ? It was upon these two
points thE he should be glad to have the opinion of the two gentlemen
who assisted him. (Here the two Masters gave it as their opinionythat,
although there would have been difficulty and danger on the thirteenth
and fourteenth in going out to the vessel, there had been on the part of
the salvors a want of exertioh, and not the fair trial which, at► pilots,
it was incumbent upon them to make : there had been no daqger what-
ever encountered on the 15th, and all the service they rendered, was as
pilots.) Sir C. Robinson said be concurred in this opinion. He was
against any remuneration further than for pilotage, and (without taking
into consideration the charge of misconduct on the part of the boatmen,
which• the owners should have brought forward mote distinctly) he
should pronounce for the boatmen receiving the sum tendered to them by.
the captain, without their being obliged, as they were poor men, to pay
any CMGS.

taper is read. In all the colonies, and in all countries where
Englishmen reside, this NEWS FROM HONE will confer
peculiar interest on the STAR. The circle of every six days'
STAR will present a complete onne of the kin m.
As an integral part of this Panorama of the mpire, the
Conductors of the STAR earnestly invite original communica-

the rates and amounts--and in particular, they desire
to be apprized of all cases in which parochial allowances, and
the comforts of poor-houses and parish cottages have been
increased. They wish to see the Press instrumental at once
in making real grievances known, and in doing justice to
all acts of concession and liberality. For means of doing
their duty, the Conductors of the STAR appeal, therefore,

CARLISLE JOURNAL, JAN. B.
It is a wretched fallacy to say that a repeal of the Union would be
injurious to England ; we believe, on the contrary, it would be a great
benefit to this country. Ireland has never paid the expense of its owe
government, and it has inundated England with Its wretched pauper
inhabitants—not through any fault of their own, but through our mis-
pvernment—and a repeal of the Union would take from us these bar.
thins, and secure to Ireland a cheep government, and a happy people.
Lawanoin.—New year's day was ushered in here, as usual, In the
good old way. A large fire was kindled on the preceding evening at
the market-cross, and as the town-clock struck twelve, almost every in-
dividual had a handsome service of mountain dew ; and, notwithstand-
ing the severity of the than, almost every one had the bottle primed
to welcome the lira foot.—ln the cams of the forenoon there was a
procession of the friends of Reform, with music and flags, bearing
suitable inscriptions, sack as " No Corn Laws," " Free Trade, and
da." The procession proceeded through the principal streets sod
lanes of Old and New Lsnghelm lam orderly inanoer,etopplog et In-

withstanding of one adverse circumstance—the high price of coal

BLACKBURN GAZETTE, JAI?. 19.
It is the wish of many gentlemen that our beautiful parish char&
should be restored, in every respect, to its former state, and the es-
petted defrayed by public subscription. Is this opinion the Rev. Dr.
Whittaker, our Vicar, perfectly coincides, conceiving the plan infi-
nitely preferable to a rate upon the parish. The Doctor has offered to
contribute 1001. The Churchwardens are obtaining estimates of the

probable expenseVs:lmomtge.—ln our Paper of the 224 December we gave
the particulars of three fellows throwing vitriol upon a young woman
and two nsen in Samlesbury, sad we are glad to find that Samuel Smith

and be is committed to take his trial.

A contract had been entered into by Messrs. Braithwaite and Eric-
-101114 with the directors of the Liverpool and Manchester railway, to
ammtroct two engines. cachet which should be capable of conveying
heel tons from Liverpool to Manchester in two hours, with a cm-
gumption of coke not exceeding half a pound per tort per mile. Their
engines were to have been delivered to the railway company some
months ago; but after repeated trials, being found incapable of per-
forming the work contracted for, very extensive alterations were made
in them at Liverpool. These alterations having been completed, the
engine called William the Fourth, was yesterday again brought out foe
trial. Being loaded with forty tons (gross weight) she ;smiled a few
minutes after ten o'clock, and, after unveiling two bouts, at the rate of
about five miles an hour, was, in consequence. left at a siding near

The deposits in the Norfolk Savings Bank, last year, were 23,0981.

positors.
BURIN—At the adjourned Sessions, came on the trial of Joseph fia-
vill.who was indicted foe distributing two letters in Suadishall, Suffolk,
of which the following are copies:—
" Will you Farmers and Parson pay us better for our labour ? If
you wont, we will put you in bodily " SWING."
" 0 ye Church of Knglind Parsons, who strain at a Host and Swat-
low a Camel. Woe—Woe—Woe be to you! Ye shall one day have
your reward.') [Not signed.]
Mr. &tote stated the case to the Court and Jury ; and contended
that the defendant was indictable at common law for distributing the
above letters, which tended to disturb the peace, and called the following
witnesses ;
Elisabeth Ray—l live at Sandishall. On the 16th December last
I saw the defendant, who was riding in a gig. I perceived he had •
paper in his band. I cannot say whether he saw me ; but he might
have done, as I was in the garden close by him. It was about ten
o'clock in the morning. I saw him throws piece of paper on the road.
I picked It up, and found two pieces of paper. [Here witness produced
the above letters, which she stated were the papers she picked up.] I
gave the papers to my husband. I know the defendant.
hir. Ray (husband of last witness) also swore to the letters.
Mr. Brown stated that he, with the assistance of the constables, took
the defendant into custody, and found pieces of torn paper upon him.
Mr. Gunning addressed the Court. and contended that the case
ought not to go to the Jury, as it was clearly not within any of the
statutes for sending threatening letters, inasmuch as the letters were
directed to no one, and contained no threatening to burn, to injure, or
to extort money. He also contended, that the defendant was not in.
actable at the common law, and cited a variety of authorities in sup-
port •f his arguments
Mr. Amon, who was also counsel for the defendant, in a most able i,
and eloquent manner addressed the Court, In a speech upwards of an
hour's length, and contended that there was no case for the Jury ; lst,
On the ground that there was no actual offence, and no attempt to
commit an offence cognisable at law ;--that there was no calling oriel
the labourers;—no exhortation to riot ;—and no excitement to crime :
nor was there that vicious intention, without which the act was not'
criminal; and he went fully into the law of misdemeamur, and ex-
amined all the authorities respecting it. 2nd. He contended that
even if it was an offence, the indictment was bad in the statement of
the inducement, and in its inuendos, 3rd. That the papers were set
forth incorrectly in the indictment.
The Court over-ruled the objections, and left the defendant to
bring the flatten of law before the King's Bench, If he thought
proper.
Mr Gummi then addressed the Jury, and went into a full state-
ment of the circumstances, and explanation of the letters, together
with the meaning of the term Swing," and said there was no evi-
dence of a malicious intention, nor did the defendant intend any mis-
chief, however mistake. he might have acted.
Several witnesses were called to speak to the defendant's character,
some of whom had known him for upwards of thirty years.
The Court summed up the evidence, and the Jury, after a quarter
of an hour's deliberation, returned a verdict of Guilty—but, front the
respectabili y of his character, recommended him to mercy. The
Court sentenced the defendant to twelve months' imprisonment, and
a Sue of 501.
Mr. SaviU is, it appears, a religious enthusiast, anti when taken up.
the Newspapers converted a goose into a swan, and denominated him
the identical Mr. Swum.
The Beetles muter Sessions commenced on Mond, before Sir
Thpmas Gooch, who said, in his address to the Grand Jury, that he
felt assured that all men who loved their country as be did would act
at the present crisis with' firmness, in suppressing tumult and disorder
whenever they show themselves ; for although be was anxious to see
the poor made contented, and raised above want by their industry, be
hoped that nAhing would ever be conceded to force ; and he declared'
he would rathei forfeit his life than give an atom through intimidation.
The worthy Baronet said be was led to make these remarks front the
case of the lye persons who stood chased with a riot at Kessingland.
But the rioters alluded to by the Chairman were all acquitted.

Bow.avaarrr.—lresterday,W. H. Morris, Attorney, of No. 43,Lin-
orha's Inn Fields, waa brought before the sitting Magiatrate, Mr.
IfitnenuLt., for an assault en the person of his dark, a respectable

*king youth of 17.
The young man stated that between the hours of twelve and one on
Thursday, his employer, Morels, for no other provocation than a mere
verbal error, struck him twice in the face, that once before he had
struck him, but not so violently, and that he constantly insulted him
with the most brutal language. The witnesses called on corroborated
the youth's statement.
A brother of the complainant's, an Irishman, being taunted by Mor-
ris whilst giving testimony, with the generous exclamation, " your
Worship, that's Irish evidence," the worthy Magistrate rahtad him,
telling him that " Irish evidence was as good as English or any other
evidence."
Morris, having called his only witness, a mere lad, and having, in
his defence, aggravated rather than extenuated the complaint, the ex.
cellent Magistrate, after a severe and eloquent animadversion against
those private tyrants who take punishment into their own hands, after,
in the most fatherly manner, telling the youthful complainant that he
was convinced of the honesty, fairness, and forbearance aids conduct,
ordered Morris to find bail, to answer for the insult at the next

Sessitios.
MAlLlolaaall•tratitS.—MADAlll 74111.—A young an
was brought in custody to this office a few days ago, charged with
stealing and disposing of, on his own account, sod for his own use, the
casts of several figures in plaster of Paris, and other compositions, the
property of Mr. Papers, the celebrated Italian modeller, In whose
service the prisoner lived as a pmreeyman ; and the offence charged
being clearly supported by evidence, the young man was fully commit.
ted to Ncwgate, to take his trial for the felony.
Yesterday, Mr. Papers applied again to the sitting magistrate, for
advice bow to act in a case in which he had to charge the young man
In prison with an offence of a much more enormous nature than that
for which he had been committed to take his trial.
Since the investigatiou of the former use, Mr. Papers said, he had
discovered that several of " Madame Vestris's legs' were exhibited
for sale in the shop windows of various artists about town, and on an
inspection of these legs, he immediately recognized them as his pro.
perty, and that they must have been stolen from his premises by the
prisoner, sod sold by him.
The magistrate inquired what sort of legs they were?
Mr. Papera said, that they were caned Madame Vestries leg to a
little above the knee, and including the foot.
The magistrate asked if such casts could not have been made by
other artists, so as to render It difficult fur Mr. Papers to identify them
as belonging to trim?
Mr. Papers said, that it was impossible these eases could have ben
made by any other artist, because be was the only person to wham
Madame Vestris bad ever "stood" to have a east taken of her kg,
and from that cast he bad made one mould or model, and only one,
and that was always kept with the greatest care under lock and key,
except when required to be used in his model-roam, so that no person
could possibly obtain access to it except some one in his employ ; and
as for any attempt at imitation, that was impossible to do with suc-
cess, for so beautiful and perfect was the symmetry of the original. that
it was treat it alone the various natural niceties of the complete whole
could be acquired, sad to perfectioo feinted.
The Magistrate asked Mr. Papers if he kept these legs ready made
in his establishment, and if in that state they were steles by the
prisoner ?
Mr. Papers said no, they were too rare and valuable an article to
be kept ready made in the ordinary way of common shop-legs, and
were only made "to order"—that ie, when especially ordered by ar-
tists or amateurs ; and the only way in which the primmer could have
got hold of them was in private—that is, by taking an opportunity in
secret of making a pair for birnseirfrom the mould, and carrying them
off ekndestinely. There could be no doubt, Mr. Papers said, that the
wee the person who had caused the distukbeti actteres
r:lsMarbe exposed in this Ameba manlier; because the persons who
had purchased them described the young man who bad sold them the
legs, and that description exactly answered the prisoner.
The Magistrate asked if the legs bad been sold muds under their
value ?
Mr. Papers said no, they had oft, for this ream, that such a leg was
always certain to fetch a high price In the market; and bead.., the
legs of this lady were in very gnat demand. for a vast cumber of gen-
tlemen (and these were chiefly the purchasers) not wishing to separate
the right the from the left, generally purchased the per,
Do that both
legs usually went together to the same customer.
The Magistrate said, that as the prisoner was already committed to
take his trial for the first offence, the present charge, however heinous,
could not now be proceeded in, but Mr. Papers might, if he pleased.
put 1' Madame Vestries legs" in the indictment under a fresh meet.
and then probably the prisoner would not be suffered to walk off with-
out some pimishment ea this charge as well as the other.
Mr. Papers thanked the Magistrate he his advice, and said that he
should adept the suggestion, by Introducing the legs at the foot of the
indictment ; but be requested to know if it would be neomeary to pro-
duce the legs before the gentlemen of the Grand Jury.
The Magistrate said that it eartaisly would, and before the Judge at
the trial also, as be, Mr. Papers. would be required to identify them.
Mr. Papers said that be could very easily identify the mind so could
several other witnesses • but bow was be tort the legs foto Court?
The Magistrate said:that it would only be mammary to subparts the
proem panelist of the lege to produce them at the trial, and then any
one who hem theta might identify them.
Mr. Papers said be should pursue this course with the legs, and thee
stepped out of the office.
Limon gala..—Yestaday, a tradesman, accompanied by • Sole
boy, came to the Office in the course of the day, ea said that, as the
latter was pasting High-street that day, he picked up a 101. note, and
took it into the applicant's shop, and inquired if It belonged to any of
the family, having found it opposite the house. The note had evi-
deatly been dropped by some stranger in pawing along, and applicant,
unwilling to restore it to the boy, considered it the most proper mode to
bring it to this Office, in the event of the owner making application
tor it.
The magistrate advised the applicant to advertise the note, and if no
owner came forward to claim it, then the boy who found it in the street
was entitled to have it restored to him.
The applicant said that he should follow the magistrate's ativ:ce,
merely deducting the charge of the advertimment hoe the note.
