Mr. BaOUGHAM AND THE PUBLIC CHARITIES.—The
extent of the service which Mr. Bnoucateu has confer-
red on the community, by the Act of Parliament passed
some years ago for regulating and recovering charities,
may be appreciated by the lollowing fact: By a late
decision in the Court of Chancery, the lease of the coal
.mini belonging to St. Bees' school, in Cumberland,
which Lord Ler:ennui became possessed of from his
ancestors, dated 1742, for a term of 867 years, has been
bet aside as not tenable. The consequence is, that Lord
LONSDALE has not only to pay several thousand pounds
in lieu of rent, up to the filing of the bill (1821). but,
whereas, before this proceeding, he was paying merely
a nominal rent of 31. 10s. per annum, be now accepts a
lease on a certain tent of 3001. a year, and subject to
such other tonnage, rents or charges, as may be agreed
upon by indifferent pencil's skilled in colliery affaus.—

LORD MAYOR'S COURT, Seer. 11.
,oe--
MYVELL O MACICIINSI7L.
This was an action brought by the Plnintilturtecover
he sum of 1,3101. 14;. 3J. lodged by the defendant in
.Coutts's bank, the defendant owing plaintiff more then
that sum. The action was brought by nation of a very
ancient custom, which obtains in London (and in that
City alone). If a debt be contracted in the City, and
the debtor leave the:jurisdiction of this Court, the cre•
ditor may attach any money or goods belonging to him
which he can discover within the City. If he recovers
before the money is paid, he must give security to the
Court, that if the defendant dispute the matter within a
gear and a day, he ( he plaintiff) shall answer such suit.
But the bank of Messrs. Couto, where Mackenzie had
lodged,the above sum, being without the City.,notke of
this action was served upon one of the partners ashen in
the City transacting business; and the Recoanza ruled,
after hearing the argument, of Messrs. BOLLAND and
Lew on either side, that this service pithin the City
*ought the ease under jurisdiction of she enlist.
Mr. Wilkinson, a clerk in Con ts's bank, said the de-
fendant had lodged in the bank the sum of 1,3101.14 r. 3 d.
and the Jury, under the direction, of the Recorder,
,found•a verdict for the plaintiff, to that amount.

SIR WU. DARDS TODD, ENT. 1•• COM' LINSINGIN.
This was an action uisdrr similar circumstances, to
recover a suns lodged by defendant (*ho was indebted
more than its amount to the plaintiff) in the bank of
Messrs. Hoare, of Lombard-street. It appeared that
the defendant had left the country, and chit Sir Wm.
Todd had brought an action against him for its recovery
in the Court of King's Bench, Westminster, end reco-'
vered, the defendant suffering judgment to go by default.
The Itscostord, under these circumstance!, directed
the Jury to return the r verdict for the defendant, as.
the cause of actin did not arise in the city. It would
not, however, prejudice the plaintiff's claim, if ever the
defendant returned to Cheat Britain, xs he could sue up
execution on the Count's person, by virtue of the judg-
ment of the Court of King's Bencfl.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Unman 11.

tin KING V. AMUCK AND ANOTAIIL

Mr. CLARKSON moved the Court, that defeddants,
JoKn Block and Hartley Ackland, against whom the
Grand Jury bad found true bills for keeping a common
gaming house, in King-street, St. James's, be required
to put in extraordinary bail, did give 48 hours notice
to the prosecutor. The application was grounded upon
an affidavit, stating, that if the defendants were allowed
to put in the usual bail, they would in all probability
forfeit their recognizance: from sessions to sessions, and
thus avoid coming to trial. The affidavit also stated,
that the defendant Ackland was likewise the proprietor
of the gambling establishment lately discovered in the
city of London; aad it was represented, that if the do.
fendants were to barricade themselves in their premises,
it would require a considerable force to take them ;ntp
custody, from the manner in which their establishment
was secured.

The CHAIRMAN inquired whether any bait had been
put in, is the course of the prosecution; and whether it
had been instituted by the pariah or by a peigawiedi-
vidual?

Mr. Cii.a.axaos said that no bail had u yet been
given; the prissecution, he believed, was commenced
by a person who had lost a considerable sum of money.
The CKAIIIKAN thOUSht it would be right to wait
until the end of the Ses,ions. if the defenJants did not
come in to give bail before that period, perhaps the
Court ought to depart from the usual course, and de-
mand extraordinary bail. At present he would'merely
make an order, requiring them to come in and give
,notice of bail, reserving to himself the consideration of
the amount.

The Cover was occupied during the remainder of
the day hearing cases of assault, which were destitute
of any importance or interest except to the litigants
themselves. Nearly all the cases in the traverse paper
being disposed of, the Jury were discharged until Fri-
day morning.

, COURT OW COMIIOII PLIAS.—The workmen are now
employed altering and enlarging the Court of Games hens In
%Westminster ileU. The new Sergeants, learned in the law, require
mare room than the Court provided for them, and the seats must
be increased for their agenatmodatioi.

TRUANT AT WILL—From a decision of Mr. Justice
Past at the Maidstone Maims, k appears that a tenant at will, oc-
cupying land front a person bolding it by lease, becomes liable, who.
tber be knows any thing oldie lease ee not, to whatever conditions
it may contain.

Tunic HUNDRID AND Fink YIA RS At 0.-The pro-
portion and compatative value of the different kinds of
stock in Ross-shire, in Scotland, about three centuries
.and a half ago, may be collected from the follow
-
jug authentic record in the Acts Doesixorates
p. 273. In 1492, the Lords of Council decree and
deliver, that Huchone Ross of Kilravock, and his son
shall restore, content, and pay to Alexander Urquhart,
Sheriff of Cromarty, and his tenants, the following items
carried off by them and their accomplices, •ia. 600
cows, price of each Bs. 4d. ; 5 score horses, each
265. Bd. ; 50 score of sheep. each 2s. ; 20 score of goats,

Sunday afternoon, whilt some children were playing
with one of the stone rollers u•ed in the meadow at the
bottom of Salisbury Crags, Edinburgh, a girl about
seven years of age fell, while her companions were
dragging it, and the roller passed over her body and
crushed her to death.

Yesterday a Commission of Lunacy was held at
Gray's Inn Coffee house, to inquire whether James
Alexander Robertson, E,q. was of-unsound mind, and
incapable of managing his.propet ty. Captain Young.
husband, and other witnesses, proved a number of ex-
travagancies in conduct' and conversation, committed
by Mr. Robertson, who is a young man of 22, both at
Oxford and in town. Among his whims, one was, that
he was a candidate for Westminster, where, he said, be
was sure of his election, as the people wanted a man of
abilities and independent principles. According to the
evidence of the landlord, with whom he lodged in Ca-
vendish-street, he used to get up early in the morning
and blow a born, and when a crowd collected throw
water over the window. He fired a pistol repeatedly
out of a back window, and nearly shot the landlord's
son. Whea the father remonstrated, he observed it
was an affair of no conseqeence, for if he had shot the
boy, it would have been only a verdict of" accidental
death:' Dr. Fox and Sir G. Tuthill stated their opinion
that the unfortunate gentleman was quite insane. The
Jury returned the following verdict s—" That James
Alexander Robertson bad been a lunatic, and incapable
of managing his affairs, since the 31st of August 1824."
