THR *TRAM VISSEL ENTIHPRISL
This was a question of salvage. The steam vessel
Enterprise (one of the unfortunate vessels designed
for the assistance of the Greeks) left Plymouth on
the 27th of June last, and two days after met with
a gale off the Saints (Scilly Islands), in which she lost
her rudder. A temporary rudder was rigged, composed'
of a water barrel 6zed to a spar, with which she
made some progress on her return to port, having
signal for a pilot flying. On the sth of July, the Pur-
suit, a pilot-boat from Cowes, came up with her. and
assisted her into Portsmouth, where she arrived next
day. The value of the vessel was admitted to be 6.0001.
and the sum of 101. was offered to the salvors for the
service, and refused. On the part of the owners of the
Enterprise it was contended, that no salvage had been
performed, that the act was mere pilotage.
After hearing Dr. ADDAMS for the salvors, and Dr.
LUSUINGTOR for the owners.
The Count. decided that this was not a case of gene-
ral salvage; these were no grounds for considering it
such. It was a case of extraordinary pilotage ; and ac-
cording to its opinion, double the amount of the ordi-
nary pilotage would be a sufficient retnuneratiun.

THB KING tf. HENRY CLARK.
A trite bill having been found against the defendant
for selling and exposing to sale immoral publications,
the defendant not appearing, bis bail were ordered to
be estreated.
Mr. Justice Paige now desired that the books found
on the defendant might be brought into Cotut in a sakk,
and sealed up in his presence.
The town clerk now appeared, bearing a blue bag,
containing the publications in question.
Mr. Justice PARK—Pat them straight in the bag, but
don't open them, don't let 'any one see them, keep the
bag close, and write a label, stating " that this bag con-
tains immoral books and publications, the subject of an
indictment against Henry Claik, for selling and ex-
posing them to sale in October, 1827; sealed up by order
of Mr. Justice Park, at the Lent Assizes for the county
of Worcester, 1828." The label was accordingly written,
and kis Lordship directed that one of the Aldermen of
this city, who held one of the books which had been ex-
hibited to the Grand Jury, should be sent for, in order
that the obnoxious volume should be preserved with the
test and duly secured. After waiting some time, his
Lordship inquired if the Alderman had arrived, and was
informed that two messengers had been dispatched after
him. but were unable to find him.
Mr. Justice PARK, addressing the Clerk of the Peace,
'said, " Seal up the bag then now, and you must attend
me with it to-morrow morning. The Alderman must
attend me also before eight o'clock so-morrow morning
with the book. Here, tike my seal, and take care they
don't break my watch."
The blue bag was accordingly sealed up, and the
Court then adjourned.

STAINTON V. PHILLIPPII SART.
Mr. CLA ass (who was assisted by Mr. CLARK*. jun.)
stated the plaintiff's case to the Jury. The tatts, es .
they. were proved in evidence, were shortly theset-a—At
the last election for Great Grimsby, Sir Thos. Phillipps,
the defendant, was invited to stand upon the Anti-
Catholic interest, in opposition to Messrs. Heneage
and Wood. A Committee having been formed, a
band of music was engaged for the purpose of accom-
panying Sir Thomas to and from the hustings, and about
the town. The principal musicians of the town
having been secured by the other candidates, Sir
Thomas's band was obliged to be recruited from Louth,
and amongst other persons the plaintiff was engaged on
the second day of the election, to perform on the chi-
rionet. The election lasted six days, at the end of which
Sir Thomas was duly defeated. Various demands then
poured in upon him, one of which was a claim on the
pact of the band, at a rate of 16s. a day each for those
who lived in the town, and 18s. for those who resided
elsewhere. The defendant's agent promised to remit
a bill on his banker for the amount, which, however,
was not sent. In answer to a subsequent applicatlet by
letter on the part of the plaintiff, Sir Thomas said, that
44 when the other candidates would act honourably in
paying the demands upon them, he should no longer
have any excuse for not acting honourably in doing the
same; bat at present he knew they had not paid," &c.
The amount sought to be recovered was 51. lOs.
Mr. Minus, in a very amusing speech, contended
that Sir Thomas was not liable for this demand, inas-
much as he bad never engaged the musicians. it was
all a volunteer business on the pan of the Committee,
the nsusicialts, the agents, and the rest of that parts
who had invited Sir Thomas to stand forward as the
champion of Protestant ascendancy ; and he had aegond
a right to bring his action against the plaintiff and his
brother musicians for watt and labour done on their
account, in parAding about with them, and entertaining
them with making speeches and puffing their plait)*
and party, as they had to bring an action against Islas
for puffing him along the streets of Grimsby, a borough
remarkable for its virtue and purity of principle—
(l4.itighter).-6-The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff
—Damages, 41. 10s.

Mr. B. 110110HAU stated the case.—The plaintiff was an
industrious shopkeeper. residing in the town of Standish,
and appeared batoretbeas to recover such cumpensation
in damages as the Jury should think proper, for one of
the severest injuries that could be inflicted on the peace
and happiness of a parent—the seduction of his young

THE LATE BRUNSWICK THEATRE.

The inves•ig ition was renewed yesterday morning at
nine o'clock.
r. Word, a surveyor, was then swore—He stated
that he is assistant surveyor to the East India Company,
and asides at Claremont square, Pentonville—he was
emploled by tl.e Proprietors of the Brunswick Theatte
to survey the artificers' work, in the early part of last
January, and from that time to the falling down of
the Theatre, he had repeatedly warned Mr. Maurice
of the impropi Say of attaching weights to the iron roof,
but not being very conversant with irOtp work himself,
he volunteered to procure the opinion of t-Wodarmpettent
Gentlemen—rone was Mr. Peterßramah, civil engineer,
and Mr. Moonnan, who was also well qualified to give
a correct opinion on the subject. Mr. Maurice, how-
ever, declined calling in those Gentlemen, and told
the witness that he bad received a letter from the pa-. '
maw, who assured him that the roof was capable of
bearing any weight that might be necessary to attach
to it. The witness was not satisfied with this. assurance,
and whenever he approached the building, he alway'r
found himself very uncomfortable, frdm the impression
on his mind that the building was extremely insecure.
On ens occasion, when he spoke to Mr. Maurice rer,
pecting the danger which he apprehended, Mr. Car-
ruthers was present. He had spoken to Mr. Whit-
well about the Theatre, and particularly with respect
to weights being appended to the roof.
concurred in the opinion ; but he observed at the time,.
" The roof is not in my department, and t hive no cots-.
tronl over it." The witness then said, In my Otiiaiotr
the walls were capable of supporting the root, and the'
roof itself was well calculated for its legitimate put-.
pose, but it was decided,y not intended to bear the.
weight which was hung to it." l'he work was performed
in too hurried a manner. The a ails were not alloweJ
a fair time to dry and becorre consolidated. I again
repeat, that the proximate cAise of the accident was the
affixing the weights to the root—l consider Mr. Whit-
well to be a very experienced architect, and would take'
his professional opinion at any time.
Mr. HILL—Do you consider that a professional man•
is bound to foresee-danger, and it he did so, with an.
indication of danger before. his eyes, is it probable that
'he would wilfully expose the interests of those who em-
ployed him and human l to to such risk ?
Witness—Certainly, 1 should hope no man would do SO.•
One of the Jury then observed, that the evidence
already adduced was very distinct, and it was his opi-
nion, as well as that of his fellow Jurors, that unlesi
counter evidence could be given to rebut a h it had been'
alrea ;y taken down, there was no occasion to go any
further than the testimony of Messrs. Nash and Smiike,,
which he conceived ought to close the investigation.
The Cow:ism—Our object is merely to inquire by
what means the persons, of whose bodies we have had
a view, came by their deaths ? That we already know,
but we are now looking for information as to the real
cause of the accident, which I conceive to be the most
important part of on, duty ; but though other interests are
represented, we have nothing whatever to do with any
collateral considerations.

__________________
Mr. HILL, on the part of Messrs. Wellington, the
constructors of the roof, was instructed to say, that
they were most anxious that the Inquest should be per-
fectly satisfied that the roof was fully competent to the
purposes for which it was intended.
Edward Shaw, the Clerk of the Works, was then put
in the box, for the purpose of having his depw,ition read
over to him.

Jur, r— I believe Mr. Cotter, who represents the widow
of Mr. Maurice, stated yesterday, that he would cross-
examine ibis witness--perhaps this would be the most
convenient opportunity.
Mr.Covrea— Upon contideration,l shall reserve myself
until the deposimon is read over, and I shall then enden-
vonsato rebut the statements laming on the conduct
of Mr. Maurice, by counter evidence.
The witness's tetilirrony was then - rend over, which
occupied a considerable time.
Mr. COTTER-.6411V witness has 'total oat be con?
siderrd some things done and oaten omitted in ,the
whit h pried it• in jeopardy; I would' ask
him why he resigned his own judgnietit to their opinions ?
Shaw—Fur this reason simply--beceispe I had been
three years and two months ill with a fracture in my
bead, during which I never earned a penny, and I kwas
glad to get any one'. money.
Mt. COtran —Why, if he considered the uprights
On the stage tube so Obatuction, did he permit them
to be put up?
Shaw—l remonstrated with the proprietors, but it
was of no avail, and V acquiesced because I was told
they could not be dispensed with. In Covent Garden
Theatte, that vast structure, there is not a single up-
get on the stage, and if the trusses had been inserted,
would'have rendered the uprights unnecessary.

and his witnesses, to view the building, for the par.

whether the structure formed a house, as the Act of
Parliament under which the license is granted requires.
My opinion, as an architect, on the subject. is, that the
great *eight acted upon the joints and ends of the gir-
ders in the same Manner as a weight would act
upon the strings and ends of the bow, by extending,,
distending; and compressing it. The girders and joists
were acted on in the same planner, and drawn away
the walls, and therefore the roof fell. •

reading over Mr. Whitw ell's exidence, adjourned the
lurthEi• inquiry till Friday morning.

Sunday, Mr.Janies Fair, of Turnmill-street, Clerken-

to bed on Saturday night in perfect health, and in con-
sequence of his not coming down in the morning se

dead in bed. On Tuesday afternoon an inquest was held
on the body, and the jury returned a verdict of 14 Died

Mr. Joseph Dewsnap, of the Lower Manor, Sheffield,
considering himself aggrieved by the trespass of some
of his neighbours' fowls upon his premises, resolved to
rid himself of the intruders by shooting them. Having
put into his gun a sufficient charge, he agreed to hold
the piece, while another person pulled the trigger. The
gun burst, blowing away nearly all the young man's
fingers. He was taken to the Infirmary, where his hand

Two Inquests were field by one of the Coronets for
Surrey during the last week—the first at Brantley,
near Guildford, on the 7th instant, on a boy about
six years old, of the name of Henry Baker ; and thelat-
ter at Bagsbot, on Saturday, on a girl about seven
years old, named Mary Rance. On the first inquiry
evidence was given that the deceased, having been lett
alone with a younger child while their parents were
absent at work, was heard by a near neighbour utter-
ing the most piercing screams ; and on hastening to the
spot, it was discovered that the child had by some
means come in contact with the fire, and Was enreToped
in Alines. There being no water at hand, the only as-1
sistance that could be rendered was by removing the;
child's clothe 'as quickly as possible, part of which

fully scorched in every part of his head and body, he
survived for several hours afterwards. The second case
was equally painful and distressing. It appealed that
