" Enclosed is a copy of a notice our Consul General
has sent round. It is in consequence of a very severe
circular received from the Foreign Office. After men•
tioning that the system of covering Turkish property
has been carried to great extent in all parts of the Le-
vant, it adds, • especially at &Bonk*, Beyroirt, and
Alexandria,' and threatens immediate dismissal to any
Consul who shall connive at, or permit hereafter, the
same. We rejoice much at this Measure cif our Gover 1:-
ment, as it will, in some degree; put rc stop to the as-
sistance which the friends of his Highness the Pacha
have hitherto been giving him against the unfortunate.
Greeks, and it will enable them to carry on their War• i
fare with some prospect of success. The Pacha could
not have hitherto annoyed them ril much without Eng-
lish aid, his troops and provisions having principally
been transported against the Greeks in ve,sels under the
British flag.
"We rejoice also at this measure for another reason,
which more immediately interests ourselves. The cru-
eHest system of monopoly has for several years bten
carried on by the Pacha, who, not content with extort-
ing the produce of the labour of his people from them,
at his own price, and on his own terms, has virtually
broken the commercial treaties with Great Britain, by
refusing to sell and preventing sales on the spot, fancy-
ing it more for his interest (in Which, however, he has
been mistaken) to consign his prodoct to various places
for his own account, and the British Rig has principally
protected his property from the *reeks.
" The French have an idea that this order our Consul
has received will give encouragement to the trade be-
tween Egypt and their country ; but the produce of
cotton, the staple commodity of Egypt, is much greater
than all France can consume ; independent of which,
the Pacha we think, will be induced, from fear of the
Greek cruisers, to sell his products on the spot ; thus the
monopoly, which extends to every article, even antiqui-
ties and mats, will receive a check, and enable those
British merchants who have come here under the idea
of being protected by the commercial treaties, to trade
in the products of the country, and earn a subsistence.

LAW REPORT.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Du. I.

Mr. Justice Lrfttessotx sat this morning for the Lord Chief
Justice (who is still indisposed) at Westminster.

MaSKIL •. COMPTON.

This action was brought by a butcher residing in
Lower-road, Islington, against the defendant, a Gentle.
man living at Highbury, to recover a compensation in,
damages for the loss of a, horse which the plainti
alleged to have been killed by the defendant. It ap-
peared that in April last the plaintiff sent out his ser-
vant on horseback to receive orders, and that whilst the
boy was riding along the road near Ball's Pond turn-
pike, the defendant drove his chaise on the wrong side
of the road, and the wheel struck the hoesi on the chest.
The horse died is a few minutes after the accident; the
defendant's chaise was also upset by the shock, and
himself and a young Lady thrown out. According to
the evidence of the boy who rode the horse, and that of
several other persons, he was going at a moderate pace,
and within five feet of the curb stone on his right side;
while the defendant was driving at the rate of eleven
miles an hour, on the wrong lids the road.
Mr. BIIOI7IIIIIIAM, for the defendant, observed, that he
nad no doubt every one of the Jury must have heard
of the rate at which butchers boys generally rode. It
was in fact almost proverbial to say, that a man 44 rode
as last as a butcher's boy." He believed, that, with the
exception pf a certain person who was said to run away
with lawyers, and sometimes travelled in a gale of wind,
none rode faster than butchers. The Learned Gentle-
man then called several witnesses, who proved that the
plaintiff's servant was riding at a full gallop, and that
defendant's horse was not able to perform the distance
of eleven miles within the hour, They also stated that
the defendant was driving in the middle of the road.
Mr. Justice Lirrt.uums having summed up, the Jury found a
verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 101.
The above cause occupied nearly theehole of the day.
COURt OF COMMON PLEAS, Dec. 1.
VOILZ V. MUGU/ AVID /OM. _ _

Mr. Comm opened the pleadings, and stated, that
this was an action of trespass ; the defendants having,
on a certain day in the month of October last, out.l
rageousl) broken into the house of the plaintiff, taken
part of his property, and disturbed and assaulted dif-
ferent members of his family.
Mr. Sergeant 'FADDY stated the CM to the Jury.—
The plaintiff was a respectable farmer residing at En-1
field Chase. The defendant, Wright, was an iron-
monger, and Jones, he believed, was a wine merchant.
In the multi] of October last they went to the house of
Mr. rode. at Enfield, without invitation, and on being
told by the servant that his master was ti.t at home,
and that the doors were all locked, they violently broke
into the house—ill timed the servants—killed a Tur-
key cock and a fowl—and picked a large quantity of
grapes, which they put into a ba.ket for the purpose
of carrying away. Ti.ey !Ltd not only beaten one 31
the servants, but the defendant, Ws ight, had actually
presented a gun at imother, and endeavoured to &re it
(iff. It was for these outrages that the plaintiff sought
to tecover damages.
Evidence was heard, and Mr. Sergeant Venetia,' addressed the
Jury for thelefendants, and calledowitnesses.
The LOLL Cuter JUSTICE summed up, and observed, that there
was tin question of the trespass ; the damages was for their con-
sideration. Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 501.

DON, 0$ Till *mist or WitiTtli 110._STOCI.SALL

This was an action of ejectment. The defendant was
a bookseller. The plaintiff had been an attorney, but
had retired from business, and was living at Acton
where he had property. T:,e defendant had taken 14
lease of a house tel •nging to .bins at that pl4ee. B)
the present action, the plaintiff sought to eject the de
l•ndant on the ground of fort Uwe under the lease.

defendant of a right of *ay to the plaintiff, and non-
payment of rent, according to agreement.

PREROGATIVE COURT, Dccasusat. 1.
NATLDON AGAINST SATLDON.

This was a snit, calling upon the executers to shew
cause why probate of the will should not be reca:led, in
order tint a legacy omitted therein by accident might
be inserted. Sir George Wood, late one of the Baton.
of the Exchequer, died in July, 1824, leaving a will,
appointing his nephews, Thomas and William Bayl-
don, his executors. In the draught of the will appeared
the following bequest:—" 5,0001. 3 per cent. consols to
my nephew, Richard Bayldon." In transcribing the
will, however, Sir George had inadvertently omitted
this part. In an abstract of the legacies found with the
will, after the testator's death, that of 5,0001. to Richat d
Bayldon appeared with the rest.
Sir JOHN NICHOL observed, that the facts of the case
had been already detailed; so that, without going into
particulars, he should content himself with decreeing,
that the party was entitled to revocation of the probate,
and to have the words inserted. The costs of Mr.
Richard Bayldon to be paid.

SUTLXII Asuutar BUTLIII6
This was a suit respecting the ♦alidity of a codicil
executed br Sir Edward Gerard Butler, of Queen's
County. Ireland, who died in Nov. 1824. His will
had been proved in the Prerogative Court, Dublin ; but
as the sum of 4,0001. the produce of the sale of the
testator's commission of Lieutenant-General in the
army, was in England, it became necessary to prove in
this country a codicil, executed in the month the tes-
tator died, in favour of Edward Butler, of the 22d
Regiment of Foot, son of the deceased. The relict of
the deceased had appeared to oppose the probate,
irs forma pouperis; but subsequently withdrew her
opposition.
The Count pronounced for the codicil, u well as for the original
will.
