Tuesday evening, pursuant to Public Requisition, a

nity, took place at the Chapel of the Rev. Mr. Armies, In March-

In one action for Crim. Con. tried before Mr. Baron
Glaaaow, at Stafford, as stated In the Sea. of Monday. the
damages were laid at SAM. but such were the facts disclosed, that
the Jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff of wee farthing f Mr.
TAUNTON. the Comma for the defendant, applied to the Learned
Baron, to certify under the Statute of Queen huzszern, to deprive
the plaintiff of his costs, with which his Lordship complied. If this
were oftener done, where cases are frlvcdous, or brought merely for
the purpose of obtaining costs, it would save the Court much
valuable time, and prevent Jurymen from being taken from their
business, as it would discourage persons from bringing paltry actions,
fearful that where they only received a shilling, or a farthing da-
mages,they would have to pay their own costs. Respectable Solicitors
decline Wog employed lo such actions, and often by so doing, save
their dlieats from expense and exposure. Plaintiffs, as the lase Lord
Karroo often observed, should *, come into Court with clean
hands;' or otherwise they should be put out of Court, and not oc-
cupy its attention to the inconvenience of the public. Many Jury-'
men are not aware that even a farthing damages carries costs, or
that the object of an action, is ofteri to saddle the defendant with
costs, while the plaintiff does not anticipate more than a shining
damages. We hope to hear more instances of Judges certifying in
the same manner as Baron Go alcove, in frivolous actions, as the best
means of checking vexatious litigation, and discouraging actions
which should never be brought into Court.
We have authority to state, that the only sanctioned
copy of General Sir HIRIIRRT TAYLOR'S Narrative el
