SCOTT V. HANSON.

This was an application on the part of the plaintiff,
praying the defendant might be compelled to adbet e to
a contract which he had entered into for the purchase
of atrestate in Southampton. it was before the Court
a short time since, but judgment was deferred, in order
that his Honour might look into all the authorities
on the subject. The circumstances were these;—The
defendant had agreed to purchase atn Lander' Auction
Mart, an estate, consisting of fourteen acres, more or
less, of what was described in the Auctionett's bills to
be " uncommonly rich water meadow land" Now it
was contended by the defendant, that on a subsequent
'inspection of the surface it was found to be anything
but " rich water meadow." it being higher in this slum-.
tion than any of the lands adjacent—consequently not
sufficiently Irrigated. On the other hand the plaintiff
alleged that the principle of caveat eraptor should be
made to apply, and that the purehaser
.had not used
sufficient diligence in the inspection of the land before
hand. In a case of mines or ore it would be different,
but here where the defect complained of.might have
made itself appatent to the 4z:the:hit was contended that
inch was the law.
This morning the Vici(Crotreitt.tort gave his judge
ment. The words upon wh:ch the defence rested, as
expressed, in the.Auctitmeet Wlls, ought not to have
been taken as a sullicient,secnaiti of:;the value of the
land. They appeared.to pcirnerely the loo.e opinion of

EX PARTE HAINES, 11171111ESEATTER OP DOMES%
This was a petition praying for the inteiferesseeof
this. Court, under 1 question, relating to indentures of
apprenticeship., It appeared that the son, of the peti-
tioner was apprenticed to the bankrupt some time pre-
vious to the issuing of the Commission against; him. By
the 49th S:ctiou of the New 13Ankrtfitt Act, the iasning
of a Commission w* Made to operate as a dlicharge of
all indentutes of apprenticeship, and in cases where
boys had: paid tees, the Commissioners were obliged to
pay a reasonable sum to such apprentices, out of the
bankrupt's estate. grille present case the father of the
boy had. allowed 1501. out of a larger debt due to him
by the Bankrupt, to be retained by him as a fee. Pre-
vious to the completion of the indentures, however, the
bankruptcy of the Insolvent had taken place, and it was
now contended, on the part of the Commissioners, that
•they were not liable, inasmuch as the 49th Section of the
new Act rendered it necessary that there should be in.
dentures of apprenticeship.
The VICE CHANCELLOR was of opir.ion, that the ap-
prenticeship had virtu illy commenced, and according
to the equitable construction of the Act, the Petitioner
was entitled to claim against the estate. He should di-
rect, therefore, that the Commissioners do allow a rea-
sonable sum to the Petitioner in compensationf

DUBLIN, AUGUST 12.

The Editor of the Dublin Evening Mail hating in-
curred the displeasure of Lord Rossennre, his Lardshir,
it seems, waited on that Gentlemn for an explanation ;
and the following is said to be an 'authenticated .state.
ment of what passed on that occasion
Lord -Rossmore having read a paragraph in the MIN of the Sid
instant, which he considered as reflecting on frienils of his who were
out of town, he deemed it his duty to cpatradiet dais paragraph, in
language that could not be mistaken. • Lord Ifossmore left a copy
of his letter at the office of the Domini Mail, so that the Editor
might publish it or not as he thought fit. His Loidship: conceived
that it could be thus ascertained whether the Mail had published the
paragraph alluded to from authority ortot.
Lord Rossmore having called at the altar on Monday, a person
appeared, whom the Clerk informed his Lordship was the Editor.
He invited hint to go up stairs, and Lord Rossmore having per-
ceived Mr. Thonias Beaty coming down, and; of course, apprehend.
ing no foul play, followed the Editor. Upon arriving at' the room
in which there were two other persons, one of them walked op to
his Lordship, and in a most insolent manner demanded—" Why
don't you take'of your hat where Gentlemen are present "
Lord Rossmore, perceiving that be was guilty of error in going
into a room where two such Gentlemen were by himself, shut the
door quickly on them and proceeded down stairs. The person who
had addressed his Lordship before, disappointed that his schemes
had failed of success, pulled the door open violently, and pursued
his Lordship to the head of the stole,' but no farther, calling outer
" Regone you scoundrel !—l'll kick you down stairs if you remaii
another moment kick, you into the meet, 'you scoundrel I"
" Kick the ruthan into the street!" cried. one of the person in the
room. His Lordship very properly:kept the command of his tem-
per all through. He descended the stairs, looking the person steadily
in the fice who has thus disgraced himself, and only answered--" [
