COURT OF KING'S 'BENCH, WKSTKAISTER, Nov. IL

WILLIAMS P. LIVE
This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a lodging-
house-keeper, against the defendant, a sheriff's officer,
for trespass, in entering his house to arrest his lodger,
Colonel Macerone: It appeared from the evidence, that,
the defendant forced his way into the bedroom of the
plaintiff's daughter, dragged the clothes from off the
bed in which she was lying, and conducted himielf in
other respects in a very violent manner. The Jury
gave a verdict for the plaintiff. with lOW. damages.
Mr. GUMMY now moved for a rule to set aside the
verdict, on the ground-that the damages were excessive,
considered in relation to the pecuniary circumstances
of the defendant.

Mr. Justice BATLZY said, that the damages were
certainly large; bat at the same time it was necessary
that officers should be taught to conduct them:electric.
corously.—Rule refused.

MASSA. CORPUS.

Mr. BRODERICK moved for a writ of habeas corpus,
directing the keeper of Newington gaol to bring up the
body, of a:person named Leftwich, at present confined
there under suspicion of having received stolen property.
The motion was made upon an affidavit, which stated
that the prisoner, being a baker by trade, purchased the
property, Asome flour) which he was accused of having
received from a person named DJuglas openly and at a
fair price. He attended as a witness against Diuglas
at the police office, on the 4th of September, and again
on two subsequent occasions.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 10.

WOLLASTON •ND ANOTHER P.. TRUMAN.
This was an action brought to recover the lon that
had arisen in the resale of a quantity of Surat cotton.
The cause had come on for trial at Guildhall, at the
Sittings before the present Term, when a verdict was
returned for the plaintiff. On the 25th of May, 1825,
plaintiff put op a quantity of Surat cottons for sale at
the Commercial Sale Rooms, in Mincing Lane; the
defendant, a sworn broker, became the purchaser, paid
the necessary deposit, and not having given in the name
of a principal, was considered as the real purchaser by
the plaintiffs. A few days before the prompt became
due, however, he wrote a letter to the auctioneer who
had sold the cottons, giving the name of a person whom
he stated to be his principal, and added, that he would
be unable to pay on the day the prompt became due,
and requested a further enension of credit. The plain•
tiffs, however, did not accede to this proposal, and the
money not being paid, they had resold the cottons, con.
sidering defendant the purchaser, as he had not given
reasonable notice of his principal.
Mr. SergeantVAuouAK now-moved to obtain a rule to
shew cause why the verdict should not be set aside, and
a new trial granted, on the ground that the conditions
on which the cottons had been sold did not stipulate,
that in case of the prompt being unpaid when it became
due, there should be a resale. He contended, that if
the plaintiffs considered the defendant the purchaser,'
they had no right to resell the gOods. 1
The Judges consulted together for a short time, and granted a
rule to shew cause.

LIMY v. BUITZIRWORIN.
This was an action of trespass brought by the plaintiff,
who resides in Serjeants' Inn, Fleet-street, against the
parish officer of St. Dunstan's in the West, who had
seized sundry goods and chattels belonging to the plain-
tiff for non-payment of poor's rate. The case was tried
before the Lord Chief Justice at Guildhall, during the
Sittings previous to the present Term, and a verdict
was returned for 'the plaintiff. The question was, whe-
ther the house situated in Serjeants' Inn, Fleet-street,was
part and parcel of the parish of St. Dunstan's in the
West? The evidence on this point was very contra-
dictory, and it was on this. ground that Mr. Sergeant
Wilde now moved to obtain a rule to chew cause why
the verdict should not be set aside, and a new trial
granted?
Th. LORD CHIRP' Juzycz said, that the evidence
had clearly proved that since the reign of Queen Eliza-
beth the inhabitants of Serjeants' Inn had never been
called on to pay rates. Persons who had purchased
property in that part had given a much larger sum for
it, under the idea that no rates could be demanded. He
was decidedly of opinion that this property was extra
parochial, consequently was not subject to parates to
the parish of St. Dunstan's in the West. Hewas per-
fectly satisfied with the verdict that had been returned
on the trial.

The rest of the Court concurred with his Lordship, mud refused
to grant a rule to show cause.

CONSISTORY COURT, Nov. 10.
TIMM e. IlasassAys.
In this suit, which related to soquestion of tithes, Dr.
'Jesse ADDAMS moved the Court to dismiss his client,
Mr. Merchant, from further prosecution of the suit. He
had resisted the claim of the Rev. Mr. Young, his vicar,
to the tithes of the whole of his estate, consisting of
163 acres, but had tendered the tithes of 36 acres, which
the vicar had elought proper to accept. He trusted
the Court would dismiss the suit without imposing costs,
or at least the whole costs upon his party.
Dr. LUSHINGTOIII for the vicar, observed that the
application. as it respected the costs, was extraordinary.
The vicar had, indeed, consented to receive part of his
claim, on account of the difficulty of adducing proof
that the other part of the estate was not demesne land ;
for, although the endowment existed, it was, perhaps,
incapable of being legally established. But the tender
made by the opposite party was invalid, because it was
unaccompanied with the offer of costs) conformably to
the universal rule. Ifcosts were refused, the Clergyman
might expect to be vexed with a suit every year; and
the tithes would be worthless; if the costs were to be
paid out of them.
After some discoed' s between the Court and the parties, Dr.
Lusuntownt offered to take half the costa, whatever they might be,
by an order of Court for an allowance, matins 'possums/ which
offa Dr. Anwasofter some hesitation, accepted.

A few days ego, a proof occurred of the wretched
manner in which houses are erected about town. The
Building Act, as it now stands, can have no effect upon
the present mode of raising houses, as
.it does not
require that the materials should be good, although it
requires that a certain quantity of materials should be
used—quantity being, in the opinion of those who
framed the act, the only thing necessary. The specu-
lators in this sort of trade avail themselves of this over-
sight in the legislature, and run up a house by accu-.
mulating the very worst rubbish. Some of the wretched
walls which they order to be raised by this standard,
fall while the unfortunate men ate engaged in the work,
and some when the inhabitants think they are secure in
a new house, the walls of which are as thick as the most
cautious surveyors can require. The houses which were
built 50 years ago are considered to be erected upon a
plan of too permancit a nature to answer the changes
of fashion ; a company may dance in one of the rooms,
while persons may be fast asleep in all the others ; but
in the houses of recent manufacture, so perishable are
the materials, that the landlord frequently thinks it
necessary to insert a clauskin,the lease, by which the
tenant is prohibited from dancing in the rooms. Several
poor workmen very narrowly escaped death a few days
ago, in the neighbotirhood of the Metropolis, where
building is going forward. • They were raising a wall of
proper proportions, when down fell two of the intended'
habitations. The frequency of accidents of this sort, if
those things can be called accidents which are obviously
inevitable, will, it is to be hoped, cause an early revi-
sion of the Building Act.
The fasting woman at Trowbridge continues to refuse
food, with the exception that on Sunday the drank a
small cup of tea and about a pint of cold water, and ate
an apple. Some attempts were made in the early part
of the last week to force her to drink; but it is supposed
that sh'e did not receive a table spocinful into her sto-
m4ch. She Mai till lately a very stout, fat woman ;
-but within the last ten days she bas greatly waned, and
.her voice is scarcely audible. - -

MURDIR OF POOR OLD MR. GLOVER, AT ASHFORD.
suar.—lt will be fresh in the recollection of ourteaeers,
how inhumanly this aged individual (who resided in a
lone cottage at Ashfordbury, in this county,) was mur.
dered by some ruffians on the night of the 16th March,
1825. Soon after the diabolical transaction took plate,
two suspicions characters, named Brown and Jasson,
were apprehended, and underwent several examinations
before our County Magistrates; but as the crime could
not be brought home to either of them, they were libe-
rated. Since that period, the Magistrates have been
molt indefatigable in their endeavours to trace out the
perpetrators of the foul deed, but no clue whatever
'could be obtained. In consequence, however, of infor-
citation given by a person in the employ of Mr. Wilson,
brick-maker in this town, corroborated by other testi-.
monies, a warrant was granted for the reapprehension
of Wm. Brown, and he was taken into custody by Unwin
and Dent, on donday last, at Over-Broughton. Brown
underwent an examination on Tuesday, and was re 4
mended to the County gaol. At present, we should not
be warranted in giving further publicity to this affair;
but from the evidence already obtained,'we trust the
matter will no longer remain a mystery. Jasson, the
companion of Brown, was transported for felony, last
Midsummer Sessions, and is now on board the Hulks,
where an investigation as -to his participation in the
crime will take place.—Lekesta Journal, Nov.lo.

PEDESTRIANISM.
Lieut. Partner started yesterday morning on the Vauxhall road,
to run four hundred yards in 48 seconds, for ten sovereigns, and to
keep on and complete the quarter of a mile in three seconds less than
a minute for another ten. The pedestrian started off at full speed,
but he, however, lost the race by about two seconds ; and the second
wager was very closely contested, so mach so, that the empires with
diSculty came to an agreement. It wet, however, finally decided
that the race was won.
