This cause which his 'excited great interest in this
'cney,- came on to be tried on Saturday last, before'
too Baron RFCHARDS and a Special Jury.—lt is im-
possible for us tes give, more than a concise sketch of
which occupied the Court for upwaids of
the case,
rotten hours.
The plaintiffs, as the Lords of the reputed Manor
of Park Lettice Llanover, claimed by this ejectment,
all the waste lands in the parish of Llanover, and the
non and coal mines in the mountains ; on pert of
which, the defendants as lessees of the Earl of Aber-
Roemr, h id e
oxpended £250,000 in the erection of
formig levels, building houses, and in the
finneces,
endowment of a Church ; and which ate well knoWn
by the name of the Bleenavon Works.—O.t the part
of the plaintiff it Was shown that Park, Letrice
vet was a manor in the time of Queen Et-mem:Tit ;
but there was no evidence of any Courts having been
held, subsequent to that reign.—The plaintiffs then
attempted to prove. by various withcsees, that the
parish of Llanover, and the Men .r of Park Lettice
Llanover, were co-extensive ; and that the waste
laoasin the paxish,csmprising an extent ot seven mina
on the mountains, were within the boundary of their
manor. Acts of ownership for .50 years 'past, were
next offered in proof ;—such as collecting estrays on
the mountains, digging coal and ore, mid perambu.
lations which were seem to have been mkrked by
boundary stones. The plaintiffs admitted, that the
defendants had for the last VS years been in possession
a ale rnines in question ; etr. they contended that the
Statute of Limitations had not barred them, in as
much as thrir estate had been entailed ; and that
they had brought their ejectment a few months before
the expiration of 20 years, from the time they came
into possession.
Mr. Tetnixon who had opened and conducted the
plaintiffs' case, with very great ability, then informed
the Court that he considered he had established the
plaintiffs' right to the premises in question.
The Souction GENERAL. who had been brought
down special by the Earl of Abergavenny, then ad-
dressed tee Jury sin the part of the defendants.—lt
would be doing an injustice to the Solicitor General
to atter:let to describe the speech, or the feeling it
excited in one of the mast crowded Courts we ever
witnessed; those around i.im end who had often been
gratified by the display of his unrivalled talents, ad.
witted, that in no instance had he ever emileodied in
an address to a Jury, more teeming, mote iscuie.and
vigorous reasoning, or .s more eloquent and touching
appeal to the minds and feelings of the Jeffry. than he
had done on this important occasion.—He began by
asevere criticism oh the plaintiffs' witnesses, and their
attempting to prove trivial circumstances which ()c-
-owed teat a century ago, as it they had only happen.
ed yestei day, and made some tine observations On the
infirmity id human memory, arid on the principles
which should regulate our confidence in all human
testimony. —He then pointed nut the contradictions
its the plaintiffs' evidence, and the improbability of
their story, which he submitted to the Jury, was
fabricated to suppert the plaintiffs' claim.—The So-
licitor General then observed, that the Barony of
Abergavenny welt a Barony by tenure, and the only
aikE 0, the kingdom, except the Barony of Arundel;
that sees Barony had been granted by WILLIANt the
Crootoerorto the ancestors of the present Earl, as one
(O. tee Lords Marchers of Wales. The Barony he
reler. Wed to consist of eighteen Manors, and to ex-
tend over twenty-eight parishes: that the Earls of
Abergavenny, in the feudal Times, had granted out of
their vast domains, several small subonanors to the
chieftains under them $ and among others he would
prove that the little Manor of Park Lettice Ll mo-
ver, which consisted only of the fourth part of a
Knight's fee, (about five pounds per annum in an-
cient times) had been granted by the anzient Barons,
to hold of the superior Lord, by suit and service. He
stated he would prove by the public records of the
kingdom, that the Lords of Abergavenny, in all times
Lad exercised their rights over the wastes and moun-
tains of the Lordship, and that in the earliest periods,
they had been known by the name of Gwent Land,
. or Abergavenny Land. That Courts Leet, and
Courts Baron, had been held from time immemorial,
. Inc the Lordship, and that at these Courts, Hay-
Werds had been appointed, and jurisdiction exercised
ever the whole extent of the Barony. He then stated
that he would prove by the most irrefragable evi-
dence, that the mines in dispute, were specifically
Mentioned in the oldest records ; and that from the
days of Queen Eetz %BETH,. till the period when the
present defendants took a lease of the preinises,
twenty-eight years ago, the Mountains and mines had
teen leased by the Earls of Abergavenny, to the
amburys of Point-et-pool ; and that he would close
his case by adducing a clopd of witnesses, the oldest
people oil the bills, to Prove that to their own know-
ledge, the lessees of the Noble Earl, had occupied
these lands for fourscore years ; and that they had
heard from their fathers and their grandfathers, that
these mountains, and wastes belonged to the superior
Lord ; and would fix by their evidence, that for one
hundred and fifty years, the name of the Lord of the
little insignificant fourth part of a Knight's fee, had
never till within a few years pan been pronounced on
the land of Gwent, or on the mountains of Aberga-
venny. The Solicitor General in the conclusion of
his speech adverted to the conduct of the plaihtiffs,
and those -to whom they had succeeded a they had
slept, he said, quiet in their little manor in the valley,
and seen for the last five-and-twenty years, his clients
raise the most magnificent works; people a barren
mountain ; found and endow a Church, and erect in
Mort a City, as a monument of the commercial
grandeur, and industry of the British Nation.—That
the plaintiffs had seen all these things done, without
notice, and. without remonstrance ; and it was to be
lamented
for the sake of honourable feelings, and
high-minded notions of Justice, that the plaintiffs bad
• not been content to be laid as quietly as their fore-
fathers had been, within the humble ambit of their
ittle manor. That their attempt by spell evidence
as they had produced to over-reach the east, property
of the defendants at one stroke,- their mnbition in
mounting the hills and attempting to shake a title
which had stood 800 years, shuuld have been fairly and
duly considered by them. as well with reference to
their legal rights, as to the moral fittness of their
aleim, helot* it was submitted to thi Jnatise and de-

EARTHQUAKE.--The turning round of a por-
tiori of The Spire at Inverness (mentioned in the letters
insqrted in our fourth page) is a most remarkable
crctimstance. If the Magistrates, instead of rebuild-
ing, can by.any means secure it in its present pasition,
Inverness will be able toloast. pethaps, of the most
singular monument in the world. We would earnestly
recommend to them to consult with some competent
'engineer on the pinsibility of joining securely the
different parts together, internally, by means of iron
clamps. When this has been done, it might be pos.
Bible, perhaps, to chip out and replace by new ones
such stones as may have been too much injured by
the percussion to be allowed to remain. We believe
that Mr. Tat FORD is now not very distant froth In-
verness, directing the works of the Caledonian Canal.
The Magistrates of Inverness may perhaps approve
of our suggestion, and consult with him on the possi-
bility of preserving the spire in its present state.

In consequence of the Petition from Reading, which
was ordered to Le on the table of both Houses of
Parliament, and which the Earl of I. ACDEIWALE
pledged himself.to bring wider discus ion next &s-
-ilo°. Governmetat have directed the Boerd of Excise
to return a list of all hcuses in the hands of the
Brewers. There can be little doubt but Ministers

have now :absolved to L;cense Publicans in general,
and thus abolish the odious monopoly in which the
BiewingTrada has long been held--a monopoly inju-
rious both to the health of his Majesty's subjects, and
to the Revenue.
The selection of Sacred Music, at St. Laurence
Church, ita.ading,on Wednes tay, was well and respect-
fully attended by most of the inhabitants of the town
and wit,thboierhood ; and great praise is due to Mr.
BINFIELD, the whole being under his immediate iili-
rection. The wordy Members of the Borough of
Reading, Sir Joun SINIZON, Bart. and CHARLES SHAM

LEFSVRB, E.q. were present.
An elegant small Theatre is about to be built on
the Surrey side art the beautiful Waterloo Bridge, in
the Strand, under the immediate patronage of Punt
cess Cummorre and Prince LYOPoLD. It is to be
named the Cobuurg Theatre. The sale of the build-
ings in the Sato s which arc to be pulled down, com-
menced on Tuesday. last, and the Proprietor of the
above new undertaking purchased the materials of
the German Chapel, to be used in the construction of
their house, which is to be erected in the Chinese
style of architecture.
The workmen are employed in laying down pipes
on Blackfri ars-bridge, preparatory to its being lighted
with gas by the City Gas Company. The Trustees
of the new Surrey Roads also contracted, on Satur-
day last, with the New Gas Company formed for
lighting the Borough of Southwark, to light Black-
friars.road with gas: the lanterns will be supported
by iron posts, in the same manner as in New Bridge-
Street.
The Bishop of SALISBURY was thrown from his
horse, a few days since, from the firing of a gun in.
the street of that city; by which fall his Lordship
received a violent contusion on the back part of the
head, from which his Lordship is not yet perfectly
recovered.

five o'cl,,ck, on Thursday alterno6n, the Bth instant, the prisee
ner's wife sent witneu word briter boy, that she wisbed to see
him that evening ; in consequence of which he called at her house
about nine o'clock, and sat with her in the bar for soune time;
she told Witness she hail a sum of money to make up fur the
brewer, but not baying enough, she would be obliged to him to
assist her; she the*. pulled out a packet of notes, to the amount,
as witness bellevei, of twelve or fourteen ; they ;eight be one
pound notes: Witness lent her sit one pound notes, five of. them
were quite fresh ; he had not had them an hour and a half, hav-
ing received them from Mr. Paris's housekeeper that evening;
the other was an old note, which he had had in his pocket about
'ten days or a fortnight, but be could not tell any marks that were
on them. Mrs. Tuck observed to witness, tint these six notes
would just complete the sum she wanted. Witness heard Mr.
Walpole singing In the parlour, and be went in there, where he
also saw Flowers, Holmes., Crouch, Saunders, Robinson, the de.
ceased, and a stranger (Smith); be quitted the parlour about ten
o'clock ; Draper having left it five minutes befcie; witness then
went and ,at in the bar with Mrs. 'luck, and never heard 1/ra-

to the parluur, so that lie could not tell whether Mr. Draper re-
turned again to the parlour or not; he might be there fur all that
oittless knew; he saw Church in the house about ten o'clock, but
he did not see him in the parlour; he did not see the deceased
pull out his pocket-hoek, nor lay veabers, tier pay for any liquor.
Witness saw nn quarrel Or di.turbance of any mod ; the deceased
appered much in ',quite; about eleven o'clock the prisoner, Mr.
Tuck, came into the bar for the key of his bed-room, and went
to bed, as witness supposed, as he saw no more of him. Seen-
dere aka came to the bar about the saute time, lighted his candle,
and wished them a good night, as he was going to bed. Witness
left the house about a qnarter pasteeleven o clack and went home.
Benjamin Peat,(l,4 boy, w hose evidence has been already given,

ceived no injury. Saunders, Crouch, Church, and Robinson,
lodged in his waiver's house; he saw them frequently during that
night; but be did not know when they went to bed; about ten
o'clock the prisoner called the old ostler out of the tap room and
sent hint to kook foe Mr. Draper, but witness could not tell when
he came back, as he went to bed immediately. The old ostler
slept in the straw loft, or else went to Barnet. About seven
o'cluck neat morning witness's master ordered him to saddle a
horse, which he did; he then ordered witness to go to Mr. Wal-
pole and Inform him that Mr. Draper was found drowned, and
to accompany witness, and inform Mr. Draper's friends of the
accident. He that gave him the parcel. containing money, which
' he was afterwards to go and delver at the h:ew.hou,e, which
wituess did, and was back, as be believes, after going along with
Mr. Walpole to Mr. Draper's friends, and. afterwards to the
