by making for the pon too early in tie tile, *Mehl* too fre-

_NORWICH, DECEMBER 4.

• Saturday our Corporation convened a very hasty"
Meeting, for the purpoe of presenting the Dukes of
YORK and WELLINGTON with the Freedom of the City,
on their return through it from Lord SUFFIELD'S.—
The intention got wind in the course of the day,
and in the space of three hours only, nearly 400
Freemen bad signed the following Protest, which it
Was intended to have delivered to the Corporation,
but the business was hurried through before it had
reached them. On the Sunday morning the Dukes
were escorted to the Cathedral by the Corporation,
and on ascending the steps, the Protest was pre-
sented to them by a Freeman. As soon as they left
the. Cathedral the loyalty of the People again vented
itself- in shouts of 'g GOD save the Queen; and the
noble strangers retired into an adjoining school-
room. 'Under the Corporation escort they reached
their inn, greeted as they went along by incessant
cries of el Queen ! Queen!" •
core or THE PROTEST DELIVERED TO TUE DUKES OP TORE
Alm veirwsicrom.
" We, the undersigned Freemen of the City of Norwich,enter
our stroagcst Pretest againit the grant of the Freedom of our
City to the Dukes of York and Wellington, as contemplated by
the Corporation.
"Ist. Because their whole political career has been com-
pletely ih opposition to the rights, privileges, and independence
of our country ; and because of their obvious -attachment to a
military despotism, rather than to the laws and authority of our
glorious but insulted Constitution.
" 2. Because of their violent and indecent opposition to her
Majesty the Queen—an opposition which appears to have ori-
ginated in malice, and which has been characterized by every
thing disgraceful to them as men and as Englishmen.
3d. Because by far the larger portion of the Freemen of the
City concur in this estimate of their character, and because it
is at once hypocritical and unjust to present to them a scenting
tribute of gratitude, while the feeling and the sentiments of the
inhabitants are not merely not in accordance with this tribute,
but in decided opposition to it."

COURT .OiICINQ'S' BE:CCM-DECEMBER 6.
• . Pill LEY V. BALL..
!r-
-1 S was an action broUght for words spoken by
tlte defendant. -
Mr. GURNEY stated, that the. plaintiff was a re-
spectable farmer in Esser. The defendant had been
employed as bailiff. In a conversation he hid with
Mr. Heath, he said, "there is as much difference be-
tween Hogg and Philby as between a Christian and
a savage. Many a poor man has been seut.out of
the country for less than Philby .bas done ; for he
caught a sheep in the lade and asked me to kill it;
but I refused. He is a thief, and I can prove it.—
Mr. Stalibrass sent three rams and three ewes, and
he took one of the rams and placed it in his own
shop. I saw one ram on Philby's premises, and I am
ready now to swear it before a Magistrate."
Noah Heath proved the words the defendant used
in his presence.
Mr. Anoisinus addressed the Jury for the defend-
int in mitigation of damages, describing the espies-
'ions to be made by an angry man. He bad not the
least intention to justify the words. The Jury found
a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 40s.

REES AND OTHERS V. RIGHT.
This was an action brought by Dr. Rees and ano-
ther Gentleman, as assignees of a bankrupt's estate
and effects, against an attorney of this Court, for-al-
leged negligence la omitting to withdraw the record
in a former action brought by the plaintiffs against a
defendant named Clarke, whereby the plaintiffs were
put to the expense.of £3O, the costs of a nonsuit, oc-
casioned by the absence of a material and necessary
witness, who the defendant knew could not attend
on the day the trial took place.
The facts, as above *stated, were clearly proved,
and the Jury, under the Learned Judge's directions,
found a verdict for the plaintiffs—Damages, £3O.

The CHIEF JUSTICE said, that this verdict was
likely to do a great deal of good, and he hoped it
would. He was clearly of opinion, though he did
not say so to the Jury, that it was the duty of an
attorney to see with his own eyes, or those of his
clerk, every witness he intended to call, before he
suffered a cause to go on trial. His Lordship had
suffered a great deal of inconvenience from the omis-
sion of this necessary duty.
The Court rose a little before three o'clock, the
Chief Justice being summoned to attend a Council
at Carlton Palace.
