LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, WESTMINSTER, OCT, 3.
(Sittings before Lord Met Justice Base and a Common Jury.)
LEACH V. iIOLLCTT AND ANOTHER.
Mr. HUTCHINSON and Mr. Sergeant ANDREWS ap.
peared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant Seitantra for
the defendants.
This was an action brought to recover back a sum of,
. 30/. which the plaintiff had paid as a deposit on the
purchase of two houses, Which the defendants, as auc.
*imams, had sold to him. The ground of the action was,
that the consideration of the purchase had failed, as the
plaintiff had been deceived, not only in the amount of
rent due from the tenant, but an the amount of rent
_payable to the pound landlord, sod with respect to the
liability of the landlord to pay the razes for these houses.
He, besides, alleged. that the houses advertised for sale
were No 3 and 4, but, that after the deposit had been
. paid, he found that lie had really made a purchase of
of the houses No.t and 3. The defence was, that the
mis-description of the numbers was merely an error of
inadvettence, which was cured by the conditions of
sale, where it was specially provided that " an error or
misstatement should not void the sa!e," and that the
. description was sufficient to have enabled the plaintiff'
to inquire about the houses if he had chosen to take the
troable of doing so.
The CHIRP Jusrice, however, thought that the error
was of so material a nature, and had been accompanied
with other, so much affecting the value of the property,
that the sale could not be supported ; and the plaintiff,
. the!efore, had a verdict.

4PRIVILEGES OP THE SINGING SERVANTS 07 AM-
BASSADORS.
A few days ago a case came on before the Commis.
sioners of Requests, which has excited some curiosity
and annoyance in the theatrical world, inasmuch as one
of the principal vocal performers connected with our
theatres defended himself against a very paltry demand,
by referring his creditor to the law which exempts the
servants of Ambassadors from an arrest for debts con-
tracted in this country.
Mr. Smith, a pianoforte maker and tuner, summoned
• vocal Gentleman, connected with the English Opera'
House, for the sum of 11.19,6 I. for tuning and repair-,
ing a pianoforte, on a hich the defendant used constantly
to play. The summons was disregarded, and an order'
was ierved upon him of a more peremptory nature.—
This order was also treated slightingly. The defendant,
however, gave the Court some information, in order to
prevent them from giving themselves any more trouble
about the mater, and to shew the absurdity of incur-.
sing any expense upon the eccasiort. Upon the back of
the summons he wrote, " Mr.— is privileged, being a
fervent to tie Bavarian Ambassador, and ss ill not at-
tend." This mode of discharging the debt was not very
agreeable to the complainant, who waited upon and re-
presented the case to the Commissioners. He was aware,
he said, of the existence of the privilege as far as re-
garded the Courts of Law, but he begged to know
from the Commi,sioners, whether the ptivilege'of
ex-
eniption from arrest extended to Ambassadors and tl.eir
• &Made servants in theirigher Courts, could be claimed
14 them, to prevent executions from being levied for
the recovery of a sum under 40s. in the Court of Re-
quests?
One of the COMMISSIONERS said, that Ire was of opi-
nion that the performer was amenable for contempt,
and thought that the necessary process ought to be
issued. He expressed some surprise that a person it,
the suite of the Bavarian Ambassador could dare to
give such an answer to an order of .the Court.
The other Commissioners were equally indignant at
the grounds which the defendant had tak, n for refusing
to obey the order of the Court, hut they seemed disin-
clined to run any hazard by issuing a peremptory order
of arrest against the defendant, as there had, been some-
thing disagreeable arising froth ti e interference of
Commissioners upon a former occa•ion.
Mr. Smith produced what he conceived to be an au-
thority, to thew that the privilege of exemption from
Irmo in the persons of Ambassadors servants was not
recognised in Courts of Equity.
Mr. Noarow, the S.iliiitor to the Commissioners, was
of opinion that the case ci ed did not apply. He ap-
prehended that Ambassadors servants were not liable
lb al Int exceit in cases of et iminal process.
The COMMISSIONENS wished to see the question satis-
factorily decided. They thought it a great hardship
that a persdh, who had 101. or 121. a week salary at a
theatre, :besides the-profits arising from the exertions of
h s talents in other ways, should be enabled ta laugh at
his creditors by being hired at an Ambassador's Chapel.
and they advised Mr. Smith to refer his complaint to
the Bavarian Ambassador.
Tire complainant, alto it seems is determined to fol-
low up the matter, immediately went to Baron Cetto,
in Grosvenor-street, and menti:nied to his Excellency
the advantage which had been taken of the employ.
ment he had given, to the defendant in " shirking" a
few paltry debts, and represented the great injury which
poor creditors nii,;ht receive, if performers were sanc-
tioned in pleading privilege.
DarcnrCetto acquiesced in these sentiments, and as-
sured Mr. Smith that he had given instructions to Dr.
Wildey, who had the superintendence of the depart-
ment to which the defendant belonged, nut to em-
ploy any persons but those who had principle, and
lie I,nstsortly wrote to Dr. Willey, desiring that he
Would dismiss any servant who was guilty of the con-
duct described.
Dr. WILDE?, upon reading the communication from
the Ambassador, told Mr. Smith that he certainly had
been instructed to engage none but servants of principle;
and that he had engaged the defendant under the im-
pression that he was a man of honour. The Doctor
'nen stated, that if the debt was not forthwith paid, the
name of the per former should be struck off the Rolls.
The losers by privileged Gentlemen of this description
will know alter this where to apply for tedtess. • i

From the extraordinary circumstance§ which attended the run-
ning this afternoon for the Plate, a few additional particulars will not
be 111-timed. His Majesty's- sorse Mortgage, Lord Cleveland's
Iteration, and Mr. Wyndhsm's Black Swan, were entered to run
for it; but Memnon having been drawn, Mortgage stood very high
in the betting, and was backed at 7 to 4 apt Black Swan. At
starting they went at a fair four-mile pace, Mortgage leading ; they
had not proceeded above thirty yards when the Swan became
flighty, turned to the right, and bolted Into the road, as if bent for
Cambridge to take his last degree, contrary to the general practice
of
high.mettled ones, who frequently begin there and finish at New.
market. Without noticing this freak, the King's horse pursued his
route, and came In soles, to the utter astonishment of the many,
and the dismay of a select few who had backed the abortive. The
race was, of course, considered as decided; bat such was not the
fact, for, after the next match, and when the homes bad been sent
• distance of five miles to their stables, it turned out that they had
made a false start, and they mast run for the Plate a second time
They were therefore fetched while the other matches were being
run, and at the cunclusion of the other races were again started for
a four-mile race. This unlooked-for occurrence occasioned some
excitement, and made the races later than usual

The match between Mr. Greedles Miriam and tee Duke of
Grafton 's 31unorly will not be run, the former having paid 65 soya.

A question of great importance to the medical proles.,
sion in London has arisen between the College of Physi- ,
cians and Dr. Harrison, a graduate of the University of
Edinburgh. In virtue of a charter gtan►ed by Hen.Vlll.
and confirmed by Parliament in the 14th and 15th of
that King, the College claim the privilege of preventing,
under certain specified penalties, any person, even a
graduate cf a recognised University. from practising
physic within the-city of Loa& a, and seven miles of the
same, until such person shall have been duly examined'
and licensed thereto under the seal of the said College;
and upon this ground an intimation has been served upon
Dr. Harrison, who has been practising without such
qualification, that, unless he conform by presenting him-
self fur examinat:on, the College will proceed against
him for recovery of the penalties aforesaid. Dr. Harri-
son. however, refuses to recognise the validity of;;;Ise
privilege claimed by the College, and contends that as a
graduate cf a recognised University, he is entitled to
practise physic wherever he thinks proper, without regard
to any charter, statute, or bye-law of a particular
corporation, which he• alleges, can never overcome the
plain meaning and ii.tent of the public law of the coun-
try, which has authorised certain Universities to confer
medic.l degrees, and to ipso to qualify persons for the
practice of Physic in all parts to which the dominion
of our public law extends. The question, which. as we
have already said, is one of the greatest importance,
will probably come under the cognizance of the Courts
of Law.

The overseers of the parish of Ampthill have adopted
a novel method in order to keep their poor employed.
They send them•from that place with a barrow ofisod,
with which that neighbourhood abounds, to Bedford,
and in order that, atter the delivery of that article
there, they should not return home idle, they are com-
pelled to wheel back a quantity of coals.

An occuitt ace of a singular kind happened last creek
at the residence of Dr. SNIIIII, in the Westgate S;rftt,
Bury. A roan, from Wickliambrook, in a state of in-
, toxicatirn, was driving himself and a woman at a furi-
ous rate in a one horse chaise; and taking not a straight,
but a zigzag directi .n. the horse being blind, and the
driver incapable of guiding him, ran out of the street
completely through a windtiw of Dr. &dives house
into a pantry; by some fortunate means the animal
cleared himself of the harness in passing through the
window, so that the chai.e, with its live contents firmly
fixed in it, were left in the street, and the horse found
by the cook, standing quietly in the pantry. None of
the pasties experienced any injury, except the Doctor's
window being dashed to atOrns.*--Strote Herald

Yesterday James Fiftgenitcf. a native of the Sister Isle, was

gally hawking spirits fur sale.--The officer stated, that in conse-
quence of some suspicious appear,nces he was induced to watch
the prisorer, and alter about taree.hours following him. he saw him
enter a house ; he called the owner of the house, whom he knew to
be a watchman in Fetterlane, and desired him to buy spirits of
she prisoner, and gave him money foe thst purpossa Immediately
Wpm this being effected hr took him into ctiondy;aod on his per-
sim be found about two quarts of raw spirits. which be was sending

A poor man .names Joke. Lune was yesterday charged before
Sir It. Blame and kir. Moons:Lk, by Wm. Skinner, Itispectsor of
Hawkers' Licences, with selling brooms without a licence. Th•
defendant pleaded " not guilty."
Skinner stated that on the 21st of September last he met the de-
fendant us Chelsea. lie was crying brooms said brashest° sell.—
On asking bias to produce his licence, he said he had no occasinn'
Ow one, as he MAY an old soldier, and as such entitled to sell his own
manufacture without a licence

Sir lt. Mims (to the Inapector).-1 suppose yeas next intend to
take all the gavarian girls into custody. They a 7 brooms, you
know. and I dare sae without any licence? • '
Mr. Miosstana.--The charge against this poortswgioppears to be
very general. He is merely accused of crying ..wooa4. The Act
says that theparty offending must be proved to have offered his
goods fur yak from door to dour.
Sir R. Bums—The wording of the Act of Parliament itself is
very vague upon the point. Act says, " shall nut carry to or,,
expose for sale at other men'. houses:" According to this wording,,
the defendant bad not off, nded against the law.
A solicitor who attended from the Hawker's and Pedlar's lace
I in suppost of the informatLin, endeavoured to show to the contrary;
but he failed to convince the llagistrates, end

The defendant being called upon to state what he could la his
dt-
fence, said, he was an old soldier, havlvg served 14 years and 244
days in the 90th Light Dragoons, the greater part of which time be
passed upon the continent, and was engaged in the Peninsular War.
He bad also served in Ireland. where he was discharged from the
regiment. and " sent to the right about' without any compensation
for bis services. Having nothing better to torn himself to, be be-
thought of making brooms and selling them in the streets. He had
always understood that, as an old soldier, be might do so without
going to the expense of taking out a license, the amount of which
would be more than he could turn in the whole year.
Sir Emmaus Haunt told tans, that as an old soldier he was eel.-
tainly entitled to sell his own manufacture in any town or city in
England, excepting those places where the two Universities were
situated. It was requisite, however, that he should be a resident of '
whatever city or town be hawked his brooms in.
The information was then dismissed, and the veteran broom-set.
ler shouldering his stock in trade, thanked the Magistrates fur their
humane decision, and marched of in double quick time.
HATTON-GA ROHN.

A notorious character, Named Hniebios, who has for a long pe-
riod levied contributions on the public, by feigned tales of distress,
was charged yesterday with obtaining money from Mr. Burn, of
Queen-square, Bloomsbury, under false pretences. The prisoner
was apprehended by two Officers of the Mendicity Society, as he
was quitting Mr. Burn's house. He is the same person who was
charged some time ago at' Marlborough-street, with comlnitting
frauds of a similar description ; and be was tried at the Old Bailey
during the present year, for stealing a watch from al-rail fair one,
and was acquitted, owing to a discrepancy in the evidence. On
the ptesent charge he was ordered to find bail._
