The D

VALUE OF LAND IN MANCHESTER.—Judging from the
enormous sums which are frequently paid for sites for ware-
houses in Manchester, few wc,uld be disposed to conclude
that the trade of the town is any other than most prosperous.
A plot of land in George-street, near the Infirmary, has been
sold in two lots—one of which fetched £lO,OOO, and the
15,000, making together £25,000. The land com-
-2,200 superficial square yards. The pro-

s only about

perty originally was a builder and joiner's establishment.
The original chief rent is only (it is said) Is. per yard per

DUE OF THE MANCHESTER CHARTER

—The Judges sat in the Court of Exchequer Chamber t;
Monday last, to give judgment in the case of the rival coroners
of Manchester, Messrs. Rutter and Chapman. The majority
of the judges, namely, Lord Chief Justice Tindal, and
Judges Bosanquet, Pattison, and Coltman, gave judgment in
favour of the charter, whilst Lord Denman and Mr. Justice
Williams gave their opinion, against it. Mr. Justice Cole-
ridge thought that, although the charter was valid, yet the
charge of the judge at nisi pries was erroneous, as to the
manner in which he had left to the jury the question relative
to the sufficiency of the petition upon which the charter was
gi anted, and, therefore, there should be a venire de novo. :le
majority of the judges being in favour of the charter, its va-
lidity was of course established.

CHIMNEY SWEEPS.—A benevolent Cornish clergyman of
the name of Llext, resident at Bath, has issued a prospectus
for a society to provide Church of England education for the
young
.chimney sweeps of that city ; and to facilitate the
