Pr4.1410N OV THE ''%TENT car/iv l'.\b►.

This important and novel proceeding, which bad heed
argued at great !yowl, on a former day, came nu for
judgment before Sir William Scott this warning. It
was a suit brought by joins Gilbert, parishioner of St.
Andrew, llolb are, against John Haavrard and Willieid
Royer, Churchwardens, fur the °dance of obstructing
the interment of his wife, Mary Uilbert. Alter stating
in snbstancr the crinsinisting articles, and the defensive
allegation, the learned .lodge proceeded in a long and
elaborate speech to deliver the opinion of the Court, on
the.gdeetion off right which had been snhntitted for its
decision. Sir William first took a view of the different
modes of disposing of the remains of the dead, recorded
in history. and then canoe to consider the argument re-
lative to particular coffins. The argument that rests the
right of admission for particular coffins upon the naked
right of the parishioner to he buried in his Church-
yard. seemed, the Learned Judge observed. rather to
stop short of what is regrinds' to he prZved,
the right of being buried in a done
chest or
trunk of any material, metallic or other, that
his 'aerator* think fit. With respect to the differ-
euce in the duration of the coffins of wood and coffins
of iron, it was, said the Learned Judge, the fault of 'lie
party complainant. if being left by him to judge of this
matter, it ithont sufficient information, I jutilgr ass,i", iu
holding. Ilia coffins of iron are snitch wore, pertly.*
doubly more durable than those of wood. lie then
went on to thew that all contrivances that, whether
intentionally ur not, prolong the time of dissolution
beyond the perio I at which common local usage ha .1
fixed it, is an act or itipistice, sinless compensated ill
one wity or other. It, therefore, these iron coffins
are to bring additional charges upon parishes, they
ought to bring with them a propoitionate compen-
sation ; upon all common principles of estimated
value. one must par for the longer lease whic!i
yon usually take of the ground. At the tati,.
time parishes are not left to carve for themselves
in imposing rites ; they are submitted to the examina-
tion of the Eeriesiastical Magistrate, the Ordinary. " in
remains only," added the Learned Judge, " that I should
direct thr parish to exhibit a table of burial f,es for toe
consideration of the Ordinary. I would r-conimonit,
in the mean time, that the-body should he cummittoit .0
the grave withont farther obstruction. pr •-
judice to the present question, or to the rights of t'se
parish. No prohibitory resolntions existed at the time
of the death; and 1 willingly hay hold of that eirenm-
stitsce to recommend a measure of peace to the living
.ind to the shall admit affidarits to brought
in on both sides, before the tables of hnrial fees.

about to close, as it is generally understood the poll
will end this evening. The case is expected to yo 10.-
fore a Committee of the Howe, upon a question of
right as to the Coventry voters. If that right be
established, Mr. Spooner would take his seat, not-
withstanding Mr. Lau ley's return. Mr. Spooner's
friends state. that he had upwards of r(t10 uulrulled
voters in Ilirminorloam alone, and miny htu;dreds
more in different parts of the country; but that con-
