Sir A avait.,n l'occOrr said, that he had a motion
Misvalue in 11411 ease, %%Mich was tot considerable im-
portance, if his honour weeld be plumed to he., it.
The motion saes directed by the Lard Quotellor to
be made to his Honour, and bad for its object the
presention of any inconteniesce that might arise horn
delay. It was, that certain insertious might be made
in the deed of settlement to be drawn op previous too
the solemnization of the marriage of Lord Stewsot
with Lisly Emily Vane Tempest, which had been in-
advertently omitted. The first was respecting cr:-
taili estates to which Lady Rosily was entitled as to.
nant iw fail; and also of ',main limitations in re-
spect to some coal-miner, in the event of Lord
Stewart mortising Lady Emily, which hod been in-
serted by mistake as to go to tenants in tail male;
whinees for the security of the female part of the
r:loimants, the estates should have been described as
to revert to the tenants in tail generally. Certain
directions es to the winking of the collieries would
also be necessary to be inserted; namely, that it
should be binding ow the parties daring the life time
of Lord Stewart, to work the said mine', melees it
would be In thedisadsentags of the estate to do so;
and if, at the death of Lord Stewart, in the event of
his serviviog Lade Emily, the collieries should not
be worth mere than they were at this time, then the
persons in pessesoinn sight beat liberty to take fresh
lessee &tithe some retest at present.

Mt. HART said is! appeared for Lady Antrim, and
Lad no objection to the insertions being made.

died of Losiinboro'. Fo► sometime previous to the'
trensaction io qeestion, the country people in the
neighbourhood had shown great dislike to the ate of
the threshing machine, which had lately been intro.
deiced into the parish. The Plaintiff had signified
his intention of trying the esperiment of thresh.
iota some outs with the machine, and in the month
of October, 1817, he hired one fo► that purpose;
but en the morning of abs 11th of that month,
about ten o'clock, his barn, containing about the
quantity of 73 quarters of oats, 1191 discovered to
be on fir►, and before the flames could be got soder,
the barn, with its contacts, sod too adjscent lodges,
in which agricolto-11 implements were kept, were
completely congested. From the appearance of the
commencement of the fire, there was 'Tel rectos to
suspect that it was the elect of design. A mac,
named Baker, who was on the spot when the tire was
raging, having been heard to say—" That it was a
fine fire—a nice fire, end the b►st fire he had seen
for a long time"—was taken op on suspicion of being
the incendiary ; but there being no positive evidence
of guilt, he was discharged by the leei,t rates, The
Plaintiff haring given the omit notice to the Hun.

Magistrate, that the barn had been feloniously sod
maliciously set on fire, and that he did not know the
