EARTHQUAKE IN SCOTLAND.

GRCZNOCIC, OCT. 28.—0 n Monday morning, about
seven o'clock, an earthquake was very sensibly felt
over the Island of Bu:e. At Rothsay, and in its vi-
cinity,atrentulous motion was experienced which lasted
for a few seconds, and it is said by some to have
been accompanied by a sound similar to that of the
distant rolling of carriage wheels. We understand
that it was also felt here, though so slightly as not
to excite speculation till corroborated by the above in-
formation from Bute.
A very violent shock of an earthquake was felt at
Comae on Tuesday last. We have not yet received
the particulars, but understand that it was more alarm-
ing titan any of its predecessors, and that it was felt,
and the noise with which it was accompanied was
heard, at the village of Blackfore, twelve miles front
Comae.

This was a special ease, arising out of a will : the

RIGKENNY LOYAIi ADDRESS RIACCTBD.
Kizteirse, Tticasnav,--Our Csunty Meeting has
just tertisinated without swing• an Address 1 It was
the mitt numerous we ever bad. An amendment wss
proposed by Captain Bryan, and another by Coun-
sellor Finn. On the question being put on the se-
cond amendment there were two hnwired to one in its
favor, notwithstanding which the High Sheriff de-
clared in favor of the Noes! A division was then
called for, but the Sheriff refused to divide, and left
the Chair; which being taken by Lord Carrick, it
was moved by 0. P. Bushe, Esq. that the thanks of
the Meeting should be given to the Sheriff. The mo-
tion was opposed, and ultimately withdrawn ; it being
distinctly admitted that the Meeting had done noticing !
In other respects the conduct of the Sheriff was blame-
less; he introduced no soldiers, bat acted with tem-
per and patience. There was some loyal intemper-
ance, notwithstanding which, good humour generally
prevailed throngbont the day.

NISI PRIUS.

The number of causes entered is 135. Three have
special juries, and of those one is Rex v. Ridgway, in
which Mr. Murray, of the Constitctional Association,
is the attorney for the prosecution. Rex v. Blacow,
clerk, is also entered, and it is expected that the Re-
♦erend defendant will defend himself in person. The
indictment against Colonel Williams, for a libel on
Mr. Higgins, the gaoler, is not entered, and it is un-
derstood will not he prosecuted.

HiRRING FISHING.—The herring fishing on the
coast of Caithness has experienced an astonishing im-
provement during the last fortnight. During that
period, the Wick boats have ger.er illy averaged up-
wards of 40 cranes each.—The herring fishing has com-
mence on the west coast, and promises to be pretty
general for the season. Average prices are, we under-
stand, 10s. per crane.

Letters from Ostend, of the 4th instant, state, that on
the previous day, the Master of a fishing smack, the
Jenne Francais, when out at sea, descried a large
ship, without any mast, and having all the appearanoe
of being shattered in a storm. They immediately made
towards her, and found thit she w.ss in a deplorable
state, without a single human kluges board. Several
vessels went out for the pnrpose of towing ber into
Ostend or thankenburgb. There were no marks about
lthe vessels by which her name, or the nation shekolonged
es might be digovered. One of the sails bad on it the

ticulars will soon transpire.

LAW

RI-PARTIR LORD ORMOND.
This ease originally came before the Court in conse-
quence of the proceedings of the creditors of the late
Lord Ormond, who conceiving it the most sere course
to pursue for the obtainment of the liquidation of their
claims, had proceeded to take the effects in the Castle
of Kilkenny. Pending theseproceedings, application
was made to the Lord Chancellor to restrain them
from disposing of the family plate,
will &c. which by
of the late Duke were declared to be heir looms
on the estate, be conceiving his English and Irish pro-
perty sufficient to defray them; the trams. having
refused to admit the present Lord Ormond into pos-
srssession of the Castle at Kilkenny.
Mr. Herr said, he was intructed to move that be
(Lord Ormond) should be forthwith put into posses-
si,,n of it, and also to about 40 or 50 acres of land,
whirl' had been usually enjoyed with it. The BritiMsh
and Irish estates, be observed, had bees given to r.
Botler Clark, with a reversionary is
to the
es pre-
sent Duke. subject to the payment of the r
incumbranc,
but as their amount was not yet ascertained correctly,
he would, for the present, decline asking any thing
more than he had done, trustiog, that when it was
remembered that no person could be found to pay the
rent asked for the Castle, and the great injury it had
already sustained, and was likely to suffer from re-
maining untenanted, were taken into consideration,
his Lordship would grant the motion.
Mr. Rourw., on the same side, said the Lord
Ormond was in the military command of the county,
but haul no residence in it.
Mr. HEALD. on the part of Mr. B. Clark, consented
to the Petition.

COURT OF CHANCERY.

IOWI V. ALDIRNAN WOOD AND OTIIIII.

Mr. HEALD made an application to the Court to be
permitted to take a month's farther time, in answering
the bill bled by the plaintiff. He stated that great
time and attention had been bestowed on the drawing
of the answer, bet from the great number of circum-
stances that were reverted to, the immense length of
the bill, and the desire of the defendants to give a
most full and perfect answer to every part of it, the
answer had not yet been completed, and he was,
therefore, compelled to ask the farther indulgence of
Court.

Mr. Marty opposed the application, which he said
was made merely for the purposes of delay. He called
his Lo►dship's attention to the fact that the Court had
before extended its indulgence to the defendants, and
lie submitted that sufficient time had been afforded
them if they had been desirous of using due diligence
in filing their answer.
The LORD CRANCILLOR.—The defendants ought to
make an affida►it. that the time they now require is
really essential for the requisite completion of their
answer, and that this application is not made to the
Court from any improper motive.

Mr. CANTBILL showed cause agair.rt a rule ob-
tained by Mr. Chitty, for vetting aide a judgment of
not. pros. This was one of several actions commenced
by the plaintiff against the publishers of The Literary
Journal for libel. The defendant was merely the
seller of the publication, and stopped the sale as soon
as complaint was made, offering at the same time any
reasonable reparation. I n another action which went
to a Jury upon a writ of inquiry. 5/. damages only had
been given ; and the Court would not, under such cir-
cumstances, the Learned Counsel trusted, interfere.

3lr. CHITTY, in support of his rule, contended that
the judgment had been irregularly signed. It would
he rhenper to both parties to set the jcdgment aside
than to commence proceedings de novo.
The COI'RT discharged the rule.

We received yesterday Syndney Gazettes to the 3d
Yrinnary inclusive. On the 23d January, a Rene&
Meeting of the Emancipated Colonists was held, par.
•uant to requisition, at the Court•honse, Sydney, at
which, amongst others, they agreea unanimously to
the following. Resolutions :
'• •2. That, from the first establishment of this
Colony in 17911, up to a late period (April, lti2o) it
ha• been held and acted upon, that persons arriving
in this Colouy under sentence of transportation, and
arerwards obtaining their pardon, either by service
of the term, absolute or conditional pardon, might and
could acquire and possess landed and other property,
und enjuv all the civil rights of free citizens.
" 3. That, by a late determination of the Coort of
Ring's Bench in England, and acted upon lately in
the Courts of Civil Judicature in this Colony, whereby
it has been declared that conditional and absolute
pardons, granted by the Governors of this Colony, are
of no effect to the parties holding them, in restoring
them to the legal enjoyment or exercise of any civil
right, until their names shall have been inserted in
.:•rne general pardon, under the Great Seal of Eng.
the vital interests of the Emancipated Colonists
are exposed to infinite prejudice and danger, and their
re.trrration to their rights, as citizens, protracted
lwroud the period that either justice or policy can
'4;nire•

.‘ 4. That this state of the law, in its consequences,
afterts not oily the liberty, property, and civil rights
et the Emancipated Colonists, but also a very consider-
altle part of the property of the Emigrant Colonists,
I -cause the titles to a considerable portion of the
I titled property, and the possession of a considerable
portion of the personal property now possessed by
Emigrant Colonists, have been derived through and
*tom Emancipated Colonists."
They alto agreed to address the Throne, and peti-
tion Parliament upon the subject, and to appoint an
rot to convey their Petitions to, and to conduct all
matters in England, relative to them and their general
i•iterests ; and to appoint a standing Committee to
snkeriptions, defray expenses, &c.; upwards of

'ludo, fowls, and pigs. In some yards from sto 20
and 30 fowls, quite well in the evening, have been
t.'und dead the following morning; the only intima-
tion given of approaching death being a giddiness,
agemled with weakness. The pigs are suddenly seized
with a complaint similar to the staggers, and die al-
most immediately after.

TATE AND ANOTIIER V. NFAVE.

This was an action of trover„ brought by the as-
signees of a bankrupt to recover from the defendant
the value of certain goods. :1,000/., taken by defend
ant under a warrant of attotnev, and as was alleged,
after an act of bankruptcy.
There were two qnestions in this case ; first, as to
the commission of au act of bankruptcy ; and se-
• whather an undue preference had not been
• ven to the defendant by the bankrupt over the other
e editors. It appeared, that at the time the warrant
of attorney was given, the bankrupt told defendant
that his affairs were desperate: that he had bills out-
stisnfling beyond his power to take ap ; and, in fact,
that he was a ruined man. Upon these expressions
uet•larations the Learned Judge (Dallas) left it to
the Jnry to say whether the security was not given in
vintuniplAtion of an act of bankruptcy, and with a
tilt• of giving the defendant a preference over the
uthrr creditors. Its to the second point, that of an
act of ha n!irup!,•l-. the evidence proved that the bank-
:up: left hi% house after breakfast on Thursday morn-
i::;•, :and went to bin brother'!, where he remained till
Coven at night ; he then returned to his own house,
• remained till two o'clock on Friday m.
v. Jen he again went out, and did not return till the
lle remained at home a few hours on the
Sunday, but again quitted home before the day ex-
pired, and returned no more.

The Jury, under these circumstances, found a ver-
dict for the plaintiffs on both these points.—Datnages

--•■••••--
COURT OF L17(G14 BERM Irs.v 41.

SIOVIORNET V. WILLIAMS.
TM. was an action for money bad and received to the
plaintiff's use.
Mr. SCARLITT and Mr. PARRS were for the plaintiff;
and Mr. MARILTArf, and Mr.Ttnnatt. were for the de-
tefendant.

The plaintiff was an Merritt' merchant of the Pro-
..nce of Massachusetts, and had employed his Agents.
News. Carter and Stour, to effect insurances•on goods
• onsizaed in 1815 to their care, as factors at Liverpool.
';'he latter employed the defendant to do the needful as
ship broker, without acquainting them at the time
!sat the plaintiff was interested in the goods. An aver-
age loss having happened, the defendant was employed
io recover it from the underwriters. There was 'general
at count current between Carter and Stour and the de-
l...infant. The latter did not become acquainted with the
plaintiff's interest in the I nsurance, until February, 1818.
..t that time the balance of accounts was turned in favour
tarter and Stour. They had since become bankrupts,
aral were indebted both to the plaintiff and defend-
al t respectively. The present action was brought by
the plaintiff to recover the insurance and premium which
i,e fond received from the underwriters in respect to the
goods in question, and the point in the cause was, whe-
Tiirr the defendant had a lien upon the proceeds for a debt
contracted with him by Carter and Stour, subsequent to
I'.•h. ISIS, when the balance was turned in favour of the
lay ter. and when he had become acquainted with the fact,
the plaintiff was interested in the goods. It was
admitted, that down to that period he had a lien, but that
it ,vas gone alter he knew the plaintiff's interest.
Air. Justice 111 MT ruled with the plaintiff, who bad a
verdict of 841.45. with liberty to the defendant to move
to enter a noasnit.

INECCTION OF DA/7i) lIIGGALCT.

Fotsist.non, JULT 20.—0 n Wednesday morning this
unfortunate young man underwent the heaviest penalty
of the law, for the murder of the I).m.fries turnkey, at
the usual place of execution, head of Libbertan'a Wynd.
About half-paid eight o'clock he was brought out e( the
cell in the Lockup-Douse, where he had spent the Digit%
preceded by Bailie., Child and M.lienzie, and the city
officers, and attended by the Bev. Ilenry Grey, the Rev.
Dr..lnderson, and the Bey. 'lr. Porteous, chaplain of
the jail. The appearance of the unhappy youth, en quit.
lug the prison, was firm and unshaken, and his conete-
nance exhibited a degree of mildness astonishieg to
those acquainted with the daring hardihood of his cha-
racter and exploits. The calm serenity, however, de-
picted on his countenance was changed for a moment to
an expression of grief, and he even shed a few tear,. c,s,
hearing an exclamation of sorrow involantarile burs.
from a few women assembled in !Ashes ton's ll'ynd
catch a glipse of his tall slender person, as be passed to
the platform. When on the scaffold, part of the 130th
Psalm was sung, and a fervent and impressive prayer
was offered up by Mr. Grey. Ilselkart then shook hands
with the ministers and magistrates, bidding them fare-
well in a most affectionate manner, and ascended two
or three steps of the platform ; but, wishing. to say a few
words, he came down to the scaffold, when, twning
the multitude, he earnestly conjured them to avoid
heinous crimes of disobedience to parents, inattention
to the Iloly Scriptures. and being idle and disorderly.
When he had finished his short address, he requestei
Mr. Grey to give out part of the 23d Psalm, which wt.,
accordingly sung. lie then knelt down, and prayed
fervently and eloquently for a few minutes, after which
he took his station on the drop, and spent a few minutes
in prayer, when he gave the signal, and was launched
into eternity. Ile was decently dressed in black, and
seemed stouter than when on his trial. The crowd as-
sembled on the occasion was immense.

Wednesday the Lord Advocate received a warrant
from his Majesty, declaring his royal pleasure to extend
his greet. and mercy to fifty-one persons, against whom
true bills for high treason were found before the Forms
of Oyer and Terminer, held in Scotland last. year, but
who were not brought to tri.il, odioog to their having
absconded. Immediate orolcrs wetWn consequence given,
that suc:o of these persons as have been taken into
custody should be liberated in the course of this day.

ceedings against the others have been ordered to be
discharged.

ALEXANDER V. SOUTHEY.

This was an action on the ease, with a count in trove'',
to recover special damages for the injury alledged to
have been sustained by the plaintiff, in consequence of
the detention by the defendant of a quantity of Hebrew
types, saved from a 6re which happened in the plaintiff's
house in Whitechapel, about two years since.
Mr. UZNMAY anal Mr. CHITTY were for the plaintiff,
and Mr. SCARIATT and Mr. litillMlT for the defendant.

The first count of the declaration was abandoned early
in the cause, and the plaintiff then resorted to the coast
in trover. After the tire alluded to bad happened, the
type in question was deposited in the hands of the de-
timilant, (who is the Agent of the Albion Fire Insurance
Company, with whom the plaintiff had effected a policy)
for safety.
The plaintiff had resorted to an action upon the policy
nud recovered to a certain amount, with the right to the
salvage. He accordingly demanded of the defendant the
type in question, which the latter refused to deliver
ithont an order from the Directors of the Company. I t
was some time afterwards, however, delivered to him, as
was alleged, in an injured and almost useless state ; in
consequence of which he brought the present action.
31r. Justice BEST charged the Jury, that a demand
with a qualified refusal, such as had been given in this
case, was not a conversion to maintain Troyer; it was
only evidence of a conversion, and therefore the action
would not lie ; and there was no pretence for saying
that the plaintiff had sustained special damage.
'the Jury found for the defendant.
STICWARS C. HELL.

This was an action of assumpsit on r. policy of insur-
ance on goods on board the Nesbitt, at and from London
to Jamaica generally.
Mr. SCARLITT and Mr. CANPIMLL were for the plain-
tilts, and the SOLICITOR-06:4ERAle for the defendant.

The goods in question having arrived at 31orant Bay,
In Jamaica, were taken out of the vessel, and put into
shallop'', for the purpose of being carried to Duckingfield
Hall estate, the place of their ultimate destination, the
seisel herself being of two great a draft of water to go
nearer that point with safety. Some of the goods so put
into shallops were lost in their passage. Proof was given
°fan usage to land goods in this manner, under such cir-
cumstances ; and the qustion was, whether the policy
uonld cover the risk of landing the goods in that man-
ner, after the vesel had arrived in Jamaica ?

Mr. Justice Bass. ruled with the plaintiff in point of
law, but left it with the Jury to say whether the defend-
ant had used due diligence in landing the cargo.
The Jury found fur the plaintiff.
