i ms was arn appeat against a rate tbr the relief of th or of' Hull, on the ground that persone. liable to be rated werttnued. These persons were of three classes: first, individuals having Two- perty in nuLU, but not peraonally resident within its lirniits second, the owners of ships registered in the port; and tii, the landlords of houses, whose tenants were too poor to pay the rae. The COURT now gave judgment, that the two firstclas,es ought to; be included by virtue ofalocal ststute; and that the third dass were rightly omitted according to the princples of the common law_ They therefore ordered the rate to be amended acording to their de- cislon. THE r;lXG V. DAY AND OTHERS. Mr. ADAM moved for a rule calling on Lieutenant Day, Captair Nicholas, and Mr. Nicholas, to show cause whya crimninal informa.. tion should not be exhibited against them for insulting and threaten. ing Mr. Soulby, an alderman of the borough of WVest Los, in oider to provoke him to a b-each of the peace. The three defendants had acted in concert, Captain Nicholas appearing as the ftriend of Mlr. Day, and had threatened to horsewltip the complainant, and applied to him very opprobrious language. Mr. Soulby positively swore he had never given any provocation to Atr.Day, nor aspersed his charac_ ter. The learned counsel stated the circunmstances in dceail; but Ie spoke in so low a tone, and there was so much noise in Court, that we were unable to follow him. The COU RT grarnted a rule to show cause. DOE, ON THE DEMISE OF ST'MES, r. ROF. Mr. POLLOCI; moved in this case for judgment against the casual ejector. The tenant in possession was the Rev. Alexander Fletcher - and the present motion was made for judgment, although the de- claration was not personally served, on the ground that M r. Fletcber had evaded the service.

The servant went into. the lhouse, amd returtned with a message that Alr. Fletcher wouid s"ee the party on Alonday. Upon this, the mate was induced to with_ draw, and to call on lMonday. On this day, Mr. Fletcher called out from an inner room that he would not ree the person at sal, and he left the declarmtion with a lady, whom he understood to be Mr. Fletchet's sister.
