TYLER V. DRAYTON.-The minutes of judgment in this case were settled on Wednesday morning. The Vice-Chancellor decreed full re- stitution of all the property obtained from Griffith Jenkins ; and directed. the defendants to pay off all mortgages and iucumbrances of any descrip- tion with which they or any of them might have burdened any of the estates, and also to account for the rents and profits received, and to
pay all the costs of suit.
RECOVERY or GAMBLING LOSSES.-In the Court of King's Bench, on Monday, a son of Colonel Wardle recovered, in an action of debt under the statute of Ann, the sum of 271. which he had lost to the de- fendant Barnett, who was said to be the keeper of a gaming-house. The evidence for the plaintiff was a person who acknowledged that he had been in the habit of frequenting gambling-houses, and a servant of the plaintiff, whose demand for the money had been met by the defendant's assertion that it had been won fairly. The defendant's counsel contended that the plaintiff's witnesses were unworthy of credit. Mr. Justice Parke left their credit to the jury : the case depended principally on the first witness, who admitted he had frequented gambling-houses ; but it did not necessarily follow that he would be guilty of wilful and cor- rupt perjury. Verdict fin- the plaintiff.
ADEQUATE COMPENSATION.-A Court of Compensation, under the act for the building of London Bridge, was occupied on Monday with a curious case of imposition. A man of the name of Gilbert, a Laker, had made a claim of 13051. for his lease, fixtures, and the loss of his trade. He was a baker without an oven, and though he kept a shop, he did little or no business. The fixtures having been agreed to be taken. for 17/. I2s., the Jury returned the following exemplary verdict: " Goodwill of the trade, one shilling ; lease, one shilling ; expense of removal, ten pounds." LAW OF LIBEL.-In the Court of Common Pleas, on Tuesday, a Mr. Saunders, an attorney resident near Bristol, obtained a verdict against a Mr. Mills, the editor of a Bristol paper, for a second libel on the cha- racter of Mr. Saunders. The damages were 150/. ; but the Court re- fused to certify that it was a proper case for a special jury. Some while ago, an action between the attorney and Lord De Clifford was tried, relative to an alleged trespass on the preserves of his Lordship. The defendant in the present action then published fully the speech of Lord be Clifford's counsel, which reflected very much upon the cha- racter of the attorney Saunders. In consequence, he brought his action, and obtained a verdict against the present defendant. On the next pub- lication of his paper, the latter commented somewhat strongly on the case, and the present action was brought to recover damages in this in- stance also. The Court put it to the Jury, whether they deemed the alleged libel a fair criticism on the proceedings of a court of justice, or the result of a malicious feeling towards the plaintiff. The decision we
have stated.
VALUE OF A JOKE.-The Court of Common Pleas was entertained on the same day with another case of defamation. The plaintiff, whose name was Poile, a man in humble life, had on a former occasion been assaulted by the defendant, a Mr. Trinder, a gentleman of fortune re. siding in Hertford ; and the matter came before a magistrate there. In the course of a heated discussion of the merits of the case, the defendant imputed to the plaintiff that he had stolen a goose from him;-whiter the learned counsel for the defendant contended was only said in joke. However, the Jury thought otherwise, and returned a verdict for the
plaintiff-damages 501.
THE LANDED INTEREST.-A case which beautifully exemplifies the zeal which the aristocracy feel in the improvement of the country, was tried in the Court of Session at Edinburgh the other day. The great
house of Leys, Masson, and Co. at Aberdeen, have a manufactory and bleachfield situated on a meadow on the right bank of the Don, immedi. ately above '.'.Black Balgonie's Brig." The erections have cost more than 200,0001. ; the number of work people directly employed amounts to nearly a thousand ; the mere weekly wages exceed 7001. This splendid establishment has existed for more than thirty years. It might have been imagined that a sense of its manifold benefits would have gained 'access by dint of repeated application to the sensoriums of the lairds in the neighbourhood, but the heads of lairds are not so easily penetrated. So far were the aristocracy on the Don from estimating aright the praiseworthy and successful efforts of those respectable merchants, that four of them actually joined to destroy the manufactory altogether—and why ? Because, as was alleged, a dam built across the river for the pur- pose of supplying the water necessary for carrying it on, intercepted the salmon-fishery in the upper part of the stream,—a fishery worth, to the lairds and the community, it may be, about a tithe of the sum per annum that the manufactory paid to its workmen in a week. The names of the persons who so coolly set themselves, for the supposed annual advan- tage of some hundred foul fish, to destroy the fortunes of a most respect- able firm, and to take the bread out of the mouths of eight or ten thou- sand individuals mediately or immediately supported by them, deserve to be recorded. They were—Lord Forbes, Sir John Forbes of Cragie- var, John Farquharson, Esq. of Haughton, and Hugh Gordon, Esq. of Walser. It was clearly proved, that the dam did not affect the mighty interests of the noble and worshipful complainants ; and therefore the Jury found at once for the Company. The people of Aberdeen appear to have been most highly gratified by the result of the trial ; and they re- ceived the worthy representative of the Company, Mr. Redden, on his return, with triumphal honours. They had rockets and firing and porter, and were as happy as great success in a just cause could make them. And long may they continue so !
