(Signed) G. STROTTD, Secretary. I WHEREAS a Paper,of which a copy is inserted below*, bearing the signature of five gentlemen of the Medical Profession, (whether the whole of them are legally entitled to the denomination of S irgeon, I will lot stop now to enquire), has been printed and extensively i^i.tril>med in this neighbourhood, stating that certain re- ports had been circu'ated by uie, tendiug to injure the pro- fcssiona' character of Mr Hussell, Surgeon, as to his treat- ment of Michael Tlegan,and also stating that, the professional opinion which I hid given, that Miehael Rean's thigh was dislocated," was not correct, but that it was 1, a simple frac- ture of the neck of the thigh hone. I feel called upon to state the real history of this ca-e. as far as I am concerned, or kuow and let every impartial person dccidc, whether the publication of this document, which tends to the iu- jury of my professional reputation, be justifiable or not. Michael Hcgan, a woikinan in t. e employment of the Penydarran Iron Co. sustained a severe accident in the works, and was attended by Mr Russell and his assistants In the course of five or six months after the accident, some friends of the man, wishing for other advice, called in Mr John Martin, who after an examination, stated that the thigh was dislocated, and that in consequence of the length of time which had elapsed, without reducing the dislocation, it was then impossible to dfect it. This state mcnt of Mr Martin was impugned, and his surgical ability called in question, and I was professionally requested by him to examine the case; I did so. and gave my decided and unqualified opinion, and to which I stili adhere, that it Was a dislocation of the thigh bone, and not a fracture. I he man has since been examined by Mr Hopkins, of Llandaff, and also by Mr Recce, of Cardiff, both of them Members of the Royal College of Surgeons, and justly eminent ID the Profession, who, unhesitatingly 'and un- qualifiedly, concarred in the opinion expressed by Mr Martm and myself. To put .the case beyond the pos- sibility of doubt, Michael Regan is gone to Loudon, to be there examined by the most distinguished men in the 1 rofessiou; and as the case has been thus thrust before the public, the public shall, as soon as it has been as- certained, be made acquainted with the result. In the mean while, permit me to state, that in com- plying with the request of Mr Martin, 1 was strictly within the ru es of professional dnty and etiquette, and that I was not actuated by any intention of wounding the feelings or in- juring Uie reputation of any Member of the Profession. JOB JAMES, Surgeon. Merthyr lydfil. May 22nd, 1835 I he following is the paper referred to: — AI ^I'^feas reports have been circulated in Merthyr. by Mr Job James and others, tending to injure theprofessiona c arac cr o ilr Russell, Surgeon, stating that Michael egan, a ourer, who some time since had a compound riT 0 1 .e 3* an<' a simple fracture of the neck of the L 18 n°W s"ffering from an irreduced dislocation o t e t ig and disabled in consequence of the unskilful treatment and great negligence of Mr Russell. ^e' ',he undersig»ed Medical Men of Merthyr and the neighbourhood have, in conscquence of such reports, re- spectively examined the said Michael Regan, and do hereby certify that there is no dislocation of the thigh; that t.ie treatment his been proper, and that no negligence is apparent, biu on the contrary, we consider it to be a good and effectual cure, (considering the nature of the ac- cident); and that there is nothing in the case to cast discredit or want of professional skill on the part of Mr Russell#' "JAMES LEWIS, Surgeon, Cardiff.

People of wealth and respect- ability are leaving the city in great numbers. In the north some skirmishing is going forward to the advan- tage of the Carlists. On the 12th Zumalacnrreguv was within two leagues of Vittoria. Since their late suc- cesses the Carlists are increasing in other parts of the kingdom in numbers and boldness. The news received this morning is highly unfavourable to the Queen's cause, and has produced much panic and confusion in the city. The twenty-three political prisoners who have sub- mitted to the proceedings were brought before the Chamber of Peers on Tuesday, but the Procureur Ge- neral was of opinion that all the prisoners should be present, and the court adjourned till the next day when the whole number was to appear. The Estates of Bohemia have addressed the Emperor of Austria, who returned them a most gracious answer. The Diet of Transylvania is about to be iin- mediately convoked. The Emperor is indisposed. Fires, which from their frequency can scarcely be con- sidered accidental, have taken place in different parts of the Austrian dominions. The Brussels papers of Tuesday, continue to dispu e about the raising of Belgian volunteers for the Queen of Spain. It seeins that some military intriguers 'lave made such an offer, but no answer has been re- -ceived to it from Madrid. Desertions from the Belgian army to Holland are daily increasing. Letters from Persia bring accounts that the greatest anarchy prevails in that country. Mohamet Mjrza has appeared at the head of sixty thousand men and sixty pieces of cannon before the gates of Teheran, where he proclaimed himself King. Prince Shah, Governor of the town, wished to oppose his entry, but was obliged to retire, owing to Ali Yankhan, general of his army, declaring in favor of Mohamet.

.1jKHf'HYR TYDVIL, S.WUIiD.j¥,…
.1jKHf'HYR TYDVIL, S.WUIiD.j¥, May 2J, 183 5 We have arrived at the middle of May, and we may well ask what has been done in the great Council of the Nation, that deserves the name of business l he turbulence of Faction, it is true, has displaced an Administration, every motion of which was in the path of improvement. every sen- timent in the spirit of the Reform Hill; and has substituted another, in which self-confidence is the basis, irresponsible agency and influence main irigredients, and the Trail of the Serpent" is and will be over all its measures. The stability of such an Administration is a contradiction in terms; we may as well speak of the stability of wind or wave. The salaries of Office, things the most preciotis in the sight of Whigs, are not worth a quarter's purchase. One inference from a!l this, is, that the remainder of the Session will be losl-the Melbourne Cabinet will break to pieces of itself, and another Dissolution of Parlia- ment will be necessary to get rid of the baneful, the tyrannical and factions Majority. It must be obvious to every thinking person, that there is no remedy for the present state of things But all union of the best parties—the genuine Whig and the Conservative-gilcil an union as would reduce the Radicals within their legitimate limits, and the O'Coiiii(-Il Faction to a cypher- It is in the strifes of equally balanced parties that such materials derive an importance not their own, or, to use a household phrase, "Never did pot boil, but the scum was uppermost:" the feculence and froth are uppermost with a vengeance now. We have an Administration greatly influenced by a Factl(M, -ii)flaitied and violent-that can rejoice in public disorders to gratify private resentments—which Ctll set the Nation in flames that they may pIll lid er in the conflagration. It is too late to deplore the evils by which the itt form Bill was accom- panied the sole "im of the Conservatives now. should be effectually -to obtain for themselves, all the good of which it is capable to expunge and purify the lists in the Courts of Registration to permit no illegal voter to be enfranchised by fraud, and to prevent 'he legal voter from disfranchise- ment by indolence or neglect. The querulous jealousy with which societies, constitutionally embodied to effect these important objects are viewed by the Radical press, is a proof of their efficacy in the good cause. When these purposes have been effected, then will coins the hour of triumph for the Conservative canye and of good government—then the House of Commons will be purified of members who have no business tlti,re,who represent neither wealth, respecta- bility, nor intelligence, of men who besides their own passions, interests, and prejudices, have brought with them those of their constituents.— Let us turn the battery, which Whig-Radicals have erected, against themselves let us, to use a phrase of Sir R. Peel in his invaluable speech, ''stand by the Constitution,"—a more powerful, a more solemn invocation cannot be uttered it includes our dearest, our most valuable possesions, our Liberties, our Religion. It calls upon us in the name of those from whom we have received it, and ofonr posterity, to whom we have tacitly premised rt shall descend inviolate, to ullite in its defence whether against the open assault-s of pseudo Regenerators or the secret and insiduous coun- sels of the Papist and the Infidel. We have before hinted, that if better securities than have been obtained, by the Oath of Roman Catholics, cannot be granted, it will be our duty to petition for the Repeal of the Emancipation Bill. This opinion is daily gaining ground, and in a letter from the Earl of Winchelsea, addressed to the Protestants of England, we find this passage:— I feet that I am not too confident in hoping, when I direll upon the increased and apparent danoer which now awaits us, that I may see the Protestants rise as one man. throughout the country, with a bold and firm determination to exert every constitutional means in their power to restore those barriers, which were so unfortunately surrendered, and to drive from the Citadel of the State, those who obtained admission by Oaths, which they are daily and openly violating." We are thankful to know that the Conservative party in the House is strong enongh to keep any great mischief, which the O Connell Admi- nistratiou may design, at bay. and that there is a controlling power in other branches of the Legislature. In the meantime, let there be amongst ourselves, no laziness, no apathy, no despondency," and we shall not have long to com- plain of an Administration compl)S^d of men of second and third-rate ability- \Ve shall soon experience the truth of Burke's assertion- That there is no qualification for Government but virtue and wisdoht, actual or prcaompUve wherever tin y are actually found, they have, in whatever state, condition, profession or trade, the passport of Heaven to human place and honor.^ Of which Member of our present Administration can it be said that he has the legitimate passport ?

Lord John Russell has been returned for Stroud. His speech on this occasion is chiefly occupied on the topics of Corporation Reform, and the freedom of election of Members of Par- liament under the Reform Act. His Lordship, of course, dwells upon the Abuses of the Funds of Corporate Institutions for party objects. Upon this subject we would observe, that if there be any reason for the limitation of popular power in the Constituency for the election of Members of Par- liament; such reason is equally strong and conclu- sive in favor of the limitation of CorporationCon- stiluencies. It is to the intelligent classes alone, and those who have solid interests in the upholding of civil order. that civil libei-ty of any descriptioncan safely been trusted. Afterdisinissing thesubjectof Corporation Reform, his Lordship censures the re- luctance with which his political opponents yielded to the claims of the Catholics; yet his Lordship, in another part of his speech, admits the possibility of his own party getting 41beyond the deliberate judgment of the cuntry" in matters of innovation. Let us apply this admission at the same time connecting it with his Lordship's declared at- tachment to the existing Institutions of the country Iltl(ling to these latter, he observes—"I think those Institutions excellent in themselves; I believe that they are well iitted toprodtK-e the happiness of the people of this country. I believe moreover, that there is no wish in the people of this country to do what alarmists attributed to them-to destroy or weaken the Monarchy of this country." Is there any one acquainted with the uat-ure and spirit of Priestly influence, such as it 11 has been, down to a recent period, exhibited by the political Hierarchy of Rome; who knows the practical nature and tendency of the soporific it has proved itself so eminently capable, and, alas willing to administer to the passive consciences of its adherents, that will doubt the wisdom of having on this important subject, set a watchful guard, in order to prevent the Legislature from getting "beyond,the deliberate judgment of the country. The spirit of Popery has but recently been subdued and shamed into the acknowledgment and reason- able conviction of the inutility of political tyranny it is doubtful indeed, whether an earlier conces- sion of its claims would have benefited the cause of a just and enlightened freedom. That a just discretion should have been opposed, i" this in- stance, to the zeal ofinnovation, which iliig, t other- wise prove too strong for the advanced intelligence of even the present age, cannot be denied- The conclusion of his Lordship's speech is occupied in the consideration of the electing freely the Repre- sentatives in Parliament. He herv alludes to the Ballot, and leans towards thesystem of open voting. Upon this we would only observe, that personal and therefore party influence must, it is evident, always operate to a vast extent in elections, and it seems impossible that it should not operate by the usual appeal to the passions and interests of the Constituencies, whatever be the mode adopted for the process of voting, be it secret or open.

NATIONAL TRIBI TE TO Slit ROBERT PEEL, BART.—The inhabitants of Brighton have set on loot a subscription for a national tribute to Sir R. Peel. Will the "Men of Glamorganshire," or of the Principality at large, be behind in the good work 1 INVERNF.SS-SHIKE.—The cause of our Protes- tant Constitution has triumphed in the county of Inverness. The Chisholm is returned. The county of Inverness has nobly done its duty; it deserves the thanks—the warmest and most cordial thanks- of every honest Protestant in the British empire. It has shewn that no cosiderations of private friend- ship, no influence of private respectability, have been permitted to bias the electors in the exercise of a public duty—that of selecting, in a great crisis, a Re- presentative who will hold up his hand against the spoliation of the Protestant Church. GENERAL TURNPIKE ACT.—VIR Byng has ob- tained leave to bring in a bill to explain certain parts of the General Turnpike Act, having reference to the tolls taken on dung and manure,
GLAMORGANSHIRE,
GLAMORGANSHIRE, QUEEN'S DRAWING ROOM.— Among those con- nected with our immediate district who attended the Queen sDrawing room, on the 14th instant, were- the Marquis and Marchioness of Bute, the Marquis and Marchioness of Worcester, the Earl and Countess of Dunraven, Viscount Adare and Lady U" Anna Maria Quin, Viscount and Viscountess Hereford, andthe Hon. Miss Deverenx, "iscon nt and Viscountess Holmesdale, Lord and Lady Hodney. Mr ivian, M.P. and Mrs and Miss Vivian, Mrs George Sloane Stanley, Archdeacon Venables, Captain Robert Lindsay, Reverend Hugh Bold, and Mr Mathew Moggridge, Mrs Trent and Miss Strangways (sisters to -Urs Edwards Vaughan.) NATIONAL PROVINCIAL BANK.—We are happy to learn that the branch of this bank, lately opened at Cardiff, is about to establish a sub-branch at Bridgend, under the management of Mr. William Llewellin, of that place. The want of a bank has long been felt for the flourishing town and improving neighbourhood of Bridgend; and we have no doubt that this es- tablishment, which we are informed does business on the most liberal terms, will receive the countenance and support it so well merits. The safety to the public in the joint-stock system of banking is strongly demonstrated by the list of proprietors of the National Bank, which we have lately seen, wiiose available pro- perty cannot be estimated at less than ten millions sterling. It has already established 16 branches in different parts'of the kingdom, and the best proof of success is an advance of six per cent. on the value of the shares within the last fortnight. DEHH OF IRs DAVIES, OF TI(EGROSE.—It is our melancholy duty to state that this amiable and truly charitable lady departed this life on Sunday, the 17th instant, at the advanced age of 86. Possessed of wealth, and of a most kind and generous disposition, this lady was throughout her long life distinguished for acts of charity and benevolence, and as a munificent supporter of every good and charitable institution. Tiie poor in her own neighbourhood were, in a great measure, supported by her; and many, to* whom during her life she allowed weekly sums have been, we have reason to believe, provided for in her will. SWANSEA AND NEATII HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. The first show took place on Thursday, the 31st. We regret that we cannot do justice to the exhibition. Our correspondent fromSwansea.speaks of the quantity, quality, and beauty of the productions, and that had it been their gayest day (the Regatta) a doubt might arise whether the large assembly room would have been better filled. We may give in our next a list of the prizes awarded. COWBRIDGE—We have heard from an authority which we believe to be authentic, that an address to C. R. M. Talbot, Esq. has beeen got up bv the Whig- Rads. at Cowbridge, eulogising his Parliamentary conduct. We believe its signatures are entirelv those of ten pound householders, and "not all have signed this thing," that it is in a great degree hole and cor- nerish; of course it is, as Mr Burchell would sav, mere fudge." DREADFUL ACCIDEsT.-On Juesdav, the 18th instant, a little boy went out bird-nesting, near the village of Penmark. He had not proceeded far w.ien he. discovered a goldfinch's nest in an elder tree. In climbing up the tree his foot slipped, when a sharp piece of a broken branch penetrated into the cavity of the abdomen, where it broke, leaving a fragment of the stick, about six inches long. This was eventually extracted, by making an incision between the hip and lower ribs. The operation was performed by Mr E. Williams, surgeon, of Cowbridge. There are hopes of the boy's recovery. REVOLUTION AMONGST THE BFEs.-Mr Mason, gardener at Pen-y-darran, has informed us of the fol- lowing curious circumstance which occurred among his bees on Wednesday last:—Between twelve and one o'clock on that day he observed the whole of the bees belonging to one of his hives high in the air swarming, and in about ten minutes they made a lodgment on the branch of a Portugal laurel tree. After they had rested about the usual time, Mr Mason examined all his hives, six in number, to ascertain from which of them the swarm came; he found one empty, ex- cepting some young 'bees incapable of flying; the comb was perfectly healthy, and full of young bees Mr Mason, therefore, to save the progeny returned them to the same hive from which they came, but, to his surprise, after remaining quiet for about ten mi- nutes, they again issued from the hive and swarmed in the air for' about a quarter of an hour, but in rather an irregular body. Tiiey then descended to the remaining five hives, the fronts of which were covered with them, and commenced a general attack upon all. The work of slaughter commenced rapidly, and at six o'clock in the evening not one of the assailants was left alive, and he believes some of the others perished with them of course all the young bees left in the hive must be lost. Mr Mason states that he has studied the habits of bees for the last 25 years, and never knew, nor heard of any circumstance similar to that above related. He would be glad if any correspondent would obhgeJum by giving any probable cause for this unusual emigration and attack. [On this subject a Printer s Devil" has courteously handed us the following, with a request from his Sable-ship that it may be inserted.] Mr Editor, Sir,-Tite above par. should have been headed Kadicuhsm amongst the Bees. It is clear the party so signahy defeated were the O Connellites and Russell ites of the bee-hives. Deluded by their demagogue leaders, they first left their peaceful homes, where they had lived so happily and prosperously, and after a noisy hubbub in the air, went to the Portugal Laurel to a Radical meeting, for which no doubt the tocsin had been loudly sounded. There, like others who carry their stings in their tails, they' formed Resolutions." The superintending power (Mr Mason) kindly returned them, by the force of o-ent'eness to their homes but, unhappily, the destructive cry was again sent forth by their frantic leaders and again they sallied out to pull down all the InsfÙutions" of their community, in- tending to share, no doubt in the general scramble. The Conservatives, however, bravely rallied round those institutions, which are at once their decus et tut amen and which they are determined shall be handed down to their children unspotted and uninjured. The result has been seen. The Conservatives of the good cause have triumphed, and the Radicals have sunk, defeated and discomfited, leaving their unoffending famifies to feel all the dreadful consequences of their rashness. A man may learn some curious lessons from the bees Mr I,' ditor.D ik a LOS." INQUEST.—An inquest was held on flie Wth instant, at Merthyr Tydvil, by L- Rees, Esq. Coroner, on the body of William Evans, w boy of three years and a half old, who was found drowned in the Glamor- gan Canal, near Rhyd-y-Car. The poor little child had wandered with another little boy of the same age to pick flowers on the canal bank, and both fell in but one was saved by a girl who happened to be passing by. Verdict-Accidental Death. ACCIDENT.-On the 14th instant, David Thomas, a miner, of Plymouth Works, was killed by the fall of a heavy stone, in the level wliere he was working. LLANDAFF, MAY 22.- There was found here. yesterday, in the Mill-stream, a little way "below Llandaff Mill, by some men employed in letting out the water, for the purpose of fisning, the trunk of a fine newly-born infant, without its head and legs, care- fully tied up in a piece of the skirt of a female's old black bombazine gown. The child was perfectly formed and, to all appearance, born alive; and the manner in which the little innocent seemed to have been deprived of life, or at least, in which the body had been treated afterwards, showed a determined and worse than brutal savageness in the inhuman perpetrator of this horrible deed, that excited feelings of the strongest horror and indignation in all who examined the mangled remains. The head and legs, which have not yet been found, seemed to have been literally chopped off at two strokes of some large and very sharp instrument—the former close to the sliou!ders tile, latter between the hips and the navel—the child being held at the time by the feet in a bent position with the back of its head on a block or something of the kind, as part of the skin of the chest close to the neck was cut off with the head, so that when the body was straightened, the neck and chest bone protruded bare; the viscera too must have been thrown back into the chest by the position of the body, for had they been in their proper place they must have been cut through, but they were uninjured. It is supposed that not more than twenty-four hours could have elapsed after the bundle was thrown into the water before it was picked up, as the bones ap- peared to have been very recently cut and the blood flowed qu te fresh from the neck and chest. Since the above was written, the miller s female servant, who was immediately suspected, has been taken into custody, and, it is said, there are sufficient proofs discovered to ensure her committal for concealing the birth, but it is feared not for the murder. EXCHEQUER COURT,—12 MAY, 1835. [We are induced to give the following very elaborate judgment, because it is on a subject of the greatest in- terest in this district.] JUDGMENT OF MR BARON PARKE. In the case of Hlukemore and Broker against the Glamorganshire Canal Company. This case was tried before my brother Alderson at the last summer assizes for the county of Gloucester, when a generid verdict was found for the plaintiffs. A motion has been made for a new trial, and the case fully argued before my brothers Bollard, Alderson, Gurnev, and myself, on several grounds which will be considered. It will be proper first to state the circum- stances under which these questions arise. The Act for making the Glamorganshire Canal passed in the year liOO. Its course was from Merthyr Tydvil to a place called the Bank, near Cardiff. The principal supply of water was to be obtained from the river Taff. Before that time mills and iron works had been esta- blished, which were entirely dependent upon the waters of that river. If the canal cou'd not je constructed without depriving these mills and works of the water required for their use, it would be necessary to buy up their interest- If there was water sufficient for both, means should be taken that the construction of the < canal should not deprive the mills and works of anv portion of the water, to which by law they are entitled. t The latter was the course preferred; and clauses were introduced to give protection to those prior interests. 1 By the fourth section the mills and works of the Earl of Plymouth were protected in the complete enjoyment of all the water in the river, and the company were pro- hibited from taking even the lockage-water from one I level of the canal to another; for that clause provides that the lockage-water should l>e discharged when the lock is filled from above, directly into the river Taff, and not through the lower gates of the lock. The 5tlil 6th, and 7th sections, which were more limited and framed for the protection of the Meiin Griffith Works and the Pentyrdl Works, by appopriatcd to them only 0 y the surplus water, after that required for the use of the canal had been subtracted. The 7th section is the most important, and provides That a proper weir shaH be made upon the side of the said canal, by the said Com- pany of proprietors, above the weir already erected upon the river Taff, for conveying the water from the said river to the iron works of William Lewis, Esq. called Pentyrch W orks, in some place between the brook at Nant Garw Turnpike and the said weir al- ready erected for securing tiie surplus water, or such as shall not be necessary for t'le use of the said canal, for the benefit of Pentyrch Works aforesaid; which weir shall be kept in constant and sufficient repair at the expense of the said Company of Proprietors; and for better securing such surplus water, for the benefit of the said Pentyrch Works, the lock which shall be made upon the said canal, below and nearest to the said weir already erected as aforesaid, shall always be kept in good and- sufficient repair and condition by the saiJ Company of Proprietors, for the purpose of preventing leakage or waste of water." Tiie construction of this section gave rise to a question and considerable dis- cussion in the motion for a new trial. After 1790 the Company proceeded to construct their canal. In 1796 another act passed, reciting that the i Company had .raised ^90,000 which they were ein- powered by the former act to raise that they had ex- t pended that sum in the canal and other works, and f required a further sum to finish and complete the same. Further, that they were extending the navigation from the Bank to the Lower Layer, below the town of Cardiff; which extension, wuen made part of the said canal, would be of great pub'ic utility. It then gave a power to make the extension, and to raise £10,000 I more for that purpose, and prescribed the manner in which the money sliou'd be employed: and by the third section it was provided that the works should be extended, and that all other works incident to the canal and extension should be completed within two years next after the passing of tiie act. That act re- ceived the Royal assent on the 25th of April, 1796; the 26th of April, 1798, was therefore the limit for the completion of the canal and the extension. In the year 1809, the Canal Company on a spot higher than the Pentyrch Works, erected an engine, called the Pontyreen Engine, which by increasing the t water in the upper parts of the Canal" by pumping aO j additional quantity from the Taff, enabled the Company to pass a greater number of barges than could haver passed by the supp'y from the Taff, according to the ? original construction of the Canal. This would occasion and increased expenditure of water at the locks be'ow. and prevent the same quantity of water from going over the weir, erected in pursuance of the seventh section, called the parliamentary weir, for the use of the Pentyrch Works, as had gone over previously- This it is said was not complained of until the deepen- ing of the sea lock, by means of which, not only the traffic of the Canal was extended, but a new traffic (the carrnure of coals) introduced. This occasioned a still larger demand of water from above, and further di- minished the quantity passing over the weir to the Pentyrch Works. In 1827, one of the plaintiffs, Mr lakemore, brought an action against the Company for an injury which he considered he sustained from the abstraction of water, both from the Mel in Griffith and Pentyrch Works, by the erection of the Pontvreeii steam engine, the deepening of the canal, the making the sea lock, and the diversion of water by the fraudu- I lent weir as it was called. The plaintiff obtained a verdict on that occasion, with entire damages in the whole declaration. The company sued out a writ of error in the Exchequer, and judgment for the plaintiff was affirmed. The company then sued sued out a writ of error in the House of Lords, and there too the judgment was affirmed in 1832. The judgment in thnt case was given in evidence on the trial of this cause. Notwithstanding that judment, the Company persisted in the use of the Pontyreen engine and the sea lock, by which they abstracted water from the plaintiffs works; and although they have apparently removed the injury arising from the weir, called the fraudulent weir, by placing at the dry season boards thereon, which as well as the locks they kept water tight, they substituted for the weir, by which the water was formerly supplied t41 the lower parts of the canal, a notch placed ne: r the lock, next below the parliamentary weir. Tiiistiutclli5 a draw-gate suspended above a fixed "m; and by being kept constantly open at a given depth, the aperture being capable of regulation as to size, a given and lI- mited quantity of water is continually flowing to the lower levels, to supply the deficiencies arising from the original construction of the canal. Therefore, this is only the old fradulent weir in a limited and regulated state. The learned judge was of opinion on the trial th;lt this notch was not authorised by the seventh section, and that the plaintiffs were entitled to recover damages arising from a greater consumption of water by reason of the increased trade oft the canal, if occa- sioned by the unauthorised acts of the Company. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiffs, with ^500 da- mages. A rule nisi for a new trial was obtained on tiircc grounds. First, that improper evidence was received- Secondly, that the learned judge misdirected the jury- And thirdly, that the verdict was not warranted by the evidence. The first objection was, that the verdict and judg: ment in the former action, in which Mr Blakemore alone was the plaintiff, was received in evidence in this action brought, by Blakeinore and Booker against the canal Company, the issues in both being similar; a"1* i it was contended that it was inadmissible, first, because 1 there was no sufficient evidence to shew that the present | plaintiffs were privy in estate to the plaintiff in that »c' j tion, and if they were, secondly, that the circumstance i Booker having been examined as a witness in that cas^» j would prevent his making use of that verdict in »" I action in which he was a party. We are all of opinio" that this objection is unfounded. r There is no doubt that a verdict for an owner of alt estate in a quest on relating to the rights and easement* belonging to it? is evidence of another claiming under him; and in this case there was proof that Mr. Blake- more was in possession of the works when the foruicr cause of action accrued, and that he and Booker were so at the time of the present cause of action, and tin* is abundant prima facia; evidence that the present plaintiffs were privy in estate to the former plaintiff- Does it then make any difference that one of the ],re' sent plaintiffs, was himself a witness in the former tri^' when he was disinterested? We are of opinion thflf it does not. The case being brought within the genefld rule, that a verdict upon a matter in issue, is evident for and against parties and privies, no exception can be allowed in a particular action on the ground that a elr!! cumstance occurs in it which forms one of the reaso" why verdicts between different parties^ are held to inadmissible, any more than the alJBence of all su £ circumstances in a particular case would be alloW1'^ to form an exception to the general rule that verdict between other parties cannot be received. It is mu wiser to abide by general rules; nor is there any autw rity to be found, which when properly understood, favor of such an exception. There are dicta of learned judges at the Nisi Prius, in cases in which they are properly rejecting Records which were h"1 .< missible on the principle of res inter alios nC^lr they assign one reason which exists in the pnrtictf* case, instead of relying 011 the general Tule. These I the dicta af Lord Ellenborough in the case of Smi^1 Rum mens, 1st Camp. p. 9, and Lord Chief Mansfield in Hathway r. Barrow, p. 151. There
