which was contrary to law. The coroners of this county are chosen by the bishops of the diocese, and not appointed, like the coroners of other counties, by the freeholders. There are four coroners, each of whom has his particular district, but possesses no authority out of that district; it was, however, a common practice for one coroner to desire another in a different ward to do his duty. This, his lordship observed, he was willing to attribute to ignorance on the part of the coroners, whose duty could not be performed by deputy; but he stated for their information, as well as for the information of the magistrates and the officers under them, that it was their duty, when any accident occurred, to give notice to the coroner, who must attend and suminon a jury of twelve men, to consider how the king had lost a subject. He gave them this notice, that each might do his duty; and unless that was attended to, some steps would be taken to enforce the law.

A mineral water has lately been discovered in the vicinity of Gloucester, in one of the Rignor Stile grounds, belonging to Sir James Jelf. Its properties, as far as they have been ascertained by chemical tests, and its action on the human body, resemble many springs which are common in this vale, and which have conferred such celebrity upon Cheltenham. The number of persons who have lately resorted to the spring has been such, that, from an insufficient ply, (as the water rises only through mall aperture made by a boring-machin) any have been disappointed. Proper wells, however, are to be immediately sunk, and suitable accommodations provided for all classes of invalids. The spa is completely detached from the city, and surrounded by an extensive tract of ground susceptible of the greatest embellishment, and admirably adapted for building. This, discovery, together with the improvements which have recently taken place in the different entrances to the city, the great increase in the value of property, the three public works now carrying on, (the Bridge, the County-hall, and the Lunatic Asylum,) and the probable completion of the Gloucester and Berkeley Canal, renders it extremely probable that Gloucester may, at no very distant period, arrive at that degree of importance which all who have duly estimated the advantages of its situation have never ceased to believe it would attain. Notice has been given that application is intended to be made to Parliament, in the next session, for leave to bring in bills for improving the navigation of the river or har bour called Berkeley Pill, and of the port of Berkeley; and also for making and maintaining a railway or tram-road, with all proper works and conveniences, from the said river or harbour to Wotton-under-edge, and another railway from the said river or harbour to the towns of Dursley and Uley; likewise for erecting a church or chapel in that part of the parish of Stapleton, or of Mangots field, which lies near Kingswood; and for inclosing the commons and wastes in the parishes of Miserden, Bishop's Cleeve, and Elmstone Hardwicke, and Malvern Chase, lying partly in this county, partly in Worcester and Hereford.

HAMPSHIRE, The Christchurch Agricultural Society have recommended most strenuously the general adoption of the Hainault scythe. It appeared at the recent contest for the premiums of the society, that a young man, who learned last harvest only, with this scythe completed half a statute acre, in the best manner, in five hours and twelve minutes; while three men, with reap-hooks, (two allowed to be the best hands in the county,) although they performed their work in a very masterly style, yet neither of them nearly completed their half-acre within the time. The superior advantages of the Hainault scythe over the reap-hook, consist,--first, in dispatch nearly one half; secondly, in a saving of straw and corn; and thirdly, in the sheaves being tied with a single hand, and hooded in hyle or shock, and thereby less liable to injury from the weather. A subscription has been commenced at Winchester, the benevolent and useful object of which will no doubt experience general support. It is for the purpose of founding an institution for the reception of young females, between the ages of thirteen and seventeen, to be maintained by their own industry, and fitted for the various depart ments of service in families. From the care and attention which will be paid to the religious and moral habits of these young women, it is hoped the most beneficial effects on the rising generation will be produced, as they will be received into this asylum on their leaving the National Schools, and the good principles there sown in their young minds, will be here fostered and preserved; so that on entering the world they will be better prepared to meet the dangers and snares too often spread for innocence. When 278 Hereford-Hertford. it is considered that the greater number of objects admitted and reformed at the Magdalen in London, are between the ages of fourteen und nineteen, and that, consequently, if females can be protected during that dangerous period, a reasonable hope may be entertained of their passing the rest of their lives well, the importance of such an institution must be evident Notice has been given of intended applications to Parliament, for leave to bring in bills for paving, cleansing, and improving, the towns of Andover and Basingstoke, and for inclosing the commons and waste grounds in the tithing of Hawley, and in the parishes of Stratford Mortimer and Steep.

[Oct. 1, great importance to the clergy came on, wherein the executors of the late Rev. Dr. Ford, principal of Magdalen-hall, Oxford, were plaintiffs, and Miss Racster, of Cripplegate, near Worcester, defendant. The defendant, being proprietor of a wood containing 179 acres, at Cradley, where Dr. Ford was rector, in 1813, gave him notice of set. ting out the titles of underwood, which she was felling, and which were duly collected. In May, 1813, defendant gave the rector notice that she was about to cut down a quantity of black poles, that grew in part of the wood from which the tithes of the underwood had been collected, but that they were not titheable, being upwards of 45 years growth. The defendant cut down these poles, and took them away, leaving no tithes. The rector dying soon after, his executors brought this action. The plaintiffs produced a great number of witnesses, who proved that the wood in question had been regularly fallen every 14 or 15 years; that the black At Winchester, the lady of the Rev.

The defendant's counsel argued, that all trees above the growth of 20 years were free from tithes Mr. Daunecy, in reply, contended, from a recent case in the Court of King's Bench, that tithes could be taken on coppice-wood above the growth of 20 years. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiffs, with liberty for the defendant, it she thought fit, to apply next term for the opinion of the the court, on the question of law, whether trees of this nature, and the growth of 20 years and upwards, are discharged of tithes by the stature of Sylva Cadua ?"
