Mr. Sebastian’s equestrian feats are decidedly superior to any be fore witnessed in this Island, and, agree able to a gentleman lately from Paris whose opinion we heard expressed, su perior to any which he there witnessed. Master Romeo is a perfect prodigy. In fact we cannot say that we have witness ed a single feat there performed that is open to adverse criticism. As the last performance will positively take place on Saturday Evening, we re commend every one who has not witness ed these performances to avail himself of this last opportunity of witnessing tha best feats ever performed in the ring in this Ishand.

M., LUCCHETTI, as Attorney for Merchan V. PICCIONI, Versus The Commerciai Firm of J. B. ANBUZE und FILS. Summons dated 9th February IS6I. The plaintiftt appeals from a sentence given by the West Indian Upper Court on the 9th January 1861 in a case concerning the supposed invalidity of the sale of a property. Then as by said sentence it is deerced “that the appealed Under Court’s Sen- tence is to stand good, each to bear their i own expenses at the Upper Court; the amounts for which sentence has been giv en to be paid within four weeks after the legal notification of the sentence accord ing to law;” And as the plaintifi”’s demand of” hav ing the case thrown out was refused by decision of the ordinary Town Court of Saint Thomas of 28th March 1859, and as by sentence pronounced in the same suit on the 23rd April 1860, it is decreed “that the defendant, Mr. Matthieu Luc chetti must as attorney for merchant Vin cent Piccioni within fifteen days after the legal notification of this sentence pay to the plaintifis, the Commercial firm J. B. Anduze and Fils of this place, on their receipt, $2,000 with 6 per cent interest from 10th January 1859 until payment be effected, together with indemnifying ex penses of the present suit including Layw yer's fees, sixty four dollars—To be coni plied with according to law And as finally by sentence of the Saint Thomas Town Court of 6th Augnst 1860 it is decreed “that the defendant, M. Matthieu Lucchetti, as attorney for Mr. Vincent Piccioni, shall, within fifteen days after the lezal notification of,this sentence, pay to the plaintiffs, Messieurs J. B. Anduze and Fils of this place on their receipt, $2,000 with 6 per cent in terest from 7th of May this year until paid, together with indemnifying expens- ST CGROLE AV] S es of this suit including Lawyer’s fees, thirty-two dollars—To be complied with according to law It is therefore now demanded that the sentence of the Upper Court be reversed, set aside and altered. Whereupon the following Sentence was pronounced by the High Court on Priday the 17th February, 1865 In as much as plaintiff has demanded the case !o be thrown out from the Un der Court, beeause, according to his opin ion, it ought to have been iastituted by Jorum red site, it must Le approved that this demand has been refused by the sen tence, in consideration of the Feasons ex pressed in the seatence appealed. Coming te the reality which thus re maing to be judzed upon, the result of the suit will depend upon how {ar the plaintif, on wiomn in this respect lies the burden of proof, has made good the cor fectness of his assertion as far as it tends to state that on establishing the transter docoments mentioned in the sentence and dated 12th and 13th April 1855 regard ing the iistate “Compaia,”’ there existed a verbal acreement between him and Merchant Paul Auvnduze of the cited firm, according to which these documents should not establish a real and final sale of this estate, which, according to their contents, was to be suppozed to be their (;%,»";»*(‘z‘. Meanwhile it canuot be consider ed that the plaintifi has given a (all proof of that verbal sorcement veferred to by him, \‘.'E)'i'.'f‘, ACEOON i.'.j to 'i‘l e “'\-f'?-'*}‘.. has been entered upon withont the pre sence of witnesses and without his havinge Ykélil i1 €lB vB At laue 1R Wil 1) 3 but b all thiat hax been exposed by lin before the Hieh Ceourl and of waich the esseneiat pat 20l i e S “l‘ii,“l:"":.;l“ st to he ihlisiied a nigh degl Os presulls} oo bl Colr rectness ol !x--i:‘\‘;:’;w ntation of the stateof the case. In consequence hereof, and usthe nature ot the prot cedives of the defend anls does not give sufltctent cause for to deviate, as demanded by the plaintifl’ for in ¢ase he should not obtain a pure re lease, from the regulations 1, 14, 6 of the law, by allowing him to take the suppie tory oath, the issue in virtue of the arti cle of the law just cited wiil depend up on, if Merchant Paul Anduze dare to take the oath of denial with reference to the plaintifi’s above stated representation. 1f he takes that oath, then the sentence ap pealed is to be confirmed and in that case cach party is to pay their own expenses incurred before the ligh Court, but should he not dare to do lit, then the piuintifi" is to be released from the de mand of the defendants, who in that case shall pay the plaintiff 8300 for expenses in all Courts.—Thus is deereed as just. If Paul Anduze within four weeks after notification of this sentence of the High Court in accerdance with law, before his Sforum domicilii takes his oath that on the establishment of the documents of trans fer of 12th and 13th April 1858 referred to in the suit, there existed no verbal azreement between him and plaintiff’ ac cording to which these documents should not establish a real and final sale of the estate *Compaiia,” then shall the sentence of the Upper Court remain in force, and each party shall bear their own expenses before the High Court. But dares he not to take such an oath, then the plain tiff is to be released irom the defendant’s demand in this case, besides which in this instance the last mentioned shall pay the former 300 West Indian dollars for expenses of the law-suit in all the Courts. To the fund of Administration of jus tice each party pays three West Indian dollars.

Whereupon the following Sen tence was proncunced by the ifigh Court on Friday the 17th 'ebruavy, 1863 In as much as piaintil’ has demanded the case to be thirown out from the T'n der Court because, accordine to his apin ion, it m.l;:’n‘l to have beoen ?:“ti?z:';n{ forum reé sit@, it must be approved that this- demand has been refused by the sont ence in consideration of the reasons ex pressed in the sentence appealed. Coming to the reality which thus re mains so be judged upon, the result ol the suit will depend upon how far the plain tiff, on whom in this respeet lies the bhur. den of praef, hus made good the correct- NESss ()f' !\:.S :i_-:»:‘_'}‘ii\)n an }":t‘ as 1t tends O state that on establishine the transfer do cuments mentioned in the sentence and dated 12th and 13th April 1358 regavding the estate “Campaiin.” there existed a verbal arecument between him and Mop chant Paur, Axpuze of the cited firm, ac cording to which these documonts should not establish a real and final sale of this estate, whieh, according to their contents, was to be supposed to Dbe their oliject. Meanwhile it cannot be eonsidered that the I)};l‘.:Mii’f!l:z'< givena tull proofofthat verbal agreement referred to by him, which :c- Q()t’(lihj_‘; to his deelaration has boen enier ed upon without the presence of witpess es and without his havine taken care to have it made 1v writine, but by all that has been exposed by him before the Hich Court and ot which the essential part is mentioned in the sentence appealed, there 1s found to be established a high deereo of presumption for the correctness of his representation of the state of the ease. In consequence hercof, and as the nature of the proceedings of the defendants does not give sufficient cause for to deviate, us demanded by the plaintiff, for iu case he should not obtain a pure releass, from the regulations 1, 14, 6 of the law, by al lowing hlm to tuke the suppletory oath, the issue in virtue of the article of law just eited will depend upon, if Merchant Paur.

If he takes that oath, then the sentence appealed is to be confirmed, and in that case each party is to pay their own expenses iucur red before the Hich Court, but should he not dare to do it, then the plaintiff is to be released from the demand of the defendants, who in that case shall pav the plaintiff S3OO for expenses in all Courts —Thus is decreed as just.

BRISTOL. The exertions of the Local Manager, seconded oy the influence of a Committee of the highest mercantile position in that city, are rapidly ex vending the business throughout the entire of the West of England and South Wales. BIRMINGIAM. The like instrumentality in Birmingham is producing a very marked and satisfactory result. There are, in fact, few places here or abroad where the “RoyAaL’” is making more rapid strides than in the Midland Counties. LONDON. The Company’s Business for the last year in the Metropolis has likewise closed with very prosperious results. SCOTLAND Affords the most remarkable instance of tho favour with which this Company has been re ceived, and illustrates the fact that hitherto in the history of this Establishment impediments and obstructions, by generating energy to over come, only accelerate its consequent progress. Whilst the WesTErN Branch, in Scotland, more than maintaing the high position it had already reached, the EasTernN Brancu, at Edinburg, under its indefatigable Local Man ager, has made a progress in its I'ire Business which may; be deemed in that country to be almost unprecedented. Merchants and Manu facturers, and Insurers, indeed, of all classes, have been convinced that the RovarnlNsuranch CompaNny, while promoting its own advance ment, looks likewise to the accommodation and interests of its Insurers, and on that account it is gradually progressing to a position in Scot land possibly not far behind that of the best of its own native Istablishments. It is most gratifying to add that likewise in its Life Pre miums, the Company has had a large develop ment in a land distinguished by the magnitudo and excellence of its own great Institutions. IRELAND. The Directors have, in addition, much satis faction in announcing that they have succeeded in obtaining a Committee of Reference in Ire land, which, from the high character of its mem bers, including some of the names most known and honoured throughout the country, they con sider will be attended with the most satisfactory extension of their business in that kingdom.
