This day (June 7), :It two o'clock, his Excellency the Lieutenant-Geocral proceeded in S::tte to the Le gislative Council Charnbe,r where being seated on the Throne, the Honourable the Speaker of the house of Assembly being present, his Excellency opened the Session with the following speech " Hunourable Gentlemen f !he fividnda: and Gentlemen of the Manse lf,fisembly, " Many considerations having determined me to call you toge ther before the close of the year; I decided on the present sea con, as probably more convenient to you than a later period. Since you were last assenthled in this place, little alteration ap pears to have taken place in Cie state of his Msarcry's In that interval his august consort, the (VIM of the United Kingdom, has closed a long life, illustrious for the ex emplary discharge of every private and public duty. lfis Royal Highness the PRINCZ RFOENT, on beh ilf of his Masevrv, bas authorised the Governors of both ('anadas to bestow lands on certain of the Provincial Navy and Militia, which served during the late war. Recent purchases from the natives, have been so far effected, as will enable me to set apart adequate tracks in the several districts, to accommodate such of their respective inhabitants as are within the limits of the R o y a l iostruetio:!. 11 do not consider myself justified in extending this mark of appro bation to any of the individuals who composed the late Con vention of Delegates ; the proceedings of which were wapiti! the subject of your serious animadversions. " The Royal Assent has been given to the Bill for the esta blishment of a Provincial Bank, but from some delay, it MS' not arrive In time for promulgation, within the period limitAxl by law; the form of a re-enactment will therefore be necessary to render it available. " At the termination of the last Session, it was recommended you to bestow your attention on an amendment of the Road Laws. At present, from a nearer acquaintance with the state of the country, I am more deeply impressed with the import ance of that subject. " It is painful to observe, how serious an evil the neglected grants of an early date are pr.:senting to the actual inhabitant* of the Province. The exemption of any land belonging to in dividuals from the operation the Assessment Law, is found to be detrimental. A new Bill, so modified as to protect the land from sale by distress, until due notice can be given to the Proprietor*, will receive his Majesty's assent. " Gentlemen of the House of diss..mbly, " I shall direct the proper Officer to lay before you the Public Accounts of Receipts and Expenditures, with Estimates for the service of the ensuing year. " Honourable Gentternen owl Gentlemen, " The growth of the Province in population and wealth jus tifies a reasonable expectation that the measure% adopted to en• courage it will receive your fullest support ; and I must suggest for your consideration, the expediency of offer-in the new Set tlers unavoidably situated more remote from the great lakes ar.tl rivers, an easy approach to market. Your attention will doubt less be given to such laws about to expire, as may require to be continued. " Some parts of the Province, not accessible by land, it is my purpose to visit, during the present season for navigation, Oat I may become personally acquainted with every part of the population committed to my care." LAIV INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, JULY 30. RO.WE V. WOOD. The Court was occupied to-day-till half-past two o'clock in hearing Counsel on a motion in this cause. The subject of dispute between the panics is the lease ofa mine in Cornwall ; and the object of the present motion was to discharge an attachment which the plaintiff had issued against Alderman Wood, the de fendant. The circumstances of the case, as detailed by the Learned Counsel, are briefly as follows : The plaintiff filed his bill several years ago, and an action at law being soon after • brought againsthim, in which the defendant had a common interest with the plaintiff, it was agreed that the former should not file his answers in Court, but should lodge them in the Master's Office. The object of the parties in this proceeding was to prevent their common opponent from having access to Mr. Wood's answers, which contained some statements that might have been prejudicial to the right of Mr. Rowe. In the year 1818 an agreement was drawn up between the plain , tiff and defendant, in which they bound themselves to drop all proceedings both at law and equity; and ;t was not till the 9th of the present month that the defendant received notice to put in his answers im mediately. Relying, howeyer, on what he conceived to be a valid agreement, ho did not comply ; and on the 14th instant the plaintiff issued an attachment against him, which was executed last night. Mr. HEALD and Mr. SIDEBOTTW:, for the Dden dant, contended that the attachment should be taken off, on the ground that it was unjust and irregular : unjust, because in violation of a contract ; and irre gular, because the time between the notice and the issuing of the attachment had been unconscionably short. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, for the Plaintiff, argued at great length against the motion, and was followed by Messrs. MONTAGUE and SIIADWV.L. The LORD CHANCELLOR remarked on the case in general, that it involved several very important points, and perhaps the circumstance that he considered them important might induce the parties to pause before they referred them to his decision. The only questions, however, for the consideration of the Court at present, were,-whether or not this attachment was unjust ? and, supposing it not to be unjust, whether it had been regularly or irregularly executed? On these two points he should give judgment to-mor row morning, after having carefully looked over the papers. v.! . VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. THE DUKE OF SOMERSET V. SIB. THOMAS TUETON. The Plaintiff's bill in this cause prayed that an agreement into which the Defendant had entered, for the purchase of an estate, might be carried into effect, and that it might be referred to the Master'to deter mine what compensation was due from the defendant to the plaintiff, for the non-fulfilment of such agree ment. The bill stated, that in the year 1814 an estate belonging to the plaintiff was sold by auction, and bought by the defendant for 0550. One of the articles of sale was, that the buyer should deposit ten per cent. of the purchase-money in the hands of Messrs. Bease, Alexander, and Holme, solicitors, and pay the remainder before a ce:tain period. Accord ingly the defendant deposited £855, and bound him self to pay the remaining 4.7695 within the time pre scribed. The bill recited various other stipulations respecting the timber, sic. A doubt having arisen in Sir Thomas Turton's mind as to the validity of the Duke of Somerset's title to the estate, he refused to fulfil the agreement till that doubt was removed,- 1 It was at last determined that this point should be referred to the arbitration of Mr. Benyon, who was to be assisted by Mi. Shadwell and Mr. Roupell ; the former counsel for the plaintiff, and the latter for the defendant. The parties bound themselves to abide by Mr. Benyoa's award, provided it were made within three months after this, agreement ; but before that period had elapsed, the plaintiff stated that he did not wish to act otherwise towards the defendant than as one gentleman would act towards anothea* and therefore proposed that it should be referred to Mr. Shadwell and Mr. Roupell, who were well ac-, quainted with all the facts, to determine what com pensation he was fairly entitled to for the non-fulfil ment of the defendant's agreement. This propos il was acceded to, and the Learned Gentlemen made their award, which was, that the defendant s!jould pay the auction duty, and that the plaintiff should return all the money deposited, except I.:150, and pay the defend ant five per cent. interest on the de posit from the time it was paid to the solicitors. In this award the plaintiff refused to acquiesce, because the arbitrators had evidently been ignorant of some of the facts of the case, they having directed him to pay interest on the defendant's deposit, on the suppo sition that the money had been paid to him or for his use, which was not the case. To obtain redress '6e had filed the peseta bill, to which the defendant demurred, alleging generally that the plaintiff was pot entitled to redress. Mr. Mettnlvit.t.E stated the case for the Plaintiff; and Alf. AGAR, for the Defendant, argued in support 'Of the demurrer. . The VICE-CHANCELLOR, in giving judgment, re isadied, that the sole question on which he had to (Seale ivas, whether or not the plaintiff was entitled ta relief from thi s awar d ? Th e l aw un d ou b te dl y 1 ve arbitrators the power of deciding even contrary ‘o law ; but when a decision rested on a fact which eoth parties supp ose d t h e ar bi tra t ors to be acquaint d With, yet of which they were really ignorant, and 4heir ignorance of w hi c h t h e ar bi trators t h emse l ves 'ivere of opinion rendered their decision unjust, it was impossible to suppose that a Court of Equity would not give relief in such a case. Consequently the de murrer, which denied all title to relief, must be over ruled.—lt was overruled accordingly. ASSIZP.S.-YORK, JULY 26. A RMYTACE V. BLACKBURN AND OTHERS. Mr. Serjeant Hoctocx opened this case. It was lan action to recover compensation in damages, for trespass committed by the defendants. The plaintiff had been a respectable alehouse-keeper in Iludders field ; he had occupied a house and lands under the late Sir John Ramsdell, and actually 'expended upon the premises which he had occupied upwards of £1,600. He had, altogether, been worth not less than £3,000; lie was now, however, ruined; and no compensation they could give would restore him to what he had been most unjustly deprived of. Every inhabitant of this county must have heard of the de fendant, Blackburn, an Attorney in Huddersfield ; for there was nothing troublesome or turbulent in which he had not been concerned. In this case he 'did not hesitate to say, that his conduct had been villaincius. The first thing he did was to get a com mission of bankruptcy issued against the 'plaintiff, under which he was petitioning creditor and Solicitor. Now, when he had sworn that he was a creditor to the amount of £lOO, he was, in fact, indebted to the plaintiff. I-k pretended that the debt had accrued in consequence of his having been suretyfor the plain tiff to Mr. Bentley, a Brewer, to the extent of £100; In fact, he had been joint surety to that. Amount, but beim' not. then in any shape paid any money. or converted his suretyship into debt. But even if he had paid £lOO to Mr. Bentley, he had been at that very time more than £lOO in debt to the plaintiff.— Other two of the defendants, Bottomley and White ley, pretended to act as Assignees under this com mission, and Harrop, the remaining defendant, had been the Auctioneer of the plaintiff's goods. Appli cation had been made to set aside the commission, but owing to a blunder it failed, for all the Affidavits had- been sworn before one Commissioner, who was the Attorney in the cause. In Autumn, 1815, the, plaintiff was forcibly turned out of his house, his fur niture was sold, the rents of his cottages were seized, and the crops of his lands were taken possession of, and sold. To this moment he was kept out of pos session of his premises by this atrocious trespass. — This action had, indeed, been originally brought in ISIS, but a sort of agreement was then entered into between the parties, by which Harrop was to sustain all the loss. Harrop naturally rejected such an ar- 1 rangement, and the case was thus brought tinder their view. lle would prove the extent of loss sustained ; and that it really was a trespass they could not doubt, since there was no petitioning creditor, no trading,', and no insolvency to constitute a legal commission. He here. again distinctly charged Blackburn with perjury, in swearing a debt of £lOO. Thomas Armytage, son of the plaintiff, a Butcher in liudder;tield. proved the turning out of his father and mother, and the selling of their furniture, which was worth £lOO. The money was paid to Bottom ley and Whiteley. The house had been built by his father four or five years before. His father had got a building lease from Sir John Rantsden. The house was in the market-place, and well oustomed. Ilis father made between 20s. and ffos. profit a-week.— ;The house was sold for 1250 guineas. His father Would now be in the workhouse but for him. Hannah Armytage, wife of John Arrrytage, plain tiffs eldest son, refused to sign as a creditor under the commission, and told Blackburn that he was in the plaintiff's debt. " l'oh, poh," he replied, " you must not say so; if you don't sign, it will be worse for you." • Mr. WILLIAMS, who was Counsel for Bottomley and Whiteley, had extracted from Thomas Armytage that lie had himself applied to get a commission issued against his father, and then addressed the Jury with great energy for Bottomley and Whiteley, snaintain ing that they were real regular Assignees, and con sequently not responsible. The wicked contriver of all these dreadful machinations might have been Blackburn, who had disappeared, and along with whom had disappeared this commission. He hoped he was not now hearing all that was said of him. Mr. SCARLETT was Counsel for Harrop, but de clined to enter into any defence. Much controversy apd argument arose respecting the non-production of the commission, but the Judge was of opinion that since they did not produce it, any evidence respecting the petitioning creditor's debt, or the plaintiff's circumstances at the time it was issued, could be of no avail. Benjamin Stead, was, however, called, and stated, that he had seen the plaintiff at a meeting of the Commissioncts, and heard him urging ilottomley and Whiteley to become Assignees : had the corn mission, and gave it to Blackburn's clerk. DLL k. burn was not now to be found : he had the Accouutt: the Assignees •had received £193: they paid it all out; EB6 to Blackburn; £37 to the messenger; and other similar itcms. Cros.oexamined by Mr. Seijeant had made an affirmation in the Court of Chancery, and he was now on his oath. Du y6u affirm in equity, a: d swear in law?-1 was then a Q - Jaker, but I have since married. What! you arc married otit?-4 stnt in my re signation. Of your conscience ?—I have as muchof that as you. He was then asked as to a tatement in his affirma tion, but he did not recollect it. Being pressed—be should not wonder if he had so affirmed. Mr. Serjeant HULLOCK.—Nor shall -any here won der at any thing you affirm or swear. John Scholes gave simills evidence. The Learned Serjeant ti en addressed the Jury in reply. Blackburn's disapt carance was foreign to the issue. It had only been proved that the Commission had got into his Clerk's hands; but if it had been proved to have got into his nwa, that was nothing ; for another Commission migh► have been got : but neither the petitioning creditor's dubt, the act of bankruptcy, nor any other point had been proved. The Jury would therelOre give such damages as they thought the plaintiff had sustained.—Damagekl:3oo. CHELMSFORD, JULY co. slit rif v. ELSE& This was an action of trespass against the defen dant for pulling down a shed belonging to the plain tiff-, situate in F.ppini , . It appeared in evidence, that the plaintiff, from being an humble jonnieynian carpenter, had, by his indus try and good conduct, become a master carpenter in a small way. • He had obtained permission from the Lord of the Manor to erect a shed and sink a saw pit on part of the waste of Hainault-forest, of about ten or eleven rods in length, in consideration of his surrendering to the Lord a small piece of land in his • possession. The defendant, who is a man olconsits derahle fortune and substance in the same neighbour hood, being ifi..satistied with this supposed encroach ment upon the waste, in the year 1816 attempted to removed the plaintiff's shed, hut then failing in his - purpose, he renewed his proceedings in the year 1817, and with the assistance of a horse and cart, aided by other persons who complained of the al leged encroachment, pulled down the piles which supported the Shed, which was itself demolished in the end. For this injury the present action was brought. It was contended in defence, that the plaintiff had no right to enter into any bargain with the Lord of the Manor. to the injury of other claimants of the waste, and that consequently the supposed trespass was justifiable, in order to remove the encroachment. Mr. Baron GARROW, in his charge to the Jury, re marked, that if the defendant had been disposed to dispute the supposed encroachment in a Court of Law, he ought to have done so with a rich man, and not fight the question in a snwpit, with a man in an inferior station. It appeared to him that the defen dant's conduct was completely unjustifiable, and consequently that the plaintiff was entitled to liberal damages.—The Jury found for the plaintiff-. Da mages £150; tAmit v. SMIE. This was an action' brought by the same plaintiff against the same defeadant, for assaulting and falsely. imprisoning him for the space of three hours, on a malicious and uniOnnded charge of felony. It appeared that, pending the last-mentioned ac tion, which was a remanet from the last assizes, some of the fences and gates of Hainault-forest being out of repair, the plaintiff was employed by the deputy steward of the forest to do the necessary repairs, and for this purpose he was authorised to cut down sor9e timber in the forest, which he did accordingly in the month of October last, in the most public manner, drawing the timber to his premises for the purpose of preparing it for the object in question. The defen dant, not knowing the authority which the plaintiff had received, discovered the timber on the premises of the latter, and supposing it was stolen, went be fore a Magistrate named Layton, and laid an infor mation against the plaintiff for felony, and under the defendant's representation of the case the Magis trate was induced to issue his warrant, fur the ap prehension of the plaintiff. The defendant directed the officer who was entrusted with the execution of the warrant, not to apprehend him until six o'clock on the following morning, when he himself could be present to see the plaintiff taken into custody. The plaintiff under these circumstances, was apprehended in the morning about six o'clock, the defendant being present, and taken before the Magistrate, who hear ing the plaintiff's statement of his case, dismissed the complaint as being perfectly groundless. The de fendant insisted that the Magistrate should detain the plaintiff in custody until the case was represented to the Commissioners of Woods and Forests ; but the Magistrate :ejected tbe application. Under these cir cumstances the present action was brought. Witnesses were called to shew that the defendant had a reasonable and probable cause for the act cortt- plained of. It appeared, however, that almost all the witnesses were friends of the defendant, and had assisted him in pulling dov:n the plaintiff's shed, which constituted the subject of the last action. Mr. GURN-EY replied on behalf of the plaintiff with his usual ability. The Jury, :tiler hearing a very eloquent charge from the Learned Judge, found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 5(X)!. There was no else worthy of notice in the Crown Court the business of which finished this day.
