PImM,'" 1 " 0 " LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHaleantlf,•Fineva.ar 4, WINTER AND LORD ANSON. This case, which had partly been heard, stcod in the pa p er t o be prooeeded with this morning; but in Con sequence of an arrangement between the parties, it was ordered to be further postponed until this day se'nnight. IM RE WALKIR. A LUNATIC. This was a petition which had been put, by order. into the paper of this morning. It was presented by the brother of a lunatic, who was ontitlel to a sum not mueb 1 exceeding 8,0001.' invested in the public funds; and prayed that the petitioner might be, appointed com mittee without a reference to'the Master, in considera tion of the smallness of the property, which could not bear the expense of such reference. The application was supported by affidavit; The Loan CHANCRLLOR said be could not. on such grounds, permit the violation of a rule which bad been laid down for the protection of the property of lunatics. It would be the first time it had been done, and he was not willing to establish a precedent which, although harmless in this case, might, if applied to others, be of I ' a very different effect. IN RE Rues, A LUNATIC. Mr. &mom stated- this to be a petition by the vim mime regularly appointed - of a lunatic, praying a re ference to the Master to inquire into the expediency of selling a part of the lunatic's estate, and the means by which the title to the part so to be sold should be com pleted, whether by a special act of Parliament or other 'rise. The lunatic's property consisted of some old di lapidated houses, which were in so bad acondition, that the tenants had quitted several of them. It would take a liar sues of money to put them into tenautable repair, and the lunatic's income was so limited that such a sum could not be spared. A proposition had been made to purchase by parties who wanted the site oldie old houses tor the purpose of building on it a churCh. They offered 3,8001. fur a part of the-estate, in which the lunatic was entitled to 5.6 th parts. Besides the immediate advan tage which . would result from accepting this offer, the other part of the estate would be increased in value.— The application was one which basl been frequently made in other instances. The LORD CHANCELLOR inquired if it was opposed, and being told it was not, he directed the reference. • MOULT AND JACKSON. Counsel were heard in the appeal until the rising of the Court. COURT. OF KING'S BENCH. Wesmnisrsa, Fm. • THE KING V. ROBERT TAYLOR. The defendant was in attendance this morning to re ceive the judgment of - the Court upon the conviction lately obtained against him for blasphemy. As, however, Mr. Justice Bayley was engaged in the bail Court the greater part of the morning, and Lord Tenterden ha 4 to hold the sittings at Nisi Fritts it one o'clock, the case was postponed. THE KING V. JAMES 11ROwNE, ESQ. W.P. This was a rule calling upon the defendant to shew • cause why a crimal information should not be filed against him for a libel reflecting on the conduct of Sir William Brahmin, late High Sheriff of the County of Mayo, in Ireland. The alleged libel, which purported to be a speech of the defendant delivered in the House of Commons, was published in a Morning Paper in June)ast. It charged Sir William Brabazon, in his character of High Sheriff, with being accessory to a conspiracy to murder the defendant and his friends on their return from Castlebar, where the election for the County of Mayo. at which the defendant was a candi date with Lord Bingham, was held in June, 1826. Sir James Scariest and Mr. Alderson were beard on a for mer day, in opposition to the rule (vide the STAR of the .26th ult.), and now Mr. Baovoasu appeared to support it. He agreed with his Learned Piked, Sir James Scarlet, that the matter charged as libellous ought to be taken in the plain and ordinary sense which its language imported, and he submitted that its plain intendment was to im pute to Sir W. Brabazon the offence of being - concerned in a conspiracy - toeturder. This was the -plain and obvious meaning f the language which had been ap plied to Sir W. Brabazon. in his character of High Sheriff, an office of great responsibility and importance as regarded the preservation of the King's peace. Being the returning officer at the election, he was charged by this libel as one of a gang of conspirators. who had conceived a scheme of murder, which had been long organized. and-was to be put in execution on the day of the election, for the purpose of giving it the colour of a mob tumult. He was charged also with having refused a sufficient force of police, after he had beep apprized that a serious riot was about to take place...- It was said that instead of taking the proper precau. tions to preserve the peace, he had ape essly told the police officers not to interfere ; and the libel went on to state, that the only inference to be drawn horn dew proceedings, if they were allowed to past unpunished. would be tbut the sheriff and several villainous wretches could enter into a conspiracy to ren der the civil i ffice unavailitig, and that he could do that with impunity in vie toe of his office. for which any other man in the empire would be banged—namely, that he could permit or procure murder to be committed with out fear of the consequences. Here was a distinct charge of conspiracy to comna murder in the most aggravated form, and this was made in the form of • a speech purporting have been delivered by the de fendant i 0 his place in Parliament. The defendant, however, did rot swear that he ever made this speech in P.oliatnent ; be merely stated that be made a speech, which be sent to a Morning Paper. But adMitting that this Übell us speech was the speech delivered by the de fendant in the House of Commons, he (Mr. B.) need not remind.the Court, alter the decisions in the cases of the " King v. Avendon," and the " King v. Trevitt," that it would not be protected, and that the defendant. 'as a Member of Parliament, was not privileged to make these libellous statements. The defendant, in the, a ffi davia he had filed in opposition to the rule , omitted to eve count for the long interval which had elapsed between the time of the election and the Makirg ef his speech w tie subject of it in the House-of Commons. The elec4l tion took place in June, 1826. and the speech putpprtcd to hare been made in June, 1827; and yet the defendenti bid not attempted to explain why he did not bring col Lis motionin the early part of the Session. This wash cis cumbtance which the Court would bear in mind. .les , the affidavits filed on the other side, it had been,ai , tempted to thew that Sir W. Brabazon had received information of sr-me tumult, being about to take place. 41.derittiUg that to be the case, it was nothing like the eharge-inade in the defendant's speech, which was, " that** Shelifff had received direct and repeated in• format** from the chief constable of police, that, a ,schemo of murder had been long organised, and waa to be put in execution on the day of the elec . . tion, in order to give it the colour of a mob tumult." ~1c was Sworn that he bad been informed * that the *Pattern paity would "lick the Browns Were they 'lett the too a ;' but that was nothing like an intimation that a scheme of murder had been organized, and was 1 to be pat into effect on the day of election. He (Mr. Brougham) believed there was no election, either in England or Ireland, at which scenes of riot and disorder did not rake place ; and it did not appear from any of the affidavits which had betn filed in this case, that any thing more than the ordinary tumult and confusion of an election had taken place at Castlebar. Lord TENTHRDRN observed, that in the affidavits filed on the part of the defendant, there was a good deal more stated with regard to the peculiar station of the police on the day in question, than had been explained or adverted to on the pan of Sir W. Brabazon. There had certainly been a great neglect of duty, to use the very mildest phrase; at the same time the Court could not help feeling that the statement in the libel went much beyond the facts; but a person applying for the interposition of the Court by criminal infeermation for a libel, should purge himself entirely Cons blame, which the party had not done in this case. His Lordship added, " My brother Holtoyd and I think, that under sal the circumstances the rule should be discharged, upon the defendant's paying the costs." Mr. BROUGHAM said he should most willingly adopt any suggestion of his Lordship, though he was desirous of going into the affidavits in order to show that Sir W. Brabazokhad adopted the best means in his power for the press Lion of the peace under the very peculiar' circumstances in which he was placed. Lcird TENTIRDIN laid the affidavits might be gone into, if Mr. Brougham chose. Ilaouonetsr, said be would consult with his ,Learised Friends, Mr., Erskine and Mr. Park. The Court was aware dug thii was a very grave charge against Sir W. Drab:mos, - - - Lord Tawrastriax..-.llt is so; and we think the libel goes considerably beyond. what the facts justify; but still there are circumstances which me unexplained in the affidavits ea the other side. We wish to speak mildly of both parties. : Mr. BROUGHAM said he had no doubt the suggestion of his Lordship would meet with the approbation of Sir William Brabazoa. QUO WARR/MO.—THE CORPORATION OR WELLS. Str JAMES SCA RI'S I T moved for a rule to shew cause why a writ of gm* warrant° should not ism, calling upon Robert Brookes to shew cause . by what right be claimed to act as one 'of the Masters of the city and bmough of Wetis. The corporation of Wells consisted_ of twenty four c-piial burgesses, eight of whom were called masters; and it was contended nn the part of those at whose instance she present application was made, that the election of Mr. Brookes, as one of the master's, was bad. there not having been a sufficient number of capital burgesses to constitute a court at the time the election wok place. which was about six years I ago. Mr. Brookes, though he had never been snout in, had continued to act as one of the masters of the cor poration, and the object of the present psoceeding was to ascertain whether or not he herd the office legally.— Rule granted. . SIAKDAMEIS. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL applied for a rule to show cause why a writ of mandamus should !rat issue, disectng certain Magistrates of thr county of Bucks to issue a warrant for the purpose of levying a chord) rate under the Act of Parliament. The object of the application was to procure the opinion of the Court upon a point which the Magistrates felt themselves incompetent to decide—viz. whether the. occupiers of all houses which were built subsequent to the 'making of the rate were liable to the payMent of it ? Lord TaNTERDEN said the Colin could not grant the application. A similar application, made on the part of the Aldermen of London. had been lately refined, on the ground that if the Magistrates acted upon a inert • datums for such a purpose. they might reader themselves liable to an action of trespass.—Rule refused. The Court rose at one o'clock, after which Lord Ttx- Timms sat at Nisi Priors. DEPCHY 9. MUNN AND ANOTHER. This was an action for money bad and received. The defendants, who are auctioneer Irt had been employed by the plaintiff, in January, 1825. to sell by auction itme reversionary property. They had received the deposit mosey. and wanted it in their hands from that time to the presents and this action was brought to recover the amount with interest, which the plaintiff claimed from 'January. 1825"—Some admissions woe read, and Wit. • nesses examined; after which, Sir Jkstas ScAtturri, who appeared for the defend. rants, said, he would leave it to the Court to decide the question of interest (which was the only one is the cause), and then consent to a .verdict. Lord TENTERDEN said. it was quite clear that the plaintiff could not recovny - interest in an action for money had and received._ k might appear hard that an auctioneer should retain money in tis hands for three or four years, without being liable to pay interest, but it should•be recollected, that a party always had it in his poier to bring bit action immediately.--A verdict was then taken for the plaintiff. NALL 9. LADY °RESULT. Mr. Baotroiram stated, that this was an action by the plaintiff, a teacher cf kiieguages, against the defendant, a Lady of fortune residing in Hanover-square, to recover the amount niche plaintiff's charge for attendance on the defendant. and giving her I,lsoos in Latin for a period of Upwards of.sis months. The plaintiff had attended her Ladyship twice a week, and his charge was at the rate of five guineas a month. Mr. John Howitt, a bookseller, in Upper Berkeley . street, stated, that in November, INS, Lady Gresley , -was in his shop. and seeing a prospectus of the plaintiff's, her Ladyship desired witness to send the plaintiff to her , houke the following morning; that lie did so, and that her Ladyship afterwards purchased of witness, an Eton • Grammar, Daoidsox's Virgil, a Latin Dictionary, Ciarkes izercises, 3tc. Richard Pilelist, the defendant's late butler, stated that he recollected the plaintiff coming to her Lady'- I ship's house eight or ten times between Apo il, 1823, and Apia, 1824, but be did not know for what purpose be cause. Thomas Price, another butler, stated that the plain= s tiff waited on her Ladyship twice and sometimes three times a week, for several months subsequent to April, 1824. Two letters. from Lady Gresley to the plaintiff were put in and :sad, to prove the plaintiff's employment, ant a witness was called to speak to the reasonableness .ot the charge of five guineas a month for attendance three times a oriels. Sir J. Seaman.. in addressing the Jury for the de featism, ridiculed the claim, and said it was quite abstud to ssippo.e that a Lady advanced in life as the defendant iris Amid have engaged th e p l a i nt iff to give her lemmas in Latin. Her Ladyship had declared most solemnly that she never employed the plaintiff, and • i h at w h en t h e demand was• firsts made' upon her, she', thought it was that of some apothecary, for she new nothing of the plaiatiff as a teacher . e im egtog i s . • Lord TIINTSKIMI summed up the evidence; and the Jury founds verdia for the Plaintiff—;.Damitges, 204, 'ASWAN V. THE RSV. Tusovirnit *mums. 'nit was an action by the plaintiff ' a dealer in mls- . sals and curiosities, to recover the amount of bis bill on the defendant for a missal and other *slicks parehased by him in 1825. *, • Sit JAM'S SCARLET? stated the plaintiff% case. It appeared that the Rev. defendant, who has been long celebrated as a collector of splendid books and mis sals, purchased the articles in question on the terms of paying for them at the end of two years. with interest on the amount at five per cent. A sale by auction of his magnificent.collection took place in the spring of last year, when the missal in question was put up, but it was not sold, there being no teal bidder for it, to the extent of the sum at which it was fixed to be disposed of. The sum now. claimed .by the plaintiff was 8944 which included interest at 5 per cent. from September, 1825. The plaintiff's shopman prover'. the purchase by the defendant, in September, 1824, et the missal, and a cup and saucer. Foil the former he agteed to give 3501. and for the latter 21. 10s. Mr. 11. 11. Evans, of Pall.mall, stated that the defes. dam called on him in November last, and told him that he should send him the missal for sale. It had been put up to auction at Messrs. Stewart and Co.'s in May last.' Witness saw it at Messrs. Stewart and Co.'s rooms. He i iiad occasion to compare it with one which he had for sale belonging to the late Mr. ll.tnt. Mr. Stewart, of Piccadilly, stated, that he sold the, defendant's collection of books and missals, in April, and May last. The defendant assisted a little is the preparation of the catalogue. He (defendant) saw the descriptiqa in the catilogue of the missal iu question: It was bought in at 3041., . Cross-examined by Mr. Guaway—The defendant told me he had made au arrangement respecting the. missal, with the erson of whom he bought it. 14 —e fixed its price at 3501. and stated, that if the biddings did not teach that sum, it aasto be bought in. There was no real bidding above 2981. The plaintiff attended the sale. Mr. GURNEY act3ressed the Jury for the defendant. He had no instructions to deny the value of the missal, or that the defendant had purchased it, . and . was. liable to pay to a certain extent.. When the plain tiff discovered that the missal was advettised for sale, he applied to the defendant to return it to him, or to pay him the charge for it. This. however,.Was Ob jected to, the defendant stating that he ivat hot in a situation to do so; as, according to an artingementhe had made with his creditors, he was bound to put up all his books and mis , als to auction. He, however, agreed that tl e plaintiff should have the entire sum it fete! ed, if k sold for mile than 3501. and if it-was bought in under that sum, it was to be returned to the plaintiff, and the difference in _price made up. The plaintiff assented to this arrangement, but after the sale he ob jected to take his missal back. Mr. Wheatley, of the firm of Stewart, Wheatley, and Allard, was called to prove theagreement'between the, parties, but his evidence did not support the statement of Mr. Gurney, and The Jury, under the direction of Lord 'Tenterden, returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 3941.
