LAW REPORT. +_. COURT OF CHANCERY, NOVEMBER 25. FEM I..LE ADVOCATE. At the sittings of rho Court, a Lady handed up a let ter, or wt it ten paper, to the Lot d Chancellor, who read it over, and then asked her if she had prepared it herself? The Lady answered Yes." The Lotto CHANCELLOR said he was glad of it, be cause he knew that there were many persons sufficiently aware of the practice of the Court to he mischievous, who prepared papers which wete handed to the Court by suitots which could have no effect, or if any, only those of vexation and trouble. He was convinced, that, :,song the many honourable men practising at the bar,' tht. Lady would have nn difficulty in getting one of 111, , nr to take her papers and bring her case regularly before the Court, even If she were incapable of remu nerating them. mr. SVGDEN, in corroboration of his Lordship's assertion, cheer fully undertook to manage her affairs, as any of his Learned Friends about hint would gladly do, without any.desire fur remuneration. BLAKRMORE V. GLASIORCANSHIRE CANAL. Mr. HEALD tesumed his argument for committing the tnitnag . ers to the Fleet for contempt of Court and breach of an injunction issued against Ahem in August last, to prevent their widening and deepening the bed of the canal, to the detriment of the plaintiffs property. The answer was, that the defendants had only height- I cued the bank, and not deepened the water, and that the effect of their work was only to cleanse the basin. He examined the conflicting affidavits on this point, and contended that they had, in the most flagrant and contemptsous manna, violated the express order of the Court, which offence was Int titer aggravated by their previous failure in endeavouring to obtain the sanction of an Act of l'atliament. He noticed the mischievou , consequences of a provision in a recent general Act of Parliament, whi , :h enacted, that AS SOMI as the profits of a canal should exceed a dividend of 8i per cent. that the duties should be lowered. 'fire effect of this was, that no sooner did the profits reach a statutable rate, than the canal companies set themselves to woik to squander away money, so as to avoid a surplus, of which they wete not allowed to make any use, inflicting the most unwarrantable injuries on persons whose property lay in cr mexion with their own. 51.. IiALT and Mr. PltrYS, Mr. HORNIC and Mr. WAKEFIELD, and &Ir. SHADWKLL and Mr. Scourger, were heard so behalf of the several defendants.—Further hearing postponed. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, NOVEMBER 25. WILLIAM V. GOODCIIILD. This came, with which the Court was occupied yes-, terday and this day, remains still for further argument. It possesses little public interest, and turns upon the construction of certain grants enacted in the time of Henry the Eighth, of lands in the parish cf Hendon. The plaintiff, who claims to be entitled to the tithes of the parish of Ilendon, filed his bill in full payment from the defendant, who is a landholder in the same parish. The voluminous evidence was in part gone through to-dav, and the cause adjourned for a further argument on Saturday. coma OF EXCHEQUER, NOV. 25. THE KING V. MARSH, STRACEY, AND CO. Mr. JERVIS moved for a rule to shew cause why all matters of dif f erence connected with an extent in aid for 686/. which had issued against the defendants, should not be referred to the Remembrancer, to deter mine what sums were due from the bankrupts estate. The extent had issued on the 15th of Septembet,i to obtain the sum in .question, being the produce oi l t.ixes which had been lodged in the bankrupts hands. Arplication had been made to the solicitor under the coininission, and, in consequence of no information. being given, the prevent rule was mmed tor, which it was hoped their Lords'lips would not refuse, the object being to prevent any extraordiaat y expense to the bank /yrs estate. Mr. Justice GRAHAM—Tau may take a rule, but it must be to show cause. THE KING V. COOKE. Mr. TYNDALL moved for a rule to strew cause why a sum of 5001. levied on the defendant's goods, in conse quence of an outlawry which had issued against him on a wt it of s'endilioni expoimg, should not be placed out at interest for the benefit of a person named Itayer, the applicant in the cause. The defendant was an un - cei idicated bankrupt, and the applicant a cie.!itor untier the commission. It sas by means of the applicant that the wi iz of venditioni expvnas was obtained, but julst as it was about to be executed, it was found that a sink of fir? i ihtias had been dii ected to the Shet iff of the county of bcvon, and property was seized by him to the amoonc.of 5001. The outlawry took place in October, and, the writ oijierifacius had been sent down in No -Itemiser. The question therefore was, whether a credi tor claiming under proceedings on. the part of the Cr own, by which properly had been vested in the Crown, had not a prefeiabl. claim to persons founding their right on an interim audios ity tuhsequently obtained?—Rule grained. NEIL T. SM I TH. Mr. NowroN moved for a liule to spew cause why the defendant and his wife should not be obliged to come into the Charter-house, in the Manor of Kenning ton, that being the usual lilac:: for holding the Court Baron, and there surrender a c•vhold, of which he was then seised. Some dispute had arisen on a former occasion as to the amount of the customary rent due from the defendant to the Lot d of the Manor on the above copyhold, and therefore a reference had hoen' nu - le to the Master to MTH e into the circum stances of the case. He reported a sum of (263/. to be half the annual rent, and accordingly all order was made for the payment of that sum into the hands of the proper officer, being then due. This had not b e en done, and the estate being therefore forfeited, the ob ject of the present was to oblige the defend ant to appear at the Manor Court, and surrender the estate into the hands of the Lord's Steward.—The Rule granted. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, NOVEMBER 25. Mr. ScA itLErr slimed cause agair4 a rule calling on Mr. (item to shew came why :t writ of gnu warrant° should not issue, calling on Inns to slit's,• b y what aut!iority he claims to be a capital bow gess of the bu - rough of East Lon. That borough is goveined by the charter of Queen Elizabeth, and there are to be but nine capital burgesses. It was said at the time Mr. Green was elected, there were eleven capital buigesses. It was also said, that a statute of James the Second allowed twelve burgesses, bitt the parties who moved for the guo warrant° said, the charter of James was bad, and, that the bornuOr was to be tegulated by the chatter of Elizabeth, which had never been legally WI 'yodeled to the Crowr. Another objection arose upon the form of election. Nine persons were fir Mr. Green, and two against him. It was alleged that eight of the votes • were bad, because the parties were not resident in the borough. Mr. Scarlett was fUrnished with affidavits proving that the said voters had been capital burgesses six years before the election. The merits of this Corporation question having been argued at length by Mr. SCARLET/ and Mr. ADAM — The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said,. enough had been stated to satisfy the Court that it was a question which ought to come before them upon the record. The question, consequently, by consent of Counsel, is to come before the Judges in a shape more regular, with a view to discus sion of all the bearings. Mr. WILLIAMS moved for a criminal information against Mr. Perry, a Magistrate, and Lord of the Manor of West Ham, Essex, for alleged improper conduct in refusing a victualler's license to a person named Strat ton, who kept a public-house at West Ham. It did not appear that any otrrupt motive could be assigned to Mr. Perry ; on the contrary, the refusal to renew the license might have proceeded from an honest motive. aad the Court refused to grant the rule—Application refused. ALLEGED MISCONDUCT OF AN ATTORNEY. Mr. BOLLAND moved for a rule to shew cause why an attorney should not be struck off the Rolls for mis- conduct. It was alleged that he had conducted two prosecutions against Josiah Taylor, for keeping a gam bling-house, and had proposed to comprt,mise both for a sum of money—rising in his demands from 5001. to 5,000/.—(A laugh).—The Court granted a rule. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, NOVEMBER 25. The Loan CHIEW Jusrtmt went to the City this morning, but there being no causes entered. for trial, his Lordship proceeded to Westminster, where the Court was occupied till one o'clock, in hearing a long argument on the construction of a will, to which several codicils had been added, and the question was, whe ther the last codicil acted as a republication of the will ? CALTON V. PORTER. The plaintiff in this case had agreed for the putchase of an annuity of 1051. per annum, from the defendant, for the sum of 6301. and had paid the full purchase money to Messrs. Howard and Gibbs, who acted as agents fo- both parties in the transaction. Mr. Serjeant VAUGHAN had, on a former day, ob tained a rule on the part of the defendant, calling on the ,plaintiff to shew cause why the annuity deed should not be set aside, on the ground that the whole of the pur chase money bad not been paid to the defendant, who is the granter. It appeared, by the affidavits made in the cause, that the defendant, at the time the agreement for granting the annuity was made, was indebted to Messrs. Howard and Gibbs in the stun of 901. which sum, together with a charge of 501. for costs in nego ciating and completing the sale of the annuity, they de ducted out of the purchase money received by the plain tiff; and the conditional order was made by the Court, under the Act of the 59d Geo. l 11, which enacts, that if the whole sum agreed to be paid for the purchase of any annuity, shall not be paid to the granter of such an nuity, the contract for such annuity shall not be valid. Serjeant 'FADDY now chewed cause against the rule, and contended that the payment of the whole purchase by the plaintiff, to Messrs. Howard and Gibbs, who acted as his agent, was a payment to him within the _ . meaning of the statute. The Court said it had lately been decided, in the case of Gorton and Champneys, that the whole purchase money must come to the hands, or be placed fully within the disposal of the granter of an annuity, otherwise the grant would not be binding on him; and as it did , not appear in this case that the granter at any time had it in his power to dispose of the %thole of the purchase money, the order for setting 'aside the annuity must be made absolute; but the plaintiff would be entitled to recover that part of the purchase money which was actually paid to the defendant, with interest from the time of the payment. PREROGATIVE COURT, NOV. 25. CRESWELL V. CNESSWELL. Dr. LUSHINGTON, in this case, prayed that leters of administration to the deceased's property might issue to a new Trustee, in the room of a Mr. Pitt, who had given up the trust. Sir J. NICHOLL said, in order to save time, and as he had read the affidavits, he would state that he had looked into some authorities, particularly the case of Nash v. Nash. decided in 1792, where the administra• tion was not granted under similar circumstances. Dr. LUSHINGTON said, this case was a most extraor dinary one ; an issue had been directed from the Court of Chancery to try a cause; the will was admitted by the deceased's sons to be genuine, and they did not op pose the administration going to the party applying. Mr. Pitt had been appointed Trustee of the property by the Lord Chancellor, but had renounced his tiust, and consented, by his Counsel, to the Master's choosing another Trustee. Sir JOHN NICHOLL said, the moment the Court was satisfied of MI. Pitt's giving up his trust and consenting to this application, he would grant the administration to a new trustee.—The motion was ordered to stand over. An Inquest was held at the Union public-house, on Thursday se'nnight, on the body of Mary Malden. The deceased was a woman about seventy years of age, of very singular and retired habits. She had lodged with her son, at '29, Cavendish-place, Brighton, for about two years. In the winter she used to be wholly without firing, and her son used to take her victuals to the door of bet apartment, and place it on a stool near the door, from whence she took it into the room without speaking to any person in the house, and fastened the door after her. On Tuesday evening last the deceased and her son had some dispute, after which he plaCed her food as usual on the stool at the door, but on observing it had not been removed, he forced,thi door open, when he found the deceased extended on the bed quite dead. The July, after sitting upwards of five hours, brought in a verdict- 4 ' Died by the visitation of GOD." Wednesday morning, a. Meeting of the Common- Gaincilmen of the Ward of Farringdon-Without was held at the new Inquest-house, in St. Andrew's Church yai d, Holborn, for the purpose of instituting an inquiry al to the alleged want of a prompt and sufficient supply Of water at the late conflagrations that have occurred in that Wald, viz. in Fleet-street, and at Messrs. Wilkin son's, on Ludgate-hill. Notice of the intended meeting and its object had been given to the Directors of the different Fire Insurance Offices, and also to the New River Company, and several Gentlemen, together with some of the RI e.iien, and the parochial and city officers, were in attendance. • SPORTING IN SINERIA...—A Yakut, says Captain COCHRANE, Will, for a considet able wager, ride his horse from 200 to £5O versts, in 24 hours. I titbits:, in a late instance, 000 versts,qual to 170 miles, have been perlot in, d by oar horse within 24 bolas, not by any vio. lent exertion, but by regular trotting, which would astonish the sporters of Old England. Nor is a Yakut behind hand with suc lapurtxrs in betting. MR. FAUNTLEROY. . . .• At.ten o'clock on Wednesday night, Mr. Fauntleroy, exhausted by the horrors of the day, lay down.upon his bed, after-having fervently, and in a loud tone, prayed for mercy of Goo. He fell into a sound sleep, which kad but few interruptions during the night. He arose immediately upon hearing the preparations for, the exe• cution of Harwood. Perhaps there is nothing calcu lated to make so tremendous an impression upon cri minals, who are not altogether abandoned, than the preparations, or pompa mortis, of Newgate—the entrance of the Sheriffs to the cell of the culprit devoted to death—the pinioning of the arms of the poor wretch by the officers—the awful march of the executioner, and the others who assist in putting the extremity of the law into effect, along the narrow passage and wind ings of the jail—the solemn tones of the Ordinary, bid ding an everlasting farewell in the impressive language of Scripture--all combine to reader the scene the most terrific to those who have run a similar hazard, and who occasionally, as the procession advances, catch a glimpse of it through the bars of their prison-house. When Mr. Fauntleroy heard the death-bell toll, he fell upon his knee;, and prayed for his fellow-sufferer, who was about to leave the world. He appeared greatly shocked, but he became composed after the lapse of a few minutes, when he thought the pangs of Harwood were at an end. At ten o'clock he breakfasted, and seemed to be much refreshe3. by the sound sleep which he had enjoyed during the night. After bteakfast he called for a quantity of paper, and pens and ink, and sat down to write letters to his friends. He was occu pied the greater part of the day in bidding farewell, by, letter, to the greater number of his friends, and in writing directions to others about his children. He was visited frequently during the day by the Rev. Mr. Springett, Mr. Baker, and the Ordinary, and he ex hibited, in the presence of those Gentlemen, the strongest evidences of a mind made up for the last mortal con flict. He mentioned, two or three times in the course, of the day, that he would shut himself out from all society except that of the Ordinary, Mr. Springett, and Mr. Baker, after Saturday ; but he spoke of three or four awful interviews which he must, be says, undergo, and which he prays to be able to bear with firmness.— Many of his friends called yesterday at the prison, but he has taken the advice of the Ordinary, who has often witnessed the afflicting consequences of " meetings be fore death" to these who survive, as well as to those who are cut off, and he sent them his blessing, and .bid them farewell by the messenger. He dined at three o'clock, and was rather more cheerful in the evening, than be appeared since the last communication was made to him. It is the intention of Mr. Springett to attend him to the scaffold. He expressed the wish to be accompanied by that Getttleman to the place of exe cution, yesterday morning, and it was instantly agreed to. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. G. Sutton and W. 1 7 41 lard, two journeymen plumbers, were brought up for re-examination yesterday. On Tuesday evening, the warehouse, of Mr. Bowyer, carpet-manufacturer, in St. Mil dred's-court, was broken into, and sundry-bilk, stamps, and about Jes, in silver in a canvas bag taken away. As the premises had been entered by a door on the leads, and as the prisoners had been at work on those leads that day, suspicion fell on them, and they were brought before Mr. Alderman Besot on Wednesday, who thought there was ground for detaining them. Upon coming to the bar yesterday, Mr.Bowyer proclaimed their innocence, and said he had the real thief in custody. They were accordingly removed from the bar, and Akio trier White, a lad is the employ of a cheese monger in the Old Kent Road, took their place. J. Salmon, a baker, of No. 5, Paragon-row, New Cent Road, said the 'ptisoner, whom he bad known some time ' said on Wednesday morning he had something to shew him, and produced a black leather pocket book, containing bills, Sec. and a Swansea note, which the boy told him if he could get change for it, he might keep Ws. for himself. He also saw a canvas bag 'with some silver, in his possession. He judged from the boy's conduct some robbery had been committed, and coining over into the City in the evening, beard of the affair at Mr. Bowyer's, who identified the pocket-book and its contents. On the prisoner's apprehension, he had still the stolen canvas bag in his possession, and stated he got to the premises by secreting him self in the yard of an adjoining public-house, and remained on the leads all nigh( till the watchman had gone off at six o'clock. The prisoner hear t statement with apathy, and was committed. The two plumbers were dismissed with a declaration of their innocence, BOW-STREET. George Swaim, a countryman, was brought up by Mr. Westcott, one of the constables serving in his own right for St. Martin's pa rish, on suspicion of having stolen a piece of cloth, the property of Messrs. J. and T. Sergeant, clothiers, at Trowbridge, Wilts. The prisoner was stopped at three o'clock in the morning of the 18th inst. in Long-acre, with a large package on his shoulder, ad dressed to " Mr. J. Bush, Newark." He gave cenfused answers to the questions put to him, and. was taken to the watch-house, where Mr. Westcott, it bring a cold night, suffered him to remain up stairs before a good fire. It has, been ince ascertained, that the . parcel was sent by Messrs. Sargeant to Or. Bush, at Newark, and was stolen from a Frome waggon, at Hounslow. The prisoner was remanded for further examination on Monday next. Manhes Fitzpuirk.k, an elderly m..n, of good address and decent appearance, was brought before Mr. Har.r.s, on Wednesday night, charged with stealing a silver tea-spoon, from the St. Alban's coffee house, Charles-street, St. James's. He was observed to go into the back coffee-room, in which there was no other person, and almost directly after he came out again, and left the house. The spoon was missed instantly, and he was followed and brought back before he had walked many yards, when he produced the spoon from the sleeve of his coat. In his defence, he denied that he had produced the spoon; and said he saw it under the corner of a tea-tray, the moment he was brought back into the room, and took it up, saying—" Why, here is your spoon !"—He was committed to Newgate for trial. U I ON- HAL L. John Wiratlakotk was charged with having stolen four small holly trees from the grounds of Lord Besborough, at Itoehamptotr, Sur rey. The prisoner was a labourer in Lord Besborough's employ. Lordship's carpenter, on going round the park on Monday morning, for the purpose of repairing the palings that were blown down by the vicilence of the weather, discovered the four holly trees secreted inside the railing. The circumstance was meutioued to Lord Besborough, and some persons were directed to conceal them selves close to the place, and watch for the person who should take them away. A constable lay in ambush in the park, and in the evening the prisoner made his appearance, and attempted to carry off the trees, but was taken into custody.—The prisoner was fined 20s. and costs; but not having the money to pay, he was committed to the llouse of Correction to hard labour fur one month, and to be once whipped during that time. II ATTON-G A ADEN. A genteelly-dressed young man, who gave his name as .george Sou, was charged by John Wheeler with attempting to steal a paper parcel out of a waggon belonging to Messrs. Worster and Stubbs, 3st, Wharf, City BaSin, on Friday last. The prosecutor, who is town.carrier to Worster and Stubbs, stated, that he had stopped at a house in Middle-row, Holborn, to hand in a package of goods, and, when he turned round from the door, he saw the prisoner jump out of the waggon with something in his hand, and run away. I'rosecytor pursued him, and gave him in charge to a constable. The parcel produced was found on the prisoner's person, and is directed—" Mr. Ullathosn, Gate. street, Lincoln's Inn-fields," where the prosecutor- was charged to deliver it. Mr. George Hall, clerk in the employ of Messrs. Werster and Stubbs, said, that the parcel came to their office by canal the day before, and was delivered by hint to last witness to take out. The parcel bring opened was found to contain shue.thre:..l to the value of about £3.

A man named Lindsey, who has been some days in eustnly, was charged with endeavouring fraudulently to obtain £ 5 from Nlr. Mortimer, a Solicitor, of the Albany. Some time since , a box c tn. taining several deeds and legal instruments were stolen from 11r. Mortimer's office. A few days after, Mr. Moitiiintr inserted an a s i. vertisement in a Newspaper, and in reply theieto an anonymou s letter was sent to him, offering to return the documents, upon WO. dition that £lO was; paid to, the landlord of the Fox and tiao-c„._ The matter was not noticed by Mr. Mortimer until the pristia t i t called on him, and offered the same terms as those contained h the letter. Mr. M. agreed to give him £3, but the prisoner as. sumed a high tone, said his principal would not agree to s.ie:t terms and was about to withdraw, when Mr. Mortimer gave him into the custody of a constable. He then said that a man named Barker, whq is on board a convict ship at Sheerness, had requested him to calls a Mr. Blortimer, and demand 101. for the deeds.

Accordingly, au officer was sent to the For and Goose with the live guineas, and he commoricated his business to the landlord, who went out for some time. In akw minutes after his return, the officer was told there was a p‘rsoti outside who wanted hini, and, on his going out, he there found a man with a hag containing all the papers, which he delivered up to the offi:er, and teceived the five guineas as the reward of his honesty, and, in pursuance et* the agreement, the prisoner was discharged. Tuesday morning, about three n'clock, a fire broke out in a painter's shop, Lime-street, Liverpnol, which totally consumed it, but has done much injury to the adjoini , .g buildings.

CANAL AND RAIL-ROAD.—We have great pleasure in announcing that the Committee, at their Meetrig nn Saturday last, came to a resolution of requesting, Mr; TELFORD to report upon the practicability of forming a canal, the expense of it, &c. and also upon the cost and expediency of adopting a rail-road. This will give satisfaction to the public, and nothing short of another report from some engineer of eminence would have done so.—Tyne Mercupy. ' The following decision has been made in the Court of Common Pleas, at New York :•••‘' That the owners of a ship were liable for damage sustained by ownets of goods on freight, firm any other cause than those excepted in the bill of lading, say the dangers of the sea, meaning, as explained by the C , utt, the acts of GOD and the dangers from enereres." The suit was brought to recover amount of damage sustained in a parcel of furs shipped at New Oileans for this port, and partially eaten by rats. The Court charged that the owners of the ship, as commit carriers, were liable; and a verdict was given accOrdingly. Believing that owners and Captains of vessels are not generally suffi ciently aware of the application of this law, this no:ice is given that proper precaution; may be observed, to guard against more serious consequence,.
