IN THE MATTER OP CLARK, A PR/SOWER. • Mr. ROUPELL applied to the Lord Chancellor - for a writ of Habeas Corpus, directed to the Warden of the Fleet. commanding him to bring op the body of Mr. Clack, who was in his custody for a contempt of this Court, in not paying a sum of money pursuant to an order which had been made upon him. The object of the application was, that Mr. Clark might be. present at the hearing cf. a cause in which he was a party, in the Court of Delegates. .Mr.-Roupell stated, that a motion had been made before the Vice Chancellor for an order to the same effect, and that motion, after long discussion. had been dismissed with costs The present application was thetefore somewhat in the nature of an appeal from the Vice• Chancellor's decision. He then stated the case, which arose under the will of a Mr. Stott, an empiiical practitioner of medicine, in Hart street, Bloomsbury, the particulars of which have been often before the public. The prisoner and his brother being the residuary legatees of Mr. Stott, had been ordered by the Court to pay a sum of money amount ing to .5,0001. in a suit preferred by the testator's 'daughter; the brother had gone abroad, and both of them had neglected to do so. A suit was instituted also in the Ecclesiastical Court, , and upon the decision of that Court an appeal was now pending before the Court of Delegates. For the purpose of being present at the hearing of that appeal the present application 'was made. He was too poor to comply with the order of the Court, and might relieve himself from the order of the Court by means of the Insolvent Debtors' Act. The LORD CHANCELLOR said Mr. Clark had been ordered also to transfer some stock, which he had not done; and that if he resorted to the Insolvency Act, he most give up all the property. Mr. ROUPELL submitted, that notwithstanding the decision of the Vice-Chancellor upon the motion for an order, the motion (or a Habeas Corpus was one of light, and to which the prisoner was entitled. The Loan CHANCELLOR said that it would be of no use to grant a writ to bring him up, since, if he did not purge his contempt, he must be remanded. As Counsel had been heard on both sides before, he did not like to dispose of the case now ex parte. . Mr. Hourau. submitted that, notwithstanding his contempt. the Court might order him to attend the :Court of Delegates. The LORU CHANCELLOR did not doubt that the Court had the power to do so; but it was a power which the art would not exercise for the purpose of granting indulgence to a party who was wilfully in contempt. Mr. Rourau was inclined to deny that it would be any indulgence to the prisoner. It appeared to him a tight, and not an indulgence. The prisoner would be brought up in vinculie, and would attend the Court of Delegates in vinculis ; because it wabf not asked that he should be discharged, but merely that he might attend the hearing of his own cause. Could this be refused to a poor man who had not perhaps 5,000 prate, and who was nevertheless in custody for not paying 5,000/.? His cause was every thing to him, and in the absence of Counsel to address the Court in his behalf, how could he hope for any success if he were not allowed to be present in the Court himself. Was justice still to be deferred indefinitely in this case? The LORD CHANCELLOR inquired if Mr. Clark was a professional man ? Mr. Belleau. believed not. In representing him as having no Counsel to argue his case, he had spoken merely hypothetically. His hypothesis was only in tended to ahew, that in such a case he had a right to be present to argue in his own person. The Lour CHANCILLOtt thought it unlikely that such a case should oteur ; bat ut •allevents, in his present view of the case, he felt himself obliged to hear Counsel on the other side before he made any order. As the Vice Chancellor had gone fully into the question, heating Counsel on boils sides, and had dismissed the application with costs, he (the Chancellor) did not conceive that he should be justified in making any order upon an ex parte application which should overturn the decision of ins Honour upon no better grounds than those which had been stated. IN RC JODDRELL, A LUNATIC. Thep tition mentioned some days ago came on to be argued. It stated, that Mr. Edward Joddrell, the Com. mittee of the lunatic,who was in possession of theLewkier estate, had been very much annoyed by some colts which had been suffered to run wild about the property, ,and he prayed a reference to the Master to ascertain whether it would be expedient to sell them. . The LORD CHANCELLOR, after hearing Counsel, directed the reference as prayed. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, JAL 16. • JOHNSON V. CHIPPENDALE. His HONOUR in a few words gave judgment case. The point in dispute was, whether a chose us action could be sequestrated ? The Vice CHAhCELLOa observed, that there was a solemn decision of Lord Eldon's upon this subject, and, supported by that authority, he had no hesitation in de ciding that a chose in action should not be sequestrated. NYE V. MOSELEY. This was a case in which a bill had been filed by Sophia Nye, for the purpose of compelling the defend. ant to give a bond for 1001. a year, in lieu of one which he had taken away from her and destroyed; or, in the alternative, a bond for SGI. a year, and for two sums of 5001. to be given to the illegitimate children which the plaintiff had borne to the defendant. The case had been very fully argued before Sir John Leach, on which oc• casion the defendant resisted the prayer of the bill, on the ground of his being a married man, and his Cotin sel argued that, considering the relation between the two parties. the bonds were invalid. Sir John Leach was of opinion that the bonds were valid ; but in order to set the question completely at rest, the Learned Judge drew up such a case as he conceived would em brace all the doubtful points, and sent it down to the 'Oourt of King's Bench. It was there argued, and the result of the trial was, that the claim of Sophia Nye, could be supported at law. .Mr. Swings now, upon this decision from the Court of King's Bench, applied on the part of the plaintiff for a decree directing the Muter to have prepared for her a new boad fa 1001. a year. The Learned Counsel also asked for the costs of the suit, which, he observed, his elitist was entitled to as a matter of course. Mr. SPUltiall followed on the same side. Mr. LOTATT, fee the defendant, thought the whole of the costs ought not to fall oa his client. The plaintiff had asked for one bond, which it now appeared she had a right to, but she bad also asked for another, which he was prepared to show that she could not bare succeeded inclaiming. Mr. SUODES said, the prayer was in the alternative, and that Mr. Lovatt's objection must therefore fall to the ground. If the costs, which were quite of course, were resisted, be would go into the whole of the facts of this disgraceful case. Mr. Lovarr said, he was not to be deterrecrby threats of that kind, and repeated his objection. Mr. SUODEN then went into the case, the details of which were of a very indelic.ite description. It will only be necessary to state, that, on it, appearing by one of the defendant's letters. he gave the bond to Sophre Nye in order to reconcile her to the breaking of the connexion between them, which the defendant statedthe was anlionS to do, as his legitimate children were growing bpi and he kited - his example might be in jurious to them. The VICE CHANCELLOR said he did not wish to hear another word of this matter. Nothing could be plainer than that the bond, if not given after separation, wts all eveots•given for the purpomof separation ; and'!k• had na hesitation in deelaring that the defendant must, immediately execute a new bond for one hundred. pounds, and pay all the costs attendant epos die proceedings. Mr. Suonatt observed. that even if his Honour had not come to that conclusion, he was prepared with a case directly in point, where it was held that a bond might be recovered even if given during cohabitation. COURT OF KIND'S BENCH, Ombosass, JAN. 16. • Sedges before Lord Tasinnusrar and a Comm' a Jury. Though it was known that this mcrning was set apart for the trial of Robert Taylor, and six other individuals, on an indictment charging them with having entered into a conspiracy to blaspheme, the Court was on its opening far from being crowded. At halt-past nine o'clock the defendant appeared in Court, dressed in full canonicals. His trial was, however, postponed till to morrow, in consequence of an unimportant cause hav ing occupied the Court till half•past one o'clock. Mr. Taylor is to defend himself in person ; the can de fendants have retained Mr. Brougham. Before Lord Trarreassu and a Special Jury. CONSPIRACY. . THE KING V. ROBERT BOLTON AND ANOTHER. This *as an indictment for a conspiracy to defraud the Sun Fire-office, by making a false representation of a loss toy fire. The ATV/I%HW GENIIRAL stated the case for the pro secution. The evidence he would lay before the Jury would, be feared, reader it difficult for the defendants to deliver themselves from the very serious offence im puted to them by this indictment. The defendant Bol ton, until lately, carried on the business of a spice and coffee dealer in Little Eastcheap, and he had a private residence at Kennington. The defendant, Wm. Briggs, was a servant in his employ. Mr. Bolton had effected in the Sun Fire-office an insurance of 4,0001. on his stock in trade, consisting of coffee, almonds, spices, and other articles. He was in partnership with a Gentleman of the name of Pearson, as a wine and spirit merchant, but that business was kept quite distinct from the other.— On the evening of the 10th of May, 1826, a fire broke out in the upper part of the premises in Little But cheap. Tbe Snn Firerifgee was apprised - of it the next morning, and their surveyor (Mt. Toplis) went to the-pre mises to Make the usual inspection and ascertain the amount of lrss sustained; and in answer to inquiries of the defendant (Bolton) that Gentleman stated generally that a large quantity of almonds, and other articles, had been damaged by the water which had been used for extinguishing the fire. The surveyor 'remarked, that the injury done to the premises appeared to be very small, and expressed some surprise at hearing the extent of damage of the goods as stated by Mr: Bolyn. The latter, however, repeated that considerable damage had beenadone, and said it had been occasioned partly by 'a great' number of persons having rushed into the pre rnises from the street. Mr. Toplis went to the premises again the next day, and then saw, on the ground. !lone, 'several casks (which he had not observed on his first tacit) containing almonds, pepper, ginger, and . other 'ankles, which appeared to have been damaged by water. Mr. Toplis desired Mr. Bolton to deliver his. claim, in respect of his estimated loss, to the office; and after some delay, a claim was sent in to the amount of 281/. 16s. 9J. The (Ace having considered this an exorbitant demand, made some resistance to it, and the matter was eventually teferred to arbitration. The de fendant Briggs, who was examined before the arbitra tors on the part of Bolton, stated every particular which it was thought necessary to give in evidence to substan -tiate the claim made; but the arbitrators; after a full investigation of the matter, reduced the sum from 2811. 16s. 9d. to 1801. and the balance, after deducting half the expenses of the reference, was paid by the insurance office to Mr. Bolton. Shortly after a letter was received by Mr. Toplis from the defendant (Mr. Briggs), which led to a suspicion on the part of the Sun Fire Office Directors that some fraud had been practised by Mr. Bolton. The letter, which was dated the 24th of January, 1827, and addressed to Mr. Top lis, as the surveyor to the office, stated, that the writer (Btipg.) was about to leave Mr. Bolton's service in a few days, and expressed his regret that he had ever had any thing to do with the business connected with the fire. Upon the receipt of this letter the directors caused a further investigation to be made respecting_ the loss alleged to have been sustained by ft. Bolton in conic quence of the fire, and the result of that investigation had led to the present indictment against the two de fendants. The learned counsel then detailed some of the principal facts as they were afterwards proved by the witnesses, whose evidence Is given below. He eid not, he said, mean to attribute to the defendant Bolton, that he set the premises on Ere. What he meant to charge him with was, that he had taken advantage of the fire (which it was believed bad been occasioned by accident), for the purpose of making a claim on the Fire Office greatly beyond the amount of the actual loss sustained. That was the offence imputed by the pre sent indictment; and if the facts which he had stated were proved, a dear case of conspiracy and fraud would have been made out, and the jury would be bound to find both the defendants guilty. The insurance by the defendant Bolton in the Sun Fire Office for 4,0001. and the payment to him of 1721. 2s. Yd. the balance of the sum awarded by the arbitrators, were proved. Thomas Darwin, a porter in the employ of MeUrs. Usill and Wood, spice -merchants, of Little Eastcheap, stated, that on the evening of the 10th of May. 1f126,1 between eight and nine o'clock, he was in Little.Easta cheap, opposite the warehouse of the defendant Bolton, when he heard an alarm of fire. Witness and another man endeavoured so ,affect an entrance at the lower part of the defendant's premises, but not succeeding, they got in at the next house, and ascended to the !oaf, of Bolton's premises. On breaking into it, they found in the back room of the attic a conk of almonds. .Wit ne4 procured some water and extinguished the fire. The cask containing the almonds was only partly burnt, but on witness taking 4 . 4, it broke in pieces. These were some empty casks in the room, but the fire did not extend to them. The floor was burnt its the space where the cask of almonds stood, but no where else. The floor in that space was not burnt through. The almonds in the cask weighed about SOOlb. They were. worth about 71. per cwt. No damage was done to either of the other floors. Mr. Bolton came home the same evening between ten and eleven o'clock. On being told of the fim, he did not appear to be alarmed, and expressed no concern about it. Ctoss•examioed by Mr. Beovottme—The tool of the house was not borne. I aid if Mr. Bolton would give me some money, I would not appear as a witness against him, but !never said so till a mita named Partridge asked me the question. - 1 Aitiline,=niet - :tis...Str....fienry Wood, " I suppose you have •heirecof the proposition I made to Partridge." Never proposed to the defendant Bolton to take 101. not to * hilashi . Never said to Mr. H.Wood that if lift.. Bo ton iiioldilveme • money I would not appeal* against him. • Re-examined—la a caarree s atie w w i t h sa t phik on yesterday respecting my attendance here to-day, Mr. Bolton said to me, "Why, Thomas, I havebeen -a great friend to your master,and you ought to consider my wife and family." I told him I should spesik the troth. • Morrie Darwin, and Joseph Rome, a beadle, con. . firmed thetestimony of the-last witness. Theletterstated, that ten or twelve persons-from the stoat madetheir way into the warehouse when the alarm Sys *PS given, but they did nu damage, and edition:4nd no plunder.-- Four men were put in, to guard the premises. Robert Storey, a _fireman of the Sun Office, gaye similar testimony. Mr. Jas. Toplis,•the surveyor of the Sun Fire.offlce. 1 went to Mr. Bolton's warehouse the morning after the fire, about ten o'clolk. Mr. Bohan was not there at the time. I went with Briggs to the count whOre the ,fire had happened, and saw there the remains of burnt almonds, and some empty eaiks at a little distance.— There was a hole in the floor which appeared not to • have been burnt, but chopped. On going into the se• cond floor, I saw the semains of what•had fallen from the attic, but nothing else. 1 inquired of Btigts what articles had been damaged by thafire-,i - lit said nothing but the almonds in the past.
