: LA IV .12EPO.C. . •COURT OF CHANCERY, JULY 15.. • HEAT IN THE COURT. - The LORD CHAHCRI.I.OR, upon takinz his seat, di r- c'ed the doors and windows of the hall to be opened, in order to admit as much air as possible. His Lord ship stated that he had been obliged to rise yesterchly before the usual hour, on account of the excessive heat c.f the Court. He_was scarcely-able to walk to his room. Mr. Hoorn assurer:this Lordship that the Bar felt the heat equally oppressive. At the Rolls Court last night, Counsel . were forcei to go out, one after another to pre vent them from fainting. Sir Thomas Plumer had adapted the building to the purposes of a dwelling house as well as a Court of Justice, and if its present form remained, the 13,r would he nearly destroyed. It Was like the Black Hole of Calcutta. GORDOS V. GAIDON. His LORDSHIP stated, that he had read the papers in this case carefully again, and was still of opinioo there should be no new trial. If the case were brought be -I,re the House of Lnrds, he would endeavour to procure it a speedy hearing ; but his Lordship strongly recom mended a compromise, as the parties were brothers. He begged the Counsel to endeavour to bring it al.out. GnODSON v. ELLIS-N. This was an appeal from the Rolls Court. The de. tails possess no public interest. 11Vheat th_ case was called, both the leading Counsel were abseur.Wiiilst Mr. Knight, for the defendant, was replying, Mr. Agar his leaderappeared, and made an objection in point of form. The Lonn CHANCELLOR complained that this objec tionoccurred at such a late stage of the argument. It was not respectful to the Court that such a practice should continue. Mr. AGAR regretted that he hat been accidentally absent; but the fact was. that the Counsel for the plain tiff had misunderstood the direction of his Lordship on the last hearing of this case. The Loan CUANCILLOI—The fact is, Mr. Apr, that Counsel cannot be in two places at one time. Mr. Aoaa—No, my Lord— The Loan Cmartzsizon—No, my Lord—but I say, yes. It is a very inconvenient practice for Counsel, at a late stage of the pro- ceedings, to make objections which ought to have been made at first. Go on, Mr. Knight.—. Mr. Agarsat down. 'VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, JUL? IS. FORSTER AND OTHERS V. BURRELL. AND OTHERS. This case came before the Court upon further direc tions. A Gentleman named Forster, who was possessed of considerable real and personal property in Northum btrlauld, at his death bequeathed the whole of it to the defendants in trust for his natural children, Augustus Czsar Forster, and Julia Cain Forster, to be equally divided amongst them. They therefore filed the pre sent bull to have the intent'ons of the testator carried into effect. The VICE-CHANCELLOR directed an inquiry to the Master to ascertain the value of the real and personal c,tates, with a view to their division between the plain tiffs ? and his Honour also directed a fund to be reserved from the personal estate for the payment of the costs. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JULY 15. The Court was occupied till its rising at one o'clock in hearing common jury causes of no public interest. The Witt is adjourned to October 20. SrlitffEY QUARTER SESSION& GUILDFORD, JULY 13. THE KING V. BELASCO. Mr. COWLEY moved the Court that the trial of Be. lasco, charged with a misdemeanour committed at the Epsom Races, be put off till the next Sessions, on the ground that the defendant was too ill to attend, with out endanget ipg his 1 fe. The Learned Counsel put in a certificate ' of Dr. Bree, of George -street, H anover. square, which stated that it would be exceedingly dan gerous for the defendant to appear in his present state of health to take his trial. This statement was con firmed by the evidence of Mr. Cochrane, an assistant to Mr. Jones, a surgeon, in Princes -street, Cavendish square, who said that the defendant was labouring un der an infi 'mutation, produced by a rheumatic attack, and at that moment his arms and legs were blistered. Mr. Tinsman, for the prosecution, said, that he should call evidence to prove that the defendant was in good health, and he hoped the Court would not comply with his Learned Friend's motion. The Rev. Mr. Lee. a Clergyman of the Church of England, was celled, and he deposed, that he had seen the defendant, Belasco, within the last few days come out of the Five: Coon, leaning.on the arm of a Gentleman, and apparently in good health. Mr. Cow Lay cross-examined the Reverend Gentle. man. lie said he knew Belasco, because he had been pointed out to him some time ago, in the Saloon of 'Drury-Lane Theatre. Mr. Calmly—You,* •Clergyman of the Church of England, and frequent the Saloon of Drury-Lane Theatre, and become ac quainted with the pugilist, Belasco? Witness—l did not become acquainted with him; I saw him there.—Mt. Colour: Were there any other Clergymen there hesides yourself ?—Witness: I do not know; I saw none ; but I saw many Noblemen and Gentlemen. Mr. Cowt.u—So, yen swear that you saw the defendant, a few days ago, come out of the Fives' Court?—Witness : Yes, I did. Mr. C C OWLIT-Will you swear it was a. week or a f ortnight ago ?—Witness: I will not. Mr. Coveter—Will you swear that you were never in the Fives' Court to witness the science of pugilism yourself ?—Witness ; I was there once, I own. The COURT consulted for some time, and as the witness could not say it was less than a fortnight since he saw Belasco, the trial was, therefore, put off till next Seisions. JOHN DAVIS AND THE PARISH OP BLICHINGLY. This was an appeal against a poors' rate made and signed by two Justices of the Peace for the county of Stirrer, viz.—the Rev. Mr. Kenrick and Mr. Jervis— upon the defendant. The ground of the objection taken by the appellant was. that the Rev. Mr. Kenrick, who had signed the rate upon the parish, had excluded his ea`le., amounting to one thousand tutee hundred pounds pev annum, from paying towards the rate in question. The rate was six shillings and eightpence in the pond, a^ci one of the parishione - s.deposed, that if the Rev. I:. Kenrick had paid his quota of the rate, his own perion would have been one-third less than demanded. The Counsel for the respondents moved to quash his own order, on.thit ground that it was tosiernta, when •Mr. Tianstou, for the appellant, Moved for the costs • which the Court granted, alto making some observations upon costs; of the Rev. Magistrate, in excluding himself from the rate. A new rate was ordered to be made. ESSEX adARTER SESSIONS, JULY 13. EXTRAORDINARY 'KM/D.—TIM KING V. CHARLES BAYLISS. This was an indictment at. Comm - n Law against the lEe'endart, for an eztot tion in obtaining from Jame .4abbs, in the parish cf Great Burstead;.the sum of 121 T. eer a threat of prosecuting • him ' for attempting tr s ., c he chastil 'et the dettndart% wile. The prosecutor, an infirm old man, upwards of '''S ye:us of age, deposed that be was possessed of consi derable property at Billericay, and lived on an inde ,eeedence. The defendant, a bric'klayer's labourer, was his weekly tenant of a cottage.in :be. same town. On the 14th of October lsst i he called' upon - the defendant to receive 'some rent which was in arreir . ; the ciefen (int put Fiim off until the'lBth, and told him if he called on that day he should have the money. • Ac cordingly, he called on the ISth, but found the de fend Int from home. The defendant's wife, however, invited him to sit down in the keeping room, in which was a bed, and told him he should have his money pie sently. The wife quitted the room, and soon after wards returned, leaving the door partly open. To his astonishment she threw herself on the bed, in a most indecent manner, atizl proposed that he should do some thing not to be mentioned. Stocked at her conduct, he was about to quit the apartment, when she jumped up, seized him by the arms, aid dragged him on the bed, and elated him in a posorrz with regard to her person, which, to a suspicious mind, would be thou ;ht unequi vocal.ln this predicament, the defendant, who was sup posed to be lurking in the adj. , king apartment, watch ing proceedings, thrust his head in at the door, and observin4 the scene, muttered a curse and withdrew. Witness having disengaged himself from his position, quitted the house as soon as he could, overcome with the violence of the wife, and astounded at her conduct. Next morning he saw the defendant, who. adverting to the unpleasant affair lie had witnessed, told him th it Wire did not give him 201. he would prosecute him for the attack on his wife's chastity. Witness, dreading such an exposure, though conscious of his innocence,' told the defendant he would meet him in the afternoon, in a neighbouring lane, and speak with him on the subject. Accordingly he met him, and the d fendant renewed his demand and threat. Under the influence of the threat, he paid the defendant 12/. and the latter gave him a receipt for the money in the evening. In a day or two afterwards, he got the receipt back again, under pretence of adding " junior" to lees name, his father's name being also " Charles." As soon as he got possession of it, however, he tore it in pieces. Tne defendant afterwards obtained several sums of money from witness, under similar threats, amounting in all to 401. He also obtained from him an acquittance for rent, and a promise to occupy his cottage for the future rent free. The defendant having subsequently de manded a sum of 501. he thought it right to consult his attorney, who advised this proceeding. On his cross examination by Mr. DOWLING, witness said he was an, elder of a Dissenting Congregation in Billericay. had sometimes called at defendant's cottage when he was from home, but denied any familiarities with his wife.' Never consulted any of his family, although he had two grown sons, with one of whom he lived. Dezlared positively that he gave the defendant the money from an apptehension of being prosecuted. Nothing was extracted from the witness to shake his credit. The constable who took t he defendant to prison, proved that on the road from the committing Justice's office, he charged the defendant with having obtained £lO from a surgeon of Billericay, under a similar threat, which he did not deny. The wile also, in the defendant's hearing, reproached him with having received several sums of money from the prosecutor, without giving her any part of the amount. _ _ Strong observations were addressed to the Jury on behalf of the defendant : first, as to the insufficiency of the evidence to sustain the charge • and, second, as to the utter improbability of the story, un confirtned as it was by disinterested testimony. Mr. BILAYSTON, the Chairman, summed up the case for the Jury, who, after some deliberation, found•the defendant G u ilty. The COURT sentenced him to 12 months' Imprisonment. The defendant's wife was then indicted for assaulting the prose cutor in the manner above described; bat the Jury found her Not Guilty. SUMMER ASSIZES. ABINGDON, JULY Is. PORTER V. JUBB. This was an action for money lent by the plaintiff to the defendant. The loan of the money, and the pro. mise to repay it, were proved by a person of consider able provincial celebrity as a man of the fancy, who was called 4‘ Black Will," from the colour of his com plexicin, and of his enormous whiskers, this Gentleman stating that he was in the shop of the plaintiff, who was a barber, and to which he went to have his Whiskers trimmed, at the time of that conversation. In his cross-examination by Mr. tieRVIS, Black Will stated that he never knew that the money was lent for the purpose i f backing the Cheltenham champion against the Chelses snob, nor had he ever heard of such A match being made ; he also stated that he did not stake money on fights; he was not rich enough, but he admitted that he sometimes sported a pound or two. Mr. Jaavis admitted that he could not answer the plaintiff's case, and Mr. Baron GARRow then directed a verdret for the plaintiff. William Hills, aged 10, was Indicted for breaking into a granary, killing a calf with Intent to steal the satne, and stealing two sacks, the.property of James Lucas. The prisoner was found Guilty, and the sentence of death. ordered to be recorded. James Wrench was indicted for stealing a bay mare, the property of William Rashbrooke.—Gisilty. • William Abb. a lad, 17 years of age, was indicted for feloniously stealing, Gn the 30th of March last, divers country notes, amounting in all to 301. the property of John Evans, Esq. a Commoner of Worcester Col lege, Oxford. Guilty —Seven years' transportation. John Franklin was indicted for having, on the 3d of March last, made an assault on Ann Clack, an infant child, under the age of ten years, and violating her. ,Mr. LOCKWA RT conducted the prosecution. He said, that if his instructions were correct, the prisoner had clearly committed a capital offence. As this was a case in which death would inevitably follow a con viction, the Learned Counsel would not detail the facts which be was instructed would be proved, .but would leave them to be narrated by the witnesses. The proseentrix, an interesting little girl, was then put into the box, and stared round the Court iu the most Taoism manner, as if overcome by a stupor. Mr. Justice Bunnotycx proceeded to question the child ; and having ascertained that she was fully aware of the nature of an oath, her evidence was allowed to be talc , n. She then stated, that she met the prisoner at a place called Woo ley's ground, where they were picking some roots, and that he then treated her in a very indecent manner.—After tepeAted intempts t the Learned Coun s el could not obtain sufficient evidence from her to substantiate the charge, and the prisone' was acquitted. Mr. Justice Boatman said,* was clear thAt something very impr•iser had LAM plac'e, and warned• the prisoner in future tt. conduct himself mote, decently. wINGUESTER, JULY 14., • Janes Iralkinso priutie in the marine service, was pu she bar charged with having On the 6th of Api il , i the parish of Portsea, Mori' iontly made an assault on John Prate, put him in bodily fear, and taken from him three pieces of the cure, tit *coln.or the realm, called pen nies, and fix pieces of coin c riled half-pence. Theprosecutor deposed th;it piisoner stopped him as' he was returning from Portsea, in the niklit stated in the indictment, at about half-past eleven oclo„ k k, att.! de manded 114 money. ft was a clear star-light night, on that witness evertaine..l no doubt of the identity of the prisoner. Witness said he had no money, but the pri soner persisted in his demand, and said he must have it, adding he was tired of the service, and wanted to get oat of it. Prisoner further told witness, in answer to his de nial of having any money, that he knew he had, and so must have money or something else. Fearing the con sequence of a refusal, prosecutor gave him some loose pence, which the prisoner at the bar took, and asked for more. Witness replied he had nothing more about him except some papers, which would be of no tr-e to him. Prisoner said, he knew prosecutor was not without more money,and turning about,as if addressing hinkelf to sons! persons,lreex el aimed ..Come on—come oil !" Witness was led to believe from this that he hid comrades with him, and he asked prisoner if he was not sensible of what he was doing ? In answer to this remonstrance he replied, he a as, and again said, he wanted to get out of the service, for be was tired of it. Witness sad, rake care you do net get your neck in o a halter, and priscner made answer, be did not c'tre whether he was hanged or transported, so as he got oat of his Majesty's service. Witness walked on, and ptisoner followeJ. Voices were heard approaching, and witness imagined they were those of the prisoner's accomplices. Two men came up, to whom witness related what had taken place. Prisoner ttien returned the money he had taken, and said he was sorry for what he had done. Being asked what he Iv as? he said he was a private in the ma rine service, but gave a name sshich afterwards turned out not to be his own. Next day witness went to the barracks, and the prisoner was identified and taken into custody. On his the prosecutor said he thought bins his manner at first the prisoner was intoxicated. He did not ob. serve any stick or other weapon about the prisoner; and on the coming up of the two men on the road, he did not make any at. tempt to escape. 'Witness recommended prisoner to be more cir cumspect in his conduct in future, but there was nothing said about his forgiving the prisoner.—A witness of the name of Foruer we. firmed the statement of the prosecutor. Susan Watkins (prisoner's sister) bore testimony to the good conduct of the pt ironer previous to the com. mission of the present offence. lie was a loving bro. tiler, a good son, and of humane character from his birth. He had been but twelve months in the regi ment, where he bore a most excellent character. Mr. Justice GASRLER charged the Jury, whe, after some deliberation, found the prisoner guilty of stealing, but not guilty of putting the prosecutor in bodily fear. The COUR? said, if the two Alleptions were .separated the indictment fell to the ground ; and it was, in law, a verdict for the prisoner. His I.orjship recommended them to reconsider their verdict. After some further consideration the Jury brought in a verdict of Guilty. Mr. Missnte submitted he might move an arrest of judgment on the ground of the special finding of the Jury; but his Lordship being of a contrary opinion, judgment of death was recorded against the prisoner. The prosecutor recommended the prisoner to mercy. Mr. Justice °Amax addressed the prisoner, and informed him if he could procure authentic testimony to his former good charac ter, it might be allowed to weigh in his favour. The prisoner, vho is a fine-looking young man, bowed respect. fully to the Bench and retired. THE KING V. DAVID WOLFE. Mr. Serjeant WILDE stated the details of the case. The charge against this defendant was, that he, in con junction with others, not now before the Court, had a:tacked revenue officers, and taken out of their pos session certain goods, which they had seized as contra band. The transaction which gave rise to this prose cution, took place in the night of the 18th of Ja nuary. last. It would appear, from the evidence which, he was instructed to say. would be laid before the Jury, that. the Revenue Officers, Cheatham and Clarke, were out on their dtity, suspecting something of contraband goods in the parish of Fawley, near South ampton. Theysoon saw a man on horseback passing them, looking round as if in a suspicious way. There soon came carts, loaded with spirits, and attended by several men. The Officers, notwith,tanding the numbers againit them, did not shrink from their duty. They seized on the carts, and having driven away the smugglers, were leading them to the establishment, where it was their duty to deposit the goods, when they were attacked in the most violent manner, seized by their necks and hands, and treated in the most brutal manner. They were left much hurt, and the spiriti with the carts were rescued from them. Some of the casks of spirits were found on the following day, and seized by the revenue officers. The question for the Jury was, whether on the evidence tl.ey thought the defendant was one of those men who thus assaulted the officers? He would be able to prove the gross assault on the officers be yond a possibility of doubt; and the only question that could remain was the identity of the defendant? Cheatham and Clarke, two boatmen of the coast guard, swore generally to Wolfe being the man who attacked them ; but, on Cheatham's cross-examination, some equivocal evidence was elicited, and Clarke did not swear positively to Wolfe. Mr. C. F. WILLIAMS addressed the Court at some length for defendant, and several witnesses were ex amined for the defence, who gave the defendant a good character, and provcd that Wolfe could not have been present at the rer.contre, from a varicty of circum stances which took place at the time.—The defendant was acq►ritted. ITERTFOR . D 31/LY rs. WAltDotl v. MOkOAN. The plaintiff, Mr.'WeedOn; is . ** papeimelrer, 'id ari eltensive way of busineii, cvhose - mill is'situated on a current of water called the LoOcivrater•stream, near Rickmansworth: the defendant, Mrs. Morgan, • is a Lady of considerable fortune, who, id 1920, purchased some property in the neighbourhood bf the mill; and the present action was brought *on account of her stones to be thrown into this stream a quantity of StoeS and" rubbish, by which an obstruction was created to the power of the water-wheel, by penning back the water upon the tail of the mill. A former action upon the same citcoMstances.was tried at the last Assizes in March; when the plaintiffol. 7 " covered 501. damagei. Tie present action was brought fir a continuance of the obstruction, from the time of :be declaration in the former cause. The Lotto Cnize.Jusema interrupted Mr. Bnwitto, who led for chit plaintiff, ley recommending 'that the matter in contest should be referred to some person whp might regulate the right of the par-. les; but defendant's Counsel ansieeted. After a long trial, the Jury brought In a verdict for t h e plaintiff —Damages £lOOO. CRISI. C9N.••OOLLIgO V. %MOWS& • Mr. S orjeant SPANKIS *Ladd the Cilyeto the Jury.. The plaintiff was in a respectable, although a humble walk of lifs.Tesiding in the town of.St . . - Alhait's—a man of some properti;tie fiad been married 15 'ye iri, dur ing which period his wife had borne him eight children, all of whom were now alivefliie was now ab oat forty, and his wife som.:where about the same age. The de fendant was about sixty, a widower,with a small family of grown up children, and hiving kept for many' years the Blue Boar Inn, in St. Alban's, and a person of con siderable property. Between the plaintiff and defendant theie had existed a considerable degree of confidence, and he thought be could rely im licitly on his rectitude. The Learned Counsel then described the nature of the testimony he should bring forward; he actin:tied that Mrs. Dolling had a child before marriage, and. that since the parties had not lived on tl:e happiest terns • ; nevertheless, he retied on such a verd.ct from tbe 7 iity as would mark their sense of the conduct of defenJaw. Two witnesses, named Joseph Niles and Thomas Lines, swore that they saw the defendant and Mrs. Dolling, one evening In March last, between eight Anti nine o clock, meet near the Pea•hen public.house, And retie to a field, where they saw them in a situation which could leave no doubt of their criminality. On their eross-ertmination, it was proved these wit nesses had subsequently demanded and received sums of money from the defendant ; but on making a sintilar application to Mts. Dolling, she said she would send for a constable, indignantly refusing to comply with their extortion ; also, that the defendant denied that Mrs. Dolling was the female in his company. Another witness, William Hurst, deposed, that ten rears ago be several times saw the parties in equivocal situations; for mentioning it, however, he was prosecuted, and obliged to pay Xto to stop proceedings. . Mr. ADOLPHUS, for the defence, said, Mr. Witdbore had been selected as a ma: k for obloquy and plunder, because he was thought to be wealthY . ; the defendant might have been guilty of a grossly immoral act, but certainly not with Mrs. Dolling. Chief Justice Barr summed up the cue to the Jury, remarking very strongly upon die conduct of Parks and Lines. 11 such to timony could receive credit at the hands of a Jury, go man's ire or character would be safe.-.. Verdict for the defendant. Samuel Neiman, a hawker of books, was indicted Air stealing a watch, seal, &c. from the. dwelling-house 'of George Pollard, of 1-loildesdon. It appeared the prisoner had been leaving cataloeues of publications at several houses in the village or iltkir• desdon ; the prosecutor's watch and seal had been hanging in the front room, and being afterwards missed, a person was sent in pursuit of the prisoner, whose appearance had excited suspicion.' On being ap. proached, he threw something in a hedge; .wh . th, on being searched for, proved to be the watch, tied up in a handkerchief. The prisoner at first all ged his Milo• cence, and expressed a V. ininglieS3 to be searched, but sub.eque,ntly acknowledged tne theft, and asked to be set at liberty. The prisoner beng called on for his defence, stited, he had bought the watch on the road for 103 . . and hay ing he .rd some rumour of a watch bring lost, to avoid any suspicion, put the watch in ihe hedge, but thnied having admi•ted his guilt when apprehende t.
