LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCRRY, Nov. IL EX•PARTE TAYLOR. Mr. MowrAuu moved that the petition in this mat ter might be amended, by adding a prayer for the as signment to the petitioner cf the bond which had been entered into on the commission being issued. His Lord ship would recollect that the petition was at first, that Counsel m44lt he beard before the Commissioners, who had thought fit to Make a rule that they would not let Counsel attend Ware them. Mr. Taylor, against a hom o.e comaussion was issued, had never been a trader within the meaning of the bankrupt laws. He was de sirous of proving this to the Commissioners, and he wished to have the assistance of Counsel for the pur p sr& of cross-examining the witnesses. When bis Lord ship's authtlity had been obtained for this. the result answered Mr. Taylor's expectation; for the witnesses who were to have pro/ea the trading broke down. 0 e .Commissioners were satisfied that there was no pretence for the commission, and it was therefore at an end. He now wished to have the bond frr the purpose of pur suing the remedy the law had provided for him. TheLORD CHANCELLOR doubted whether there ought Dot to he a new petition. lii. Moarraou said it was the common practice to permit an amendment under such circumstances. Hss Lonostne therefore granted the application. 111 RE HEWITT, A LUNATIC. Mr. Pr. vs (with whom sv:.s Mr. %Vitas() applied for ass order, that the lunatic might he removed from Scar borGu4h. %%here she was at present, to York. The affi davit. stated that she was affl cted with a dropsy, and that she was wet properly taken case of in the asylum of Miss Halliday at Scarborough ; that no medical advice had been afforded to her, and that she was al lowed to Jriuk spir;ti to excess. Mrs. Jeviitt, a relation of the lunatic, presented this petition, and prayed that she (night be appointed the temporary committee, and that the lunatic might be for Lhwith taken to York, and plated under the care of Dr. Routh, a medical prac titioner who had devoted his attention to mental diseases. The lunatic's property was stated to consist cf 7 0001. in Court, and an annual income of between SOO/. and 6001. Mr. Hem opposed the application on the pan of Miss Halliday, who, with her.sister. had assumed the care of the lunatic on the death cf their aunt. under whose protection she had been placed. The affidavits on tl.eir part stated, that the lunatic had had the me dical attendance of Dr. Murray and two other Gentle men, that her di ease was 'Mt of a• nutore to endanger her life. that her health was in other les, ects ex Tensely good, and they rapt-Jilted that the spirits complained of con-isted of some brandy and water which bad been given to the lunatic in Mrs. Jewitt's presence, and with t.er concurrence, lle contended that there was no neces sity for removing the lunatic, and at all events the Master's report ought first to be, had. Mr. Passions was heard on the same sic!e, and con tended that die affidavits of the persons now having , the care of the lunatic fully answered those on the other aide. The LORD CHANCELLOR said it appeared to he expe dient ft him to direct a medical may, in the neiglarner lio.,d of Scarborongl , in whom he could place row& riencc, to examine into the *tote of the lonatic's health.

JP OANKLIN V. Till BANK OS ENGLAND. Mr. ALDERSON stated this case to be one referred by the Lord Chancellor to be decided in this Conit. The question was, whether an rzecut.o t t a will, di wising 16,5001. to% specific devisee, could have the anvils% in funds transferred to his own name in the Bank ho• or whether at should be at once transferred to the name of the devisee ? The case arose f.oat the will of a per son named Bagley, whose executor, altrr proving his will, applied to have it transferred to his own name, but the Bank officers fel:heti to enter it in any name than that of tie deviate, and the esenlior filed a bill in Chancery ag.inst them. The case was subsequently decided in the Rolls Court by Lord GitTord. An ap peal was made to the Lord Chancellor, who refer led the case to this Court. The Learned Counsel argued the case at great length, and Mr. Sergeant BOSA WRIST was replying, when Lord Tip:NT/EDEN adjourned the case, being obliged to sit at Ahi Priers in Unildhill. COURT OF COM MON PLEAS, Wasennirres, Nov. le. (Suring. is Banco) JAMES PARKE, Esq. banister at law, was this morn• ing called to the degree of the coil, and haying gone through the usu i 1 forms, he proceeded to the Court of King's Bench in order OW the judici .1 seat vacant by the tesignation of Ali. Justice ilohojd. WATTS V. VUSFLI. This was an action upon a covenant in a lease, under which the plaintiff sought to limit the defendant in tak ing apprertires. • The case having been appointed for special argument, this morning can eon to be heard. but bribte it had been fully argue J, the Court suggested to the plaintiff the propriety of making an amendment in his declaration, ad there appealed to be some obscurity in the statement of the juiciest under which he claimed. Tuis suggestion was consented t , r, and t e case accord ingly stood over for the amendment. . Mr. Sergeant S m in the course of his argu- ment, cited a case which had been tried at York, in which the plaintiff sought to recover upon a contract of , a somewhat singular nature. It appeared that the ' plaint ff had paid down to the defendant 1(b1. upon condition that be r.liculd pay him a guinea a day so long as. Napoleon Sinai:lute should contkue to live.— The defendant, however, failed to fulfil the conditions of tie contract when the action was brought. The c ace subsequently came before the Coon, when the contract was held to be illegal upon two grounds—first, that it . tended on ti e WIC side to promote assassination—and, secondly, that on the other, it was ca'culated to create disloyalty in the sutiject. The ground upon which the Court had come to this conclusitri appeared to he, that in ca-e a/soapier had effected a landing in this count, y, the plaintiff, who had an ii.tertst in his life, would take no means to destroy him as an enemy ; and that the defendant, on the cr ovary, to whom his life was pre judicial, might be instigated Isom leconiary motives to assassinate bun. The Loan CUM? Juarecs—ln other word, the Court held that the cr , ntr ict ten led to in•tigate one man , to kill Napoleon in an unfair way, and that it pteversted another from killing him in a fair w4,—(A laugh).

F.XCHEQUEIt CHAMBER, NOVI3OIIII IL UDGalliN T—wrisotio O. DaNChill LLD. The Loon Cuter BACON :awe his judgment in this cause at the sitting of the Couit. The plaintiff, in his bill, stated that ss the Vicar of Aston Aibsonk, in Buck.iighamshire, It is entitled to the tithes of that V.carage, with the exception of those tithes upon corn and grain. The defendants are the occupiers of land called Bust:rJs, within that Vicarage, and the charges, that curing their occupation of it, they have neglec;ed to set oat or to account for the tithes of hay, attificial grass, soul, calves, lambs, foals, pigs, poultt y, egg , , was, honey, gar. den stuff, and fruit. The detendants,.in their an swer, admit that the plaintiff is the Vicar; that they rieenpy.the land called Bustards, containing aboat 700 acres; cnd that they hate possessed the Wags in ie- Teti of v hick tithes are claimed, but they set up a modus of 571 a year, pa) able at Michaelmas and Lady Day. In proof of this inodiv, the defendants adduced parole evidence, all going one way, and establishing payment of t' e 371. As tar, theiet ue, as this parole evidence could by relied on, it was sufficient fur its poi. pose. In or posit;on to this plea of customary payments, the plaintiff insists d that it mast have been of modem or Wit, as it was contradicted by the written testimoity the E•efesiastical Surety, tke Nut se holt% and the Minister'. ace. , mils; but as his Lordship intended that 'this very invoice, t q.wstion should befoie another 'tribunal w pr. judice, he shush, refrain him com menting at large upon the relative credit due tis thee documents. Titus much he would, however, say, that the No. z R lls did not r late to all the tithes; alt the end it due the Ecclesiastical Sat vey had often been doubted, and that the Nfinister's act ants ouly re Lied to the tithes vbich were vested io tit& Crewe, but not to rs.e siea isl emoluanentr. • lodged, the out, doubt which his Lordship could entertain on the subject arose from the apparent lowness of the mutts*. kis Lordship cited. several cases, in which Judges had tiought the lo,soess of the mo..his a sufficient ground for tileci.ling arsinst ir, or at all events for ,ending the rptestion to a Jury. In some instances, however, Jur 4 ges•coafireeed a modals av low as that set up in this cease, which amounted to about a shilling, or, 1 ethaps..4 liAle mote per acre. His Lordship was greatly embarrassed by the cautious manner in which the defendants set up the modus. They did nut rely on it as.applicable to I any specific tithes, leaving it to the plaintiff to sho4a that he was entitled to any, and what tidies. Thus, hesic'es relyirsg- on the modus, they put the Vicar to the procf as to the particular tithes bel.inging to him. For instance, the defrendai.ts say, that the mottos has always. been paid in sati-faction of the viol: ial tithes. without ccusiescencling to state any %%here what those pat ticulae tidies ate. The defendants took this safe and cautious cons se not without good advice; for if the Vicar had no euchiwrnent, he must fail in his claim. A Vicar can curl) .claim tithes by Froducing his endowment, or by giving such evidence as that the to , ms of the original endow ors. at can be inferred from it. In the present. instance, usage h.scl, in his L9rdship's opinion, confirmcd the en dowment; but to what extent, or with reference to what pat denier tines, be was not now called on to say. His 'I Lordship conAtitled, by directing an issue to try the' validity uf the modus set up in the answer of the defen dants. HIS LORDSHIP hoped that the parties would agree upon the terms of the issue, so t'ist it would embrace the entire question. INSoLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Nev. la.

Yesterday a man named Simn•ot was charged before the Lose MATOa, upon suspicion of having stolen a game .ben of very su. perior breed, and superior beauty too, for the complainant declared that she bad a gold neck, a tad like a pheasant's, a wing of peculiar brilliancy, a Bishop's mitre on her bead, and a pair of blue legs. The hen, it was stated, was treated with great tenderness and care, but being of a truant disposition, she Sew out 01 her place cf safety, and, of aU places in the world, she chose the tap-room of a public house in which to exhibit herself. The defendant happened to be one of the company. and the hen was very soon in his'pos. session. After having kept the bird for some time he disappeared, and when the owner of the hen went to look for her she wasp, where to be found. The bones of a fowl were, however, it was privately reported, found in the sieighbourbood ; but the legs were yellow, and it was suppened that as a lobster upon being boded' turned front black to red, so a bird's legs were as likely to change from blue to yellow upon undergoing the operation of excessive heat. The complainant set the highest value upon his bird, for he was convinced that there was not such another hen in the king. dom. nor itnleed'in the world—(A laugh). The Lotto MAeoe asked the complainant how much be bad given to the hen?—lie replied that he had given no more than gs. for her, hat be would not have sold her for Sl. She was a game one of the very hist breed, and would fight till she'd die—aye, or aitet wards—there Will no such Lird to be seen, cock or lien.

Voider these circumstances the Loan Maros thought It probable that if the hen was in existence, she was not in the custody et the defendant; and that if she had been unsigned to " the grave of living Best►," the defendant was not present at the obsequies. A verdict to the effect of " Not Guilty" was then pronounced, at which the accmed seemed to have been as much pleased as If aoutber'same Lieu had taken a fancy to him. GUILDHALL. WA Harnett, janitor, appeared on behalf of his father, a coal !awrehaszt at drakes, Wll3O, Thames-street, upon ao inforniation for nos deliveries a Ileter's ticket with a waggon load of coals sent by bun to a co•thmet at Iktboal green.

The James a barge, had arrived there with SI chaldrons of coati; and on the evening Defuse be saw the defendant's men prepare to load a waggon ; he desired them to use the bushel measure, which they did in filling seven or eight sacks; but after that, by desire of the defendant, they pro ' ceeded to All away without measuring. He refused to sago earl kirter's ticket, but the coals were nevertheless driven away, and he saw them delivered in Bethnal-green. Mr. Haynie-lit said, that when their lighterman was sent down I with the barge for coals, he was to bring only twenty-five chid. drove; but finding he csukl bring awniwr five chaideons, which ' would clear the ship, and entitle him to a fee of 3s. for enabling' ' the vessel to team the l'uol a day earlier, be bad thine five chaldruas distributed over the five rooms of the barge.

The City Solicitor gave Mr. flay:tient credit for the honesty of Ms intentions, bet he had been guilty of an irregularity which mum he climbed, fur she same irregularity would afford a dishonest dealer I the means of cheating the public. The coals had been delivered to the :barge in bulk. and without a certificate of the precise eon.l tents of each room, roth the bead tothe stern.
