The plaintiff is an infant, and the defendant an attorney, whet became Connected with the family of the Aliens in Wales. According to the statement of the plaintiff's Counsel, Mr. Hart, the plaintiff's uncle, was a man possessed of considerable landed estates, but of very weak understanding, and even those intellects which he did possess, were wholly lost by intoxication. This person executed a will, as it was alleged, at the defendant's instigation, in which Mr. Gwynne was left devisee of the property, and residuary legatee, thus becoming posr.essed of the whole property, with the exception of a few annuities of 201. a year to the wife, and 101. a•year to each of the sisters. These latter annuities, however, were set aside by a subse quent codicil. The defendant entered into the posses sion of the estates even before the death of the testator, and handed over the rents to him. The Mater of the Rolls had directed an action of ejectment to be brought at law, to try the question, and that decision was now appealed from. A variety of very long interrogatories and documents were read, and occupied the greater part ofthe time. of the Court. The further bearing war postponed, when the Court rose at four o'clock.

L4W REPORT. COURT OF CHANCERY, JULY to. LLEPHANT AND CASTLE CHARITY. Mr. Branca was beard in objection to the Conies interfering in this nastier. His lan RDSHIP said, he had often wished to decide this matter saisfactorily to all the parish, which cer tainly had bt en much resisted. He would now say, having a very great certainty in his mind that he had jurisdiction, he would give the defendants till this day week toconsider r<hether they would lay a plan before 1 ' the Court, for the future management of the Charity ? If they did this, the Court would do its utmost in dis posing of the matter in a %ay the best calculated to allay the angry feelings of the parish of Newington ; that is, if the Court had jui isdiction to act ; if it had not, the* there would be an end to the whole. But if It had, some things should be prevented (torn occurring again, which had been most detrimental and expensive to tbe Clarity. ALLEN V. GWYNN& _ _ The arguments of Counsel in this case occupied the RICH V. THE GAS LIGHT ANDCOICE COMPANY. The Vsce-Cluorcaccea delivered his judgment in this cause, which has been for some time before the Court. •It was a bill filed by Sir G. Rich, to compel the defendants to make good certain -shares which be had directed their Secretary and Treasurer, a Mr. Ped der, to purchase for him, but which Pedder had ne glected to do, although the plaintiff had transmitted to him the necessary sums for that purpose. The defen dants Weaded, that throughout the whole of the trans action Pedder had acted as the confidential agent of the plaintiff, and not as their Officer, and that therefore they ought not to be considered responsible for his acts. In delivering his judgment, his HONOUR said, that the only question WAS, whether Pedder in this transac-, tion was to be considered as having acted as the confi dential agent of the plaintiff or as the Company's Offi cer ? He had carefully read over the correspondence and documents which had been laid before him, and it appeared to him that Pedder had acted in the former capacity. He should therefore dismiss the bill; but under the peculiar circumstances of the case he should not give costs. The bill was accordingly dismissed without costs. SUMMER ASSIZES. OXFORD. LATI:t v. BATSON. Mr. TAUNTON stated this was an action of trespass against the late Sheriff of Oxfordshire, but substan tially against Mr. Neat, who thought proper to cause an execution to be levied on property in Blenheim House, which property the plaintiff was in possession of, by virtue of u previous execution. The short facts of the cue were these. There were, as was now no torious, a great number of claimants on the Marlbo rough property. It happened that amongst others, there was a respectable creditor of the name of Rich ardson, an attorney in Golden-square, London., who obtained judgment for a sum of 30701. against the per sonal effects of the Duke in Jandary, 1824. A writ of fierifacias was thereupon issued, and the Sheriff pro. ceeded to levy the above sum on the goods of the Duke of Marlborough. However, instead of a public sale, two bills of sale were executed. The effects included in the sale were principally the farming . stock, the household furniture, the stock of wines and lastly, bet certainly not least in point of vsilue, the Duke's singu lar collection of exotic plants, the rarest that were to be found in Europe, which his Grace possessed a taste for beyond any man living, ani in the cultivation of' which he had himself assiduously Laboured. Part of the goods were assigned by Mr. Richardson to the pre sent plaintiff for 7001. ultimately the w ines (which were sold for 3/. a dozen), the paintings and the exotic plants valued at 700/. The effects had been kr part removed before the transfer, to the house of a mail named Tap lin, at Woodstock. After the transfer, .Mr. Latimer, the plaintiff, was understood in the neighbourhood to be in possession, and held the keys of the moths where the property lay. However the virtual defendant (Mr. Neat) imagining that the possession by Mr. Latimer was only a collusion between him and the Duke, thought fit to enter the premises of the Duke c.f Mail bor and levy an execution on the property which had been already appropriated under a former exec utims. Evidence of the entry and forcible seizure at the suit of Neat, having been given. Mr. JERVIS addressed the Jury on behalf of the de fendant. His object was to shew the Jury that the pro ceedings of Richardson and Latimer were collusive ars' fraudulent, and had for their end to afford an imprr - per protection to the Duke of Marlborough front the claims of an honest bona fide creditor. The Jury, after having been ably charged by Mr. Baron Gas maw, consulted for au hour, and returned a verdict for the plaintiff. with damages, to be subsequently estimated. CHELMSFORD, JULY 19. Walter Nunn was indicted for stealing, at Epping, on the 14th April, a bay mare, the property of the Right Hon. Frederick William. Earl of Bristol. It appeared that the prisoner had formerly been a labourer in the employment of the Earl of Bristol. In the night of the 14th April, the mare in question was stolen from a yard belonging to his Lordship's house, near Bury St. Edmund's. Next morning the animal was found in the prisoner's possession, at Ep ping, completely knocked up from fatigue, having travelled 58 miles. The prisoner's appearance, and the jaded state of the animal, excited the suspicion of the hostler at Epping-place Inn, and, upon being questioned, the prisoner gave so unsatisfactory an ac count of himself that he was detained. - Amongst the circumstances of suspicion against the prisoner were, that he gave a false name, and represented that he had purchased the mare at the Bull Inn, at Barton Mills, which assertion turned out to be false. No answer being given to these facts, the Jury, under the Learned Judge's directions, Sound the prisoner Guilty. T. Sinonands, who had been confined since last Sum- I PRICE SEViiii PEkCE. mer Assizes, by ill •health, was also tried on a chargé of stealing a horse, the property of a farmer in Norfolk named Gunton: The case arts clearly brought home to the prisoner; and he was found Gitiks. • • • • WORCESTER, JULY 19. ilasebn or PROMISIC OF MARILIAGio HAYWARD W. PITT, ZSCI. As soon as this case wa s ca ll e d 01, - Mr. iodize rose and stated; that he was most ham' to Inform Mein that the defendant bad, on this occasion, shewn himself a man of honour, and had consented that a verdict should pass against him for 10004 it being also agreed di it a matriage should be had between the partici within a month. The Learited BA nth; hoped that be might, without detracting from the dignity of the station that he bad the honour of filling, express his entire approbation of the way in which the case bad terminated. He Cone sidered that it did credit to both patties ; and it would give him great pleasure, on some future Circuit, to be informed that the union had taken place, and that the parties were living happily together. BIORSE-STRALING BY 1/01116N. Fanny Dalton, aged 50, and Elizabeth Dalton, he? daughter, aged 20, were indicted for stealing a hors*, value 10/. the property of James Smith. The younger prisoner was a very interesting looting girl. James Smith said—l am a shoemaker at renburyi and keep a pony; on the II th of June I saw my pony safe ; that was at about six o'clock ; the pony was then on a common; it was a dark pony, with a white spot on the left ear ; I missed it the following morning, and sent to Bromyard in pursuit, and I met Reuel Davis, and proceeded to Mathetn and to Malvern, where I found my pony; I have known the elder prisoner about 25 years; the prisoners live anywhere; they travel about, but follow no business; they beg. Parnell Davis maid—l live at Tburnbury, and saw the two pri soners the day after the hone was lost, at about four o'clock in the morning; I had seen them travelling about before; they had with them a dark brown pony; the daughter was riding on it. Joseph Jones, a constable, said—l received some in- formation from the prosecutor, and found the elder pri soner at Severnstoke ; I asked what she had done with the pony? She said she had sold it to a man on. the side of Malvern-hill, for 4/. She took me to her daughter, ho was at Upton ; I asked the daughter where the pony was? and she said it bad been sold to Robert Smith, and after that the elder prisoner pointed it out to me in an orchard ; I then took the two women and the pony to the Unicorn Inn, at Malvern, where the pro secutor owned the pony. Robert Smith said—l know the prisoners; I .aw them on the 15th of June with the pony ; I asked them to sell it? and the elder one said her daughter sliculd sell it, and the daughter said the price was 41. I wanted her to take less, but she said they would not take less thin they gave for it, and I gave them the 44. Examined by the Learned Juusts—l had not a very good bargain. I would not have given mare for it,though is might have been wend £lO. did not thiplx they stole it; they have had horses before. The elder prisoner said nothing in her defence. The younger one said, tin her mother kft bee for some hours, and came back with the pony. Mr. Justice &Leona's summed up the evidence. Verdict—Gadfly. Judgment of death was recorded against them. The prisoners had been tried about a year ago, for stealing a colt. MANSLAUGHTZR. • Martha Francis was in.iicted for feloniously killing and slaying her husband, John Francis, on the 7th of May, in the parish of Trowbridge. The parties, it ap peared, lived in the neighbourhood of Trowbridge, about which they wet, in tbrhabit of-hawking trifling articles for sale. On the evening of Saturday, May 7th, they went into several public-houses in Trowbridge. The man was observed to be intoxicated, and the woman was heard to abuse him, chiefly on account of his fa miliarity with other women, in the most violent and disgusting terms. From words the transition to tdows was almost immediate. She knocked the %idyl mate man down repeatedly, and when he was on the ground, kicked him violently in the temples. She at I.qgth went away, leaving the deceased to get home as he could. On the following morning he was found lying speechless in the yard of a public-hothe, and died im mediately after. A surgeon described the injurieaphich the deceased had received. His kall was fractured, and there was a great quantity of extravasated blood on the brain. These were tha causes of deceased's death. The prisoner, in her defence, said, that when she left her husband, nothing had happened to him which could have occasioned his death. She btlieved, and many persons had told her, that her husband came by his death in consequence of his having been suff.red to roll about the streets all night, in a state of intoxication. The falls he got were the cause of his death. She pro. tested that she bad merely struck her husband with her open hand, and threw herself on the mercy of the Court. The Jury found her Gsilis, and she was sentenced to two months Imprisonment. ?MS RIGHTING. Thomas Billhugham, a shoemaker, George Savage, a weaver, and William Slimmer, a sawyer, were in. eicted for a riot on the 4th of Jaly inst. in the parish of Hagley. Mr. RTAN conducted the prosecution, which was instituted by Daniel Rogers, Esq. one of the Magis trates of the Count/. It appeared that the defendants, Billinghans and Savage proposed to fight a regular pitched battle, on the 4th of July last, on Penmote Common. This intention came to the knowledge of Mr. Biggs, a Magistrate of the district, who gave them notice, that if they persisted, he should take measures 10 prevent the breach of the peace which they contem islated. Notwithstanding this warning, the men re fused to abandon their design, but changet the scene of notion to a marsh in the parish of Hagley. To this place Mr. Angers repaired, and finding the combatants snipped, a ring prepared, and a large mob of idle spectators, he forbad the proceeding, and ordered the people to disperse. They refused, however, and at. tempted in a tumultuous manner to accomplish their purpose, when Mr. Rogers observing Skinner taking an active part in the affray, seized him. Skinner me sisted and succeeded in escaping; on which a load shout of triumph proceeded from the crowd, who in diinsp his disputed charge thatall io these the fights Jury in sulted the Magistrate, and continued riot o u s ly i ns i st i ng on the right to fight till dispersed by the consta bl es. saiMd,rthJantstiit cou ld no Justice uaiwut .
