COURT' OF CHANCERY, NOVEMBER xB. DRURY-LANE THEATRE. This day came on the further hearing relative to the above concern. The SOLICITOR GENERAL laid, the Parties had not yet come to any agreement, having only cons inimicated upon the fubjeft lag night. He there fore wi(hed for a further delay of a few days. The LORD CgANCELLOR laid, he had coufidcred the fubjeft with much attention, hut he thought that the Parties, by agreement with each other, could do the bell juflice for themfelves. Mr. SHERIDAN, addreffing the LORD CHANCEL LOR Paid, he was very Cure the bufinefs could not be fettled without the interference of his Lard (hip, as there appeared to be no authority under which the Parties could ad. He had received a letter, he faid,from Mr. Hammer(ley, Rating that he was ready to agree to any fair propolition made by him (Mr. Sheridan), and on the preceding evening he had received a communication horn Mr. Ford, containing a propofal; he therefore did not know how to aft amid& this difagreement in the conduft of the Truftees. The Loan CHANCELLOR Paid, Mr. Ford and Mr. Hammerfley might join in any propofal, &Neel to the approbation of the Court. Mr. MANSFIELD laid, that Mr. Hammel-11,7 was perfedly ready to come to any agreement with the other Parties. Mr. SHERIDAN raid, he did not mean to throw any imputation upon Mr. Hammerfley ; he had merely Rated a fad, but he thought the Theatre could not go on without the interference of his Lordfhip. He WAS of courfe much better acquaint ed with the concerns of the Theatre, and air able to give information relative to it, than the Counfel. Mr. MANSFIELD had on a former day made ufe of the expreflion," If the Proprietors did not mean to cheat their Creditors,—" he wifhed, for the purpofe of anfwering this infinuation, to lay all the information which he Welled upon the &Ned, before his Lordfhip, that it might be feen by what means the Theatre had come into its pre fent fituation. He wifhed to give his Lordfhip all that information upon the fubjeet which had hi therto only come before the Court in (craps and Ikea, and in a very disjointed and mutilated con dition. This was his only motive for troubling the Court : at the fame time, one Truftee having cal led upon him for a Propofal, and the other hav ing made a Propofal, he was at a lots how to Rel. - Mr. MANSFIELD &id, if he knew any thing of the rule of Proceedings in that Court, it was that all Information fhould come before the Court by Affidavit, and not by afrertion. The merits of this Cafe had been already difcuffed, but if any perfon could Rate any new information, let him Rate it by Affidavit and not by affertion. He had in that cafe no objeetion to delay. With refpeet to the infinuation which he was charged by Mr. Sheridan with having ufed, he was bound to Rate what was given to Kim by his Clients ; he had fpoken according to their inaruSions, and not from himfelf. ...... Mr. SHIMODA), laid, that he did not fuppofe the Learned gentleman meant perfonally to throw any imputation upon him. The Learned Genii:- man had (aid, that whatever information was Rat ed Ihould be given upon Affidavit ; he bad made an Affidavit, againa which nothing but affertions were made on the other fide, which affections were, be laid, ab(olute fallehoods. Mr. Marisvir LD (aid, he hoped thole affertions, which he bad been inftrufted to make, were un true. The Loan Ctrawcassoa Paid, the Court tonic' a& only on the grounds which were legally before it : he couldonly found his judgment upon fuch in- , formation as was contained in the Affidavits of the I Parties. He had before Rated, that this queßion was merely between Mr. Sheridan and the Bankers, and, he thought, Mr. Sheridan was bound by the orders of the Court, to which he had contented. — It was for the confideration of the Court, how far, upon the whole equitable grounds of the cafe, the Parties were to be releafed from the die& of thole Orders. If any of the Parties wither! to be heard, I he would very patiently hear them ; but he could only decide according to what appeared upon the Records of the Court. He had no mode of with. 1 1 holding the judgment of the Court, unlefs the Par ties brought bbeeffoore him other matters, upon which he could regularly decide. If any perfon could make a Motion which fhould affett the merits of the cafe, or if any new view of the [(Mk& could be taken and argued upon, he had no objeftion to re.hear the arguments on both (ides. Mr. MMISTI fJD (aid, his Clients were perfettly Wilfred without any re-hearing. The LORD CMAPCILLOR Cad, Mr. Ford and Mr. Sheridan might make an arrangement fatisfa&ory to all parties, to which Mr. Ha mm y might content; the whole, of cootie, to be fubjeet to the approbation of the Court. lassmase (aid, if a peoporal was made to Mr. which lu adopted, it would be fame tling as if Mr. Ilammealty 1.4,1 ni.sl4 one Mr. SHER/DAN raid, his objection -.vas, that nei ther Mr. Ford nor Mr. Hammerfley were autho- rized to make any propofal. Lora CHANCELLOR fait!, he did not mean that either one fide or the other filmic) frecitically make any propofal, but that the Patties fhould meet, and then come to an agreement, and tub mit it to his approbation. If what was thus agreed upon, appeared to him equitable and proper, he would approve of it ; but if it appeared to him to be incontinent with that jullice which was due to all the parties who were in any manner interened in the concerns of the Theatre, he would certainly net approve of it, although it might be perieftly fttisfactory to the actually making fuch agreement. Mr. SHERIDAN rote again to addrcfs the Court. The Loan CHANCELLOR faid, he thought this converfation was endlefs . , and anfwer c d no p ur p o f e . Mr. SHERID AN faid, his Lordfhip had obferved, that a new view might he taken of the lubjett : he only wifhed to give his Lordthip tome informa tion relative to the concern which was now impli cated in the Proceedings of the court. The Lotto CHANCELLOR faid, it was impoffible to have all the Parties intertfted in this concern before the Court. The Court mull either give up its jurifdiflion altogether in this cafe, or do juflice to all the Parties interefled, whether they were be fore the Court or not. Mr. SHERIMN raid, he was fure his Lotd (hip, in that view of the fubjcd, would with for every information that could be obtained relative to the fubjr~R. The Loan CuAncettoit raid, if the Parties be fore the Court would put their Propofals upon pa per, and fubmit them to him, he would fay how far he could confent to them, confidently with the intereds of all the Parties interelled. Mr. Pacer laid, that Mr. Sheridan had, in !!rift conformity with the Orders of the Court, fent the whole of the Pit money to the (hop of Mr. Ham medley, which could not fail to involve the Thea tre in extreme difficulty, and might render it nearly impotale fer it to go on : he had, therefore, ven tured to tell Mr. Sheridan that he need not fend to Mr. Hammerfley any more than the 451. appro priated for the r2yment of the Renters. The SOLICITOR GSNIRAL Paid, he could not help hoping that Mr. Sheridan would take a day or two to confider thefe propofals, though there could be no doubt that Mr. Sheridan felt an ex treme inconvenience from the operation of the Orders of the Court. The LORD CHANCELLOR raid, he witbed that the Parties could meet and endeavour to come to fome agreement upon the fubjeft. If they agreed, he would then fee how far he could confent to that agreement. If they difagreed, he mutt then de cide, as well as he could, for the benefit of all par ties interelled. If, however, they could not agree, he had no objection to their handing their feparate Propoiils to him. It was then agrecdovith the confent of the LORD CHANCELLOR, to pollpone the turther confideration of the fubjed till Tucfday. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, NOV. iB. This morning an affair came on highl. .inpor tant to the parties, whore names are Newman, ChMlie,. Brittle, Finlay, and Hill, moll of tnem Attornies. It will be finind not uninterelling to the public, but as Lord Kim VON was obliged to fit at PIO Prisu at twelve ' after Mr. EILSKIN a and Mr. GARROW bad been heard on one fide, fur ther proceedings were adjourned till to-morrow. To enter into the cireumitances at prefect would therefore be premature. A writ of Habeas Corpus was ordered to the keeper of the gaol of Warwick, defiling him to produce the body of Thomas Gills. The affida vit on which the rule was founded Rated, that Gills had been committed by the Comrniffioners of Bankrupt for the following reafon : The ac count of his affairs being confided, the Commit . - fioners allied him if he would give a trore correa account ? m which queftion he would return no other anfwer, than that be mold ea. The Learned Counfel contended, that this was not a fuEcient ground of commitment. A writ of Mearlannts was moved for to the Moll Noble the Duke of Leeds,' calling upon hini, as ' Lord of the Manor of Wakefield, to admit the Right Hon. Thomas Conolly to certain copvhold etLates within the laid manor, which have defeend , ed upon him from his g randfather , the Earl of Stafford. When Lord Emma had afcertained that the tide was not in difpute, but only fome thing about the fines, he granted a rule to thew The Court heard forme Cafes argued that came from Seffions, none of which were in the leall de gree interefting to the Public. One was upon a de feftive fiatement of a County in which a Peri% was Rated to be, the Order of Seffions having a reference to two Parifhes, one in the County of Wilts, the other in the County of Dorfet ; the Or der Rating in a part of it, si in the Paid County," inflead of - hating the "(aid County of Wilts." Lord Kserom took oecafton to obferve (and we Rate the faft for the fake of the Commentary), that a eonfiderable time ago, a Statute was paffed to empower Juftices at the Sellions, to alter Orders after they were made, that is, to alter Orders as far as it related to 'saner of farm r but, however, it was, fume how or other, loon afterwards difco vered that every thing was =miter oftableau, fo that this Statute had, from the hour of pairing it to the prefent, been a pettedly dead letter, for he verily believed, that Aft of Parliament was never made to apply to a tingle cafe. Lord Ksavoo afterwards tried a good many eaufes, but they were chiefly undefended ; and the& only worthy of being mentioned were GIBBONS O. lIIMISON. Mr. Ease ■a Ilated this aflion to be brought'againft the Defendant for board and lodging furnithed to -Mrs. Mafon, his wife. The Gentlemen of the Jury knew, that if a man refilled to allow his wife to live with him, he was obliged, bi he tte liw of Eng land, to rapport her elfcwhere. could be no ; duabt, therefore, as to the Defendant's liabilit • ," l,i. wire bad found an ary! , :ni under the ro•.f • the Plaintiff The cafe Wit% as thong with 1.:• Bard to the fads as to the law. It would ',spear that Mrs. 'Nfafon, driven floor her hufbant s hoof( in the moil barbarotis manner, had beets treated by the Plaintiff with the greatest tendernefs and attention. The Defendant had been a (errant to his wife's father, and had found means to prevail upon his mailer's daughter to marry him. After , the indignation of the relations had lubfided, he was taken in, neverthelefs,' inte.a (hare of the bufinefs. This woman, however, who had facrificed to much for him, received the molt ungrateful return. Her ufagc was fo cruel that the was obliged to fly for fafety, and to take lodgings in the town of Wind fcr. For Tome time the sr as allowed s as. a week. but this Turn in fuch bad times being unable to fupport her, the got confiderably in debt. She ex peded that her hutband would extricate her from her difficulties, but inftead of that he reduced her allowance to Bs. a week, and loon after cut it off altogether. She now made overtures of reconcili ation, when the Defendant laid, that rather than live under the fame roof with her for a tingle week, he would fuller himfelf to be hanged on the high eft tree in Windfor Foreft. Mr. Erfkine faid, he fhould be extremely lorry to fee any one of there venerable oaks, which have fo long (haded our an ceflors, and been the companions of Kings from the carnet ages, disfigured by the carcafe of this unnatural hufband. Nor did he fee why Mr. Mafon fhould think of giving himfelf the trouble to mount an oak, when fo much more convenient pieces of timber were provided for rnalefadors at the public expence. Mr. Ease: at was going to call witneffes to prove his cafe, when it was propolcd by the other fide to refer the whole to Mr. Lowton. This propofition was readily agreed to, and Mr. L. is to take care that Mrs. Mafon has ficurkr for the future, as well as indaseaity for she pa). .ete his aii rh(rt tt:, y e heri Aii: PalNce s whi:h reg: e .. at 2.1,21 ( Pa:•! v.a.

This was an Atli= upon a Bill of Exchange, dated the aoth of December, ittoo, payable three months after fight, for aso guineas, drawn by IL Slade, and accepted by the Defendant. The Defence was, that this Bill was negotiated or difcounted by the Defendant, with Mr. Slade, who was a dealer in piftures ; but who had be come Bankrupt; that the Defendant took, upon filch difcotmting, ufurious interea ; that is, he had taken inter& for the Bill for 12 months, whereas the Bill had only three months to run, which was four times as much as he was entitled to by Law. Mr. Slade was called, and he proved this to be the fa&. It was contended on the part of the Plaintiff. that this Witnefs was not worthy of credit in this cafe; but Lord KrN vox NI, the objeetion to the Wit. nefs confiffing of a Ipeech only, was not to hare much weir-lit—Chriltian Charity entitled a Wit nefs to . ;edit while he gave his evidence in a Court of Juflice decently and pr.-perly, unlefs what he fwore was encountered by fome other evidence.

It appeared by the evidence of a Broker, that 1 this agreement was entered into between the par ties, reduced to writing, and duly damped; but which he had 101 l : he had, however, taken a copy of it, which be produced. He laid, that at the tittle the agreement was entered into, the Plaintiff and the Defendant had Come converfaion about the quantity °Cheer fuld and liquor confumed, and that the Plaintiff offered to thew him his books to fee the amount of his trade, but the Defendant bid he would not look at them at all, that he did not want to look at them.
