I' i! if, • LAW REPORT. COURT OF CHANCERY, JUNE EL DR. ABERNETHY V. THE LANCET. The LORD CHANCELLOR having stated on Friday. that he would this day issue the Injunction to the full effect, relative to all past, as well as future Lecture., unless anything occurred to alter his mind, and in which case he would mention it on coming into Court, the Solicitors of the parties were in attendance. His Lordship. on taking his seat, did not express anything farther than that he saw no reason to alter his Judg ment, and the Registrar was accordingly instructed to draw out the order of Injunction to the f"ll effect, hich was done, and handed over to the parties. STRATHHCRE v. STRATHMORE. On a former day Couns 1 were in part heard upon this case, which is one involving some questions of much legal nicety. The matter in dispute between the parties relates to the right of presentation to a living, the plain tiff, who is heir at law of the late Earl of Strathmore, contending, that the advowson is in him ; and the de tindant that it is in the hands of certain trustees ap pointed by will. The bill originally filed was for dis covery and relief. The prayer for a discovery related to a bond of resignation entered into by the Clerk who had been presented; and the relief prayed that the Clerk so presented and inducted might be dismissed, and the living declared vacant. To this bill a demurrer had been put in, and upon this question the argument arose. Mr. Wu. BoounnAm spoke at very considerable length in sup port of the WU, and Meson. Homes, Pam, for the densurrer. The LORD CHANCELLOR observed Upon the import ance ti this question, as affecting the rights of the Church, and alluded to the case lately argued in the House of Lords, in which the validity of bonds of resig. nation was cons idered. Upon this question the Judges had not yet delivered their opinion, and he could not hope for it until next-Session, as further time had been required for deliberation upon the point. There could be no doubt, his Lordship observed, that up to the time of the great case of the Bishop of London v. Ffytche, ge. natal bonds of resignation were considered as legal, and both in the text writers and the early reports the same doctrine was laid down. The books he had referred to also contained expressions intimating that if a general bond of resignation were valid, a particular bond would also be legal. But in the c.- eof the Bishop of London Ffytche, it was determined by the House of Lords that a general bond of resignation was sirneniacal and illegal. 'A distinction had, however, since been taken between particular and general bonds of resignation, the former being considered to be legal. How tar the same principle was to be applied to this case, was a point of much doubt and difficulty. He complimented Mr. Brougham upon the able manner in which be had ar gued the question, and intimated that he would endea vour to give judgment in the course of next week. JONES Ot DONIIGAL. Mr. PEPYS said it was necessary to call the attention of his Lordship to this case, in which a point of practice had arisen of somewhat a novel nature. There ha 4 been a decree in the cause, and a reference to the Master to take an account of the debts, with a view to their being discharged out of the assets. The bill had been filed by a c editor on behalf of himself and the other creditors, and pending the inquiry in the Master's office, a creditor who was no party to the • cause, had applied to prove his debt. . For this purpose it was necessary for him to examine a witness to prove the debt, as he had lost the security, which was the written evidence of it ; but not having been a party to the suit, he was unable to obtain the process of subpmna to enforce the attend ance of the witness, and if his -Lordship had not power to trent him the benefit of a subptena he - sroold be ab solutely without a remedy. The LORD CHANCELLOR observed, that no instance had occurred similar to the present ; but he thought, if there was a decree for the administration of assets, and a bond creditor had lost his bond, and could not pi ove . it - without a witness, who would not attend, it would be: bardif he was nor allowed some means of proving it without the witness. - Nothing could be mote diffi - colt in a case of this kind, than tq make, a witness attend to be examined who relused to attend. He did not know .Iwhether the - Court had power to commit .a person on refusing to be examined. It, however, appeared to 'him, as the Bill was filed on tailf of the creditors gene- rally, the creditor in this instance, though not a party to the suit originally, wasipitsi a party ; and, upon this view of the matter, he was inclined to grant the order 26 prayed. .CQUET OF KING'S BENCH, JUNE at. TRI - ILING V. STEWART. In this case Mr. Jzasrfs moved the Judgment of the Court, upon the defendant. He was a man of colour, and bad been convicted of committing an assault upon another person of the same cosiplezi..n, who was a fel• low•servant with him in the house of a Mrs. Stour, in Oxfordshire. The prosecutor not cleaning some knives, about which he was busied, in the manner approved by the defendant, be thought proper to strike him. On doirig this lie was cut by one of tilt knives. He then locked the lid up in a loom in a distant part of the house, and there lest him till ti . ,e morning. Mr. Taramm addressed the Court in aggravation. -Mr. Justice &mom having rimarked on the very gnat impropriety of the defendant in thus striking the prosecutor, told him that the laws were made to protect persons of every country, and every. colour. However, as he bad thought the conduct.Oftheprosecutorjustified . him, a.lenieat sentence would be passed. The judgmaat of the Court was, that heabould pay a-fine of twenty' shillings to the King, and beitspiisoned in the custody of the Marshal of theidinhalsea of the Court, till that, due should be paid.

Nothing of public interest occurred, excepting the case of ALLAN AND LOLLNY AGAINST TINS AND ISOM A testamentary cause involving considerable property,' and which the Judge yesterday, in an elaborate and definitive sentence, decided in favour of the defendants, (executrix and ex tutor named'in the last w:11, with two codicils, of Samuel.

The demand for wheat at Odessa is said to be very considerable; at the latter end of April, 20,000 Chete verts were sold. Wool also meets a ready sale. Dtstruaamscs AT Barsoros.--Wednesday and Fr iday two troops of the Bth Hussars marched into Bristol. As soon as the first detachment arrived, the'fown Crier was sent round to give the publicans notice that they were not to trust them above one day's pay. In the evening a serious affray took place between them and some of the inhabitants, at the Cross Keys Inn. The soldiers made free with their swords ;. several persons were wounded ; two of the troop were committed to the watch-house; in the morning their Officers ordered them to make compensation to the persons they had in jured; and, by way of punishment, made them march to Andover on foot. There is now living at Little Bedwin, Wilts, a woman named Elizabeth Sopp, who, on the 2d of this month, attained her hundredth year 1 For the last sixty years she has been in the parish books; and it is calculated that the money she has received, with the interest and compound interest, amounts to more than 5001. She has been able to read the Church Service within the last year, and her memory is not in the least impaired. Her present allowance from the parish is 12s. per month ; and the Rev. Mr. Newton (the late Vicar) allows her 4s. per month. BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION FOR DELIVERING POOR MARRIED WOMEN AT THEIR OWN HABITATIONS.— The Anniversary Festival of this excellent Charity was celebrated yesterday evening at the Freemasons' Tavern, his Royal Highness the Duke of &magic- in the Ch.sir, supported by Sir F. BAERR, Bart. Sir RICHARD BIRNIE, M. A. TAYLOR, Esq. M.P. J. G. ARNOLD, Esq. Captain SUADWRLL, and other persons of distinction. The S cretary's Report was read, and- presented a flattering account of the Institution, which has, since its com mencement in 1780, relieved 80,000 poor married we. men at their own habitations; and that . during the past year 2,000 had received assistance from the Society. The late speculation is cotton wool has ended sooner than was anticipated by those who expected to make Immense•fortunes, without labour, in a short time. Litt week, in Liverpool, United States' cotton was lower by Bd. a lb. than the week preceding, and Egyptian and South American was lower by 4d. a lb. in the same space of time. Last week a person from Ireland was ,detected set. tering some forged notes en the Ayr Bank of Messrs. [imitate and Co. in the neighbourhood of the village l of Straiton ; and on Friday lastsuch information reached she Sheriff Substitute as induced him to send the Chief Constable and a well-selected party to Belfast, who, through the assistance of the Sovereign of that City, by whom they were headed, succeeded, about five o'clock on Tuesday morning, in securing two prominent opt rators, in the very act of making the notes, and having above a hundred before them in various stages of pr eparation.--4, Advertiser, June 16. A decree, comprising a great number of articles, was published on the Bth of this month at Milan, awarding the punish ment of death to any' one - whO should be found guilty of being a spy -upon the strength, state of the army, the dispositions, plans, tied movements of the troops, the state of a .fortress or fortification, of provisions of depots or magazioes, site. with the intention of com municating them to the enemy in any manner whatever. will be considered *as a spy who, even in time of peace, shall enter into any of the above named investigations, .in order to transmit the result to aroreiga , Power. Every account from Spain spews the deplorable con dition of that wretched country. A letter from Madrid of recent date, says— ,. Theilag is in a state of terror at the progress and audacity of amp, (an ex-Officir of the Constitutional Army — very wealthy), who still scours the country near Arenjuis, slid' defies even the bodyguard of the King; but the thief WM of terror is; in.Odicer of Cavalry, who has sworn to avenge the murder of nine of the bend which be had formed. -These men were etecuted here the other day, and died calling upon their captain to punish their mur derers. A detachment of the Lancers of the Royal Guard were sent out against the band two days ago, but-they were shamefully defeated, and two of them fell by the sword of the Captain, who.* head bas since had a price set upon it. A larger body of troops was ordered out, but they refused to , march, unless they received their arrears of pay. This is now the tone of all, and Ferdinand' threatens to raise money by alerted loan of sixty millions of reds •upss the merchants of Madrid and Cadiz. The greatest misery wades the (vestry, and the fever is appearing in maw places. Yea Andal usia the people are starving, corn being beyond their means of purchase. Fifty miles from the province it is only at ooe fourth of its price in Andalusia; but as cite out of ten of the conveys fall into the headset the Constitutionalists, little can be obtained." From the Sydney Gazettes last received, it would appear that the establishment of the Australian Company in Loa. don had given an additional impulse to the improvements going forward in New Holland, and the Agent of the Company had given notice that he would purchase all the native products—wheat, wool, timber, fax, hemp, &c. - The Agrieultorai Company of the Colony were aedve in introducing new productions; roots from England, and seeds and plants ROM the Isle of France, and the prices for wool, had excited great emulation.

After the cloth-was removed, the follow ing toasts were ;imposed by the Chairman, and re ceived with the most cordial marks of approbation •• The King ; and may he never forget his own declaration—that the Crown is held in trust for - the b ene fi t of the. p eopk." " The People, the only source of legitimate power." " A full, fair, and free representation of the people in Parliament." " A free pless—the best security for the maintenance of public rights." " Purity of trial by Jury ; and thanks to Mr. Secretary Peel for his excellent Bill for the improvement of that inestimable in stitution." Mr. WZATIMSTONE, in proposing the health of the Chairman, took occasion to remind the Electors, that before they would meet there again it was probable that Parliament would be dissolved, and they would there. fore be called on to exercise the most important privi lege of Englishmen--namely, the election of Repre sentatives in Parliament. He then expatiated on the merits of Sir Robert Wilson, who had redeemed every pledge which he gave them in 1818, and who had, therefore, proved himself worthy of their future sup port—(Loud applause). —He also dwelt upon the bril liancy of Sir Robert's military services, and congratu lated the Meeting upon the prospect of his being restored to his rank in that profession, of which it was admitted on all hands he was so bright an ornament, and his removal from which was universally deemed a severe hardship. But as all parties seemed disposed to bury the past in oblivion, he thought they could not do better than follow the example. He concluded by pro posing the health of their faithful, honest, and gallant Representative, Sir R. Wilson. The toast was received with enthusiastic applause. Sir Ronsat, in returning thanks. principally dwelt upon the necessity of a reform in Parliament, notwith- standing the liberal course pursued by the present Mi nistry ; for without reform, the people had no security for the continuance of such a system. He also urged the expediency of their meeting and expressing their sentiments with respect to the Corn Laws, before the next Session of Parliament, in order that he and his col. league might receive their instructions on that subject. The healths of Mr. Calvert, the other Member for Southwark, and of Sir F. Burdett, and of each of the individuals whose names are mentioned above, were successively proposed, and drank with all due honours. The two leading topics of their respective speeches were thenecessity of reform, and the great military services of their gallant Chairman, which were universally ac knowledged, not only in England, but throughout the, greater part of Europe. Shortly after nine o'clock, the Cnainatax announced that he and his honourable friends were obliged to attend the Howe of Com mons; and having first expressed his gratitude to the company for their kind expressions of approbation, he retired with Sir F. Barden and the rest oldie Members of Parliament present. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. M ANSI ON- H OUSE. Yesterday, Editersl Gi dnU, Mislead Robinson, and Joseph Wood, three sailors, belonging to the Thames East Indlaman, were charged with violently assaulting James Crittle, the boatswaln.of that ship. Crittle stated, that on Monday he bad wale bueness to attend to at the India House, after which he went to the Hercules public-house, opposite, where he met the defendants, who abused him, and charged him with cruelty and ill-treatment during the voyage homewards; that they then rushed upon him, and beat him until he was nearly insensible. In answer to the charge the de. fendants stated, that on the voyage homeward the complainant had treated them with the greatest cruelty, frequently" starting" them without any provocation ; and that be had beaten and kicked one of them (Robinson) so severely that be was disabled for els weeks, 1111s1 that althoegb they complained to the Captain, they could gain Iss redress, so by way of satisfaction they bad given him a sound Arashing on catching him ashore. Several of the crew then stepped leeward, and confirmed the statement of the defendants as to the cruel treatment they had received from the complainant while on board the vessel -He frequently knocked them down and kicked them severely. The Loa) Myrna said, however culpable the . complainant's conduct might have been, tbedefendants ought not to tale the law into their own hands, and ordered tbent to find bail for the assault. When the complainant was about leaving the Justice Knout, he was taken Into custody by Hesketh the Officer, and placed at the bar, on a charge of bigamy. Sarah Crittle, the prisoner's -se cond wife,. stated, that she became acquainted with the ,prisoner in June, 1823, and that after a short courtship of ten days , they were m arried ,at Cork, according to the rites of the Rona* Church, be at the time representing himself as a Roman Catholic; that he went to sea a few days afterwards, and she had not peen him since, until within the last few days, when she discovered be had another wife living, to whom he was married at St. Saviour's • Church, in the year 1817. The prisoner treated the charge with due most perfect indifference, and said, that he being a Protestant, the second marriage was not binding upon him;" and even asked the unfortunate girl to give him back her wedding-ring, which be said had cost him five dollars. He was remanded until to-morrow (this day), when his first wife will be in attendance to give evident* against him. MA RLBOROUG H-STREET. Monday, a warrant was issued by Sir Games Etasani, thit Magistrate, from this office, against the Earl of Harborough, and a Gentleman named Bailey, upon a charge of violently assaulting watchman in St. Geotge's parish, Hanover-square. The warrant was placed in the hands of Ballard, the officer; and' yesterday, at two o'clock, Mr. Bailey and Lord Harborough appeared before a full Bench of Magistrates, namely, Sir Geosita FARRANT, Mr. Dees Mr. Cesare, and Sir it. Blame, who happened to be at the office on other business. The complainant, Richard Addison, one of the watchmen of St. George's parish, who appeared with his head bound up, and feeble -' from loss of 'being sworn, morning, hie seemed itt a very state the blood, stated, that about half-past one o'clock on Monday a 4 was on duty in Bond-street, and saw two Gentiatien, one of whom was present (pointing to Lord Harborough), approach tim, shouting and making a great noise,' so as to disturb the' whole neighbourhood. He therefore revisited them to from tasking such a noise at that boor • bet Lord Ha replied, that he would make as much Lite, and along, ai thought proper; and they both still continued hallooing.— He then attempted to lay hold of Lord Herboeough, who was the most noisy, but both Gentlemen ran off as fast as they could, and set w ition at defiance. He pursued them, and came up- with Lord 'Hai - borough, whom be did not then know, at the deer of Sesesme% Hotel, and seised him by the coUar ; but he had no gasser dew. / than be was shoved hr by some person from beisind,•wkile hating hold of his Lordship, to the passage of the Hotel ; and here hie Lordship and the other Gentleman who was with bins, called for a rescue; and presently a host of Gentlemen came oat from the coffee-room, dragged him in there, and set-to beating Min in a maidens manner. Los d Harborough called out for a poker, which was brought him, by whom he could not say, and with this weep* its Lordship suuck him repeatedly ow the head, inflicting several desperate wounds, and left him in a gore of blood; and his stick having been taken from him in the first instance, he bad not the means of warding off any of the blows, and it was with great dill culty that he *as even able to spring his rause, which, however, he at length succeeded in doing, and some other watchmen came ip his assistance. While Lord Harborough was striking him over the head with the poker, and had him up against the stairrase Mr. Ridley, the other defendant present, sum& him also a blow wi th his fist in the face. At onetime he did not expect MU to get out of the house alive, for the violence of his Lordship's party was such that they had nearly expelled all the other watchmen, and chimed the street door; leaving him (the complainant) inside, which had they done, he bad no doubt but they would have lolled him; indeed Lord ilarlxwough frequently called out-+" D—n W 7,1, kill bills; ' let us kill him:" The Okla which was used. on this occasion by I.zad I Wile forgh was produced, d wai bent neatly double by thitzt °tenet of ths doors to a n t.

" The Gentleman who was in. company with Lard. Itior. borough in the street where t he noise was made, the complainait said he did not know, and bad made his escape in this itoisfthion. He (complainant) had repeatedly said, that if the Gentlemen wed give him their names, or where thry lived in the horise,t was him all he wanted; but they refused, add swoin they would do for before tb:y let hint out of their hands. Three other watchmen bec kdescri the situation in w hi c i s complainant was pieced, when hy enterei til :h t r any hei .vi e o l i , er - c r e s : most alarming. . In reply to the charge, the t wo defendants said, they bad used to at complainant was only in eelf-defettee. The they raid, had behaved WOK intoleutly, and bad. du prc , sumptiou and the temerity to fellow Lord Harborough Into tco coffee-room, and swore that he take him away front:theft to' the watch-house, ei th er dead or alift would ; and It was In his rash sad impudent attempt to do ea that he got the blows of which be complained. Lord Harborough said, that as for suing the pober,•he Dever called for it until license seven or eight. watchmen striking with' their sticks at Mr. Bailey's bend; and it warto Save his life that he used the poker. The • watchman, his Lordship said, viva coln plain of having his clothes torn, but hk (Lord Harborough) had Me coat, waistcoat, and everything else on him, torn in Mimi. Mr. Bailey said, that he also had his dotbes tattered in oftsy part, and moreover he bad been nearly choked; for one .of. the watchmen got his hands into his cravat, sod -nristed it until it Was nearly all over with Men. As for the blow he struck the oat*. ant, it was merely to save Lord Harborough from being annihilated: Lord Harborough here refereed to the tread waiter at Searreale• Hotel, as to whether or not both himself and Mr: Bailey did Nat. eller their names and address to the watchman ? The waiter said, that certainly 'Mr. Scott, the proprietor a the Hotel, offered himself several times to give he names and 'Urns. A watchman of St. James's parish said, that he told the com plainant, before he entered the house at all, that the prisoner he bad hold of was Lord Harborough, and that be lived there. Every one about there, he said, knows, or at least has reason to know, his Lordship; Lord Harborough said, the fact was, there was no noise what ever made by either himself or his friend in the street, in the first instance, as a Gentleman present could vouch. Captain O'Grady, M.P. said, that be was up stairs in hie beds room at the time, in the Hotel, with his windows open : and pre vious to the riot in the house he heard no noise in the street. Lord Harborough said, that the complainant wanted merelysto obtain a valuable compromise of the spatter, but be should disap point him. - • Sir G. FtIIZAIII said. that as be had no power to try the spee. don, he had only one straight-forward course to pursue—namely, to call on his Lordship and Mr. Bailey to produce bail, to answer the charge at the Sessions. His Lordship sent the waiter of the Hotel for Mr. Scott and another tradesman in Bond-street, to bail them; And after . the necessary recogniaances being entered into (1001.) the defendants were discharged.

Unfortunately a dog burrowed under the rip, and destroyed them all. AFFECTING STORT.—.Some time ago, a young man took up his residence in a Scottish viliage, much celoi brated for its delightful situation and mineral waters. During his stay he succeeded in gaining the affections of a very amiable young girl, daughter of the person with whom he lodged. He told her he wds a/wager branch of a most respectable family in the North of Scotland, and that, owing to some domestic misfortune', he was then a kind of exile from his father's house. this representation he had the address to draw money, to a considerable amount, from the affectionate and trusting girl. At length, pretending busineis, he to k. leave, solemnly pledging to return in a few weeks and make her his wife. About three months after his de parture, a letter was delivered to her, dated frogs a jail in the outh of Scotland. It proved to be from her lover, and stated that a short time after leaving her, be had, from necessity, contracted a trifling . debt, and tad been thrown into prison; at the same time, entreating her, as she valued his regard, to relieve him from a situation so unworthy. The faithful girl, listen ing only to the dictates of her love, set of imam diately, with all the money she could' procure, to give him liberty. In an inclement season—through a country with which she was unacquainied—she at length reached the place of her destination.. With slow and feeble step, -she proceeded upwards in the • principal street, but found it impossible to advance, owing to an immense crowd of people to witness; the punishment of a criminal. She stepped on the stairs leading to a shop, and involuntaeily tarn ing her eyei upon the poor wretch, writhing under the lash of the executioner, beheld the object of :her tender solicitude. A large placard was plated •upots his breast, intimating that the punishment was for the crime of theft. In a state of insensibility she sank into the arms of one of the by.standers. Reason never again dawned. on her darkened mind ; and, at thicmo ment, she is to be seen wandering in her native .vil lage, an affecting instance of she basest villainy tsi umphing over unsuspecting innocence.
