LAW REPORT. COURT OF K [NG'S BENCH, JUNE 14. STOREY V. MINCHIW. This was an action for slander. The plaintiff is a respectable maltaer, residing at Portsmouth ; the de fendant a solicitor, and the slander alleged was, that the defendant had imputed to the plaintiff the commission of forger y. Witnesses were examined on both sides, when, at the suggestion of his LORDNIIIP, the parties agreed to with dritw a Juror, and no verdict was taken. PREROGATIVE COURT, JUNE 14. LOCKE V. BENNER. Sir Joust NICHOL delivered his judgment in this case. The deceased was formerly married to a person named Clinch, who, as a coach-master, had amassed considerable property, the whole of which, at his death, he bequeathed to her. She resided many years at Farn ham, and was a very illiterate woman. In 1810 she married the Rev. Dr. Locke, who was in embarrassed circumstances, and who seemed, both at and after the marriage, to have had no other object in view but the possession of her money. She, however, had a mar riage settlement executed, by which all her property was placed in the hands of trustees for her use, except the sum of 3,0001. or 4,0001. which she gave to her hus band; thereby reserving the same power of disposing of her property at her death as if she should die a widow. Shortly after her marriage she made a will, by which she devised all her property to her poet relations. Oa the 13th June, 1811, she made another will, giving 5,0001. stock between her four brothers and two sisters, and the interest of 6,5001. to her husband for life: by a subsequent codicil, she revoked the bequest of the in terest of 6.5004 to her husband, and gave him in lieu a legacy of 2,Q00/. In May, 1816, she executed a will of quite a different character, giving Dr. Locke all her pro perty, and appointing him sole executor; on the 28th May, 1819, she revoked the former wills and executed another, by which her property went chiefly to her re lotions, as she did not seem desirous that her property should go towards the support of a young wife, if ever Dr. Loike should marry again; in this will Mr.Denner was appointed executor, and in opposition to it Dr. Locke put in a will, bearing date the 13th of June, 1819, the very day before the death of the deceased, in which he is appointed sole exe:utor, with the whole of the property, except a few trifling legacies to her rela tions. Now the question for the Cou►t to decide was, as to the mode of procuring the latter document, which was all written by Dr. Locke, and signed by three of his servants, therefore a greater burden of proof was necessarily thrown upon Dr. Locke, while the other document of May, 1819, was signed by respectable and disinterested persons. The Learned Judge read over a great portion of the voluminous evidence, and com mented upon it as he proceeded. He observed, it was clear that Mrs. Locke had been influenced to make some of the will,; and that in one letter, written by her direction (as she was unable to write) to her professional adviser, alluding to the will in favour of her relations, she begged him not to let Dr. Locke know she had exe cuted such a document, for if he knew of it, he would compel her to make one more in his favour. It-also ap peared that the deceased was in a vet) , low state from the 4th of June, 1819, until her death ; and that her capa city was too much impaired to execute a testamentary document only the day preceding her death. On the whole, the Learned Judge observed, that he could not help thinking that Dr. Locke had so contrived the trans action, as to give it every appearance of fraud ; he therefore was bound to decree probate of the will of May, 1819, to Mr. Denner, and to condemn Dr. Locke in the costs of the suit. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, JUNE 14. John Hancock and Cornelius Hancock (brothers), whose cases had been previously investigated by the Court, and privately by the provisional assignee, were brought up for judgment. On the for aster hearing, Messrs. Aciot.rritis and D. PoLLocx opposed the insolient at the instance of Messrs. Brown and Company, Bankers, at Glastonbury, and other creditors. It appeared then in evidence that the insolvents had carried on the business of cheese-factors in the vicinity of Wells, and since th - st time had been speculators in London. They had contracted debts to a considerable amount, and Brown and Company held their bills for several hundred pounds. It was alleged against them that the debts were contracted in great part by means of false representations, and that they had not rea,onable expectation of fulfilling the engage ments into which they entered. The Report of Mr. Dance, the provisional assignee, was now read, which was of an unfavourable com plexion. Among other things, it set forth that the an swers lbe insolvent, to interrogatories put, were equivocal, contradictory, and unsatisfactory. Messrs. ADOLPHUS and PoLLocic prayed the judg ment of the Court ; and Mr. HEATH was heard on be half of Cornelius Hancock; after which the Court re capitulated the evidence before it, and in strong terms animadverted on the conduct of the insolvents, and sen tenced each of them to be confined within the walls of their respective prisons for calendar months, from the date of their petitions, at the suit of Messrs. Brown and Reeves. There were upwards of thirty plans submitted to the Magistrates, on the last County day, for the proposed female prison in Coldbath-fields. They have been di rected to remain for inspection till the next Sessions, when it is supposed that the plan most approved of will be ordered iintnediately to be carried into effect. In the meanwhiie a boundary wall has been contracted for, and is to be immediately erected vapid the county land comprising the site of the intended new p; icon. An inftknt, seven months old, being negl.:cted by its nurse, last week cried itself to death ! in the palish of Lyncombe and Wiiicombe. Last week, Mr. PanKtxsoN, ironmonger, of Colne, accompanied by three other young min, went into the Leeds and Liverpool canal, near that place. Two of them swam across the canal, and Mr. PARKINSON at temptnd to follow, hut when he got about the he was observed to return into mute shallow water ; he afterwards made a second attempt to swim across, but not being a good swimmer, he became so fatigued, that he kt his feet down to rest, and. the water being deep, he was drowned. It becomes our melancholy duty to record a very dis• trt s,ing accident that occurred at Pondicherry, on Tues day last. A gunpowder manufactory esphded in the Black Town, which destroyed many of the adjacent lisyses, andl caused the loss of many lives. five•and twenty bushes had been dug out of the ruins, when our correspon.ent dispatched his letter.—Madras Gazette, January 10. EAST INDIA HOUSE. A Special General Court of Proprietors of East India Stock, was yesterday held at the Company's House in Le,tdenhall-street. The CHAIRMAN (%'. Astell, Esq.) stated that the Court was specially summoned for the put pose of lay. ing before the Proprietors the Draft of a Bill, now pend ing in Parliament, for the purpose of ceding to the Company certain territories in the East Indies (Sinca. pore, &c.). in lieu of Bencoolen and certain other posses. sions, belonging to the Company, which had been trans• ferred to his Majesty the King of the Netherlands.— Having briefly stated the circumstances out of which this mutual transfer took place, the Honourable Chairman concluded by moving —" That the Court of Proprietors approve of the said Bill." Mr. K. JACKSON took an enlarged view of the con• flexion of this country with the Eastern Archipelago, and expressed his approbation of the present measure in the most unqualified terms. After a iew words from Messrs. GAIIAGAN, TRAIT, and WEEDING, the notion was agreed to nein. eon. and the Court adjourned. SURREY SESSIONS. Yesterday the General Quarter Sessions for. this County commenced, before Lord EASTNOR and a full Bench of Magistrates. THE KING V. LUKE CORNELIUS O'CALLAGHAN. Mr. Tit ESSIGER stated that the prosecutor in this case was the Rev. Mr. Saurin, a Beneficed Clergyman, and son of the Bishop of Dremore, and the defendant was a Gentleman, who, he understood, had been in the army. The Rev. Mr. Sauri n had found himself compelled to institute these proceedings against the defendant, in con sequence of having assaulted him, under circumstances which imperiously called on him to seek the interven tion of a Court of Justice. The Learned Counsel then fully detailed the particulars of the assault, and after wards supported his case by producing the follow ing evidence: The Rev. James Saurin, of No. 26, Gloucester-place, Portman-square, stated, that on the 29th of April last, he, accompanied by his friend, Mr. Bland, went tol Deptford on horseback, for the purpose of visiting the Discovery Ships. In the afternoon, while he was wait ing at the door of the Lord Duncan public-house, to have his horse brought out, he saw a carriage pass by, in which were some Ladies, and the defendant in the dickey. Captain O'Callaghan, as he passed, stared at him, and continued to do so until the carriage had passed out of sight. He afterwards overtook the car riage on the road, and looked into it, supposing that he might possibly know some of the Ladies, from the stedfast manner in which the defendant had previously looked at him. In the carriage there were four Ladies; but not knowing either of them, he proceeded forward at a smart pace. The carriage, however, overtook them, and, as it passed, the defendant, who was in the dickey with another Gentleman, stood up and said,— " Are you satisfied?" To this observation no reply was made; but as Captain O'Callaghan 's manners were so very singular, it occurred to the witness that he had been taking too much refreshment, and, for that reason, he was about to put spurs to his horse, when the defendant called out, " Sir, you are no Gentleman; you are a scoundrel," and at the same moment demanded the witness's card. Witness and his friend paid no atten tion to the remarks of the defendant, but kept a-head of I the carriage until it arrived at Camberwell-green. At I this time the prosecutor expected the carriage had gone another road, but, on looking round, he saw it fast ap proaching, and on overtaking them defendant dropped from the dickey, seized the bridle of the prosecutor's horse, and used very opprobrious language. The de fendant was cautioned on the extreme impropriety of Lis behaviour, and that he was committing a breach of the peace; but, in the violence of the moment, he seized the stick from the prosecutor's hand, and struck him with it across the shoulders. After which the defendant again demanded prosecutor's card, making an observa tion that he was a disgrace to his country. Belo: ehe gave his card he tore off the " Reverend," and sub stituted " Mr." before his name; but this card the de fendant and his friends refused to accept, and demanded a perfect one, which, to avoid further dispute, he gave, and immediately rode off. Cross-examined by Mr. Pnruars.—l am a beneficed Clergyman, and my living is in the North of Ireland. Mr. PHILLIPS on the part of the defendant, animad verted in severe terms on the conduct of the prosecutor in this transaction.—The Learned Counsel then com nieuteil on the conduct of the plaintiff, and put it to the Jury to say whether any of them would not have pur sued the same course as he had done, bad they been placed in the same situation? Mrs. Thelwall examined.—She first saw the prosecu tor standing at the door of an inn in Deptford; she af terwards saw two Gentlemen on horseback pass by the carriage, and look in at the window. They soon after dropped behind the carriage, and again came to the window, and looked in, in a manner which appeared to her to be very mat ked and rude. It was so much so that she was compelled to turn her head aside. The prosecutor rode up to the carriage a second and third time, but, considering an offence was offered to her, she did not look at him. Mr. Boyle, a bookseller, also saw the prosecutor behave in an insulting manner to the Ladies along the road. The Chairman (Lord EASTNOR) said, it w as clear that an assault had been committed, without there being anything, as appeared to bim, to justify it. The Jury found the defendant Guilty, but strongly recommended him to mercy, on account of the previous provocation he had received.—The Couit then sen tenced the defendant to be imprisoned for one month, and to pay a fine of 201." to the King. Yesterday being Trinity Monday, the Corporation of the Trinity House held their Anniversary Meeting, and proceeded in barges to their Hall at Deptford, where the Right Honourable the Earl of LIVERPOOL was unanimously re-elected Master for the ensuing year; and after attending Divine Service at the Church of St. Nicholas, where an excellent Sermon was preached by the Rev. CHARLES SUMNER, M.A. they returned to dine at the City of London Tavern, where were present many of the Nobility, Admirals, and persons of distinction. Thomas Mullins, lately residing with a person of the came of Jones, at Exbury, near Baulien, in the New Forest, signifying his intention of changing his residence, was asked by hi s l an dl a d y to sett l e h er d eman d o f n i ne shillings previous to quitting her house, when with great vehemence he exclaimed-- ,, Mrs. Jones, May GOD strike me dead if I owe you more than one shilling E' The words were scarcely uttered before the man dropped down and instantly expired.

Rainer. the celebrated pedestrian, on Tuesday se'nnight, ran from the Hare and Hounds, near Hastings, to the George Inn, Battle, and back again, on the turnpike road, a distance of thir teen and a half miles in ninety minutes (ninety-five the time al lowed), and which he accomplished apparently without much fa tigue, in the presence of a great number of spectators, iir a spirited and manly style, jumping over a rope at the conclusion. Mr. W. West's match to go to the thirty-six mile-stone on the Oxford road, and return to London in eighteen hours, was com. pleted yesterday at ten minutes before one o'clock. He did the first twenty miles in three hours and a half, and reached the thirty-six mile -stone, near Stokan Church, in more than an hour within the given time. TROTTING MATCH. Mr, Dysart's match to trot his mare fifteen miles in one hone, took place yesterday over three miles of ground, for 100 sovereigns, and to carry 11 stone. The first three nules were done in 11 min. 10 sec. the second, 11 min. 8 sec. third, 11 min. 110 sec. fourth, 12. min. 10 sec. fifth, 12. min. 2.8 sec. Total, 58 minutes 10 secor.ds. The mare broke only twice, and won the match cleverly. ROWING MATCH FOR A HUNDRED SOVEREIGNS• This grand Rowing Match of distance against time, was con tended for on Saturday last, on the river Thames, for 100 sove reigns, by two Gentlemen, who, it appears, undertook, for the above wager, to row, in a waterfowl's wherry, with oars, accom panied by a coxswain, from Woolwich up the River, proceed through the centre arch of Richmond-bridge, and return again to the starting place at Woolwich, in the space of eight hours. The parties were landsmen, and Cadets belonging to Woolwich; and no sooner was the match in contemplation, than several heavy bets were laid against the performance the distance being computed to exceed 55 miles. Accordingly, gaturday being the day fixed on for the exploit, about half-past eleven o'clock the rowers made their appearance on the shore, dressed in blue striped shirts : they were in high spirits, and fully confident of succeeding. Preparatory ar rangements then commenced for this excursion, and about twelve o'clock the parties took their station in the boat, immediately op posite the Arsenal, and ten minutes afterwards they started from Woolwich, by signal, with a strong current upwards, and pro ceeded along the silvery stream with great velocity. At five mi nutes after two the rowers reached Lambeth Palace, and arrived at Richmond-bridge about a quarter before four, tool :a little refresh ment, and remained there several minutes; they then proceAlest downwards, and on their arrival at Waterloo Bridge it was half. past six o'clock ; here they seemed much fatigued, rowed very ir regular, and the general opinion among many well-known, experi , enced watermen was, that they would no doubt lose the wager, as they appeared knocked up. The candidates, however, manfully maintained their stations, :rnd keeping up a firm reaolution, finally reached the starting place within seven minutes and a half of the appointed time, and won the match cleverly, although greatly di,. tressed. The successful candidates were immediately ushered ashore, amid loud acclawations of joy front a crowd of spectators assembled on the occasion. BOXF.RS. After the the sports at the Five,' Courts yesterday, there were full meetings at Belcher's and Randall's to complete the match making. After sumptuous dinners, all the money was made good at Belcher's for the fight between hlatthewson and Barney Aaron; and at Randall's, between Sampson and Ward, for the fight on Mond a y the 21st inst. Betting eto4 on Ward, and even on the other. The case of Mr.. Brooks is not the first in regard to questionable identity, as connected with actresses for merly of the Surrey Theatre. When'this Lady was Mrs. Hatton, and played there, Miss Giroux was also a per former, to whom a young Lady, who s e father resided near the Circus, as it was then called, bore so strong a likeness that she was frequently mistaken for her. Neal ly at the same time, when the celebrated Mrs. ‘Vybrow engaged as Cohonbine and other char acters, at the same place, one of the frail sister hood, who occasionally fre• quented the boxes, greatly resembled her, and carried the likeness to so good an account, that several Gentle men were known to boast of a closer intimacy than had actually subsisted. Among others, a Mr. P. of Liver pool, was for some weeks a dnpe to her artifice; when, being introduced to the real Lady, the delusion subsided to his extreme vexation. The counterfeit is still very frequently to be seen, in a very reduced state, in the neighbourhood of Fleet-street. About fourteen years since there were many of what were ludicrously called fac-similes in the metropolis. A woman named Ann Siggs, who begged on crutches, was declared, from her features and figure, to be sister to Mrs. Siddons ; Green wood, the scene painter, and George dale , the author of ?he Blood Red Knight and other Pantomimes, were very much alike; Mr. Ilocher, a painter, now living op posite the Museum, and S:ir.cock, the well-known Bath coachman, were frequently mistaken for each other; Mr. Sloane, now dead, who resided near Coventry street, could not stir on certain days in the Haymaiket, ss ithent being taken for Mr. Brown, of Paddington, the hay salesman; a Mr. Moreing and a Mr. Merton, were stiled the two Dromios ; and Pearkes, the Bow-street' officer, then living, while lounging about the doar of ste . office, was frequently pointed out as young Bannister.

The Doctor's proposal was, the. he would take her from Dublin (where Mr. resides, having a musical situation in the Theatre of that City) to the Continent, provided he had permission to exhibit her as an extraordinary dwarf fora short time in Lfindon, for the purpose of reinthursisig him his expenses. To this the parents agreed; and the next tidings thcy heard of their child was of her death, nut from the Doctor, but through the newspapers. Mr. Fogle immediately left Dublin, and on his arrival in lAuidon, be could neither find the Doctor, WV hear anything of the remains of his child, to remove which to Dub lin for interment was the object of his journey. Ile suspects, Irvin information he has received, that the Doctor has sold the eddy of the child to surgeons for dissection, front the circumstance of his having been beard to say, in the life time of the child, that in case of her death, the surgeons wound give him 5001. for her remains. The Magistrate having heard Mr. Fogle's statt:dlent, advised him to apply to the parish authorities where the child died, whose ditty it was to see that a Coroner's Inquest was held upon any per. son meeting with a sudden death, as this child wes represented to have done.---Mr. Fogle thanked the Aiagistrate fur this advice.
