LAW INTELLIGENCE. VICE-CIIANCP.I.I.OR'S COURT, Novinisits 3. 3I i GREO O II V. THE EAST INDIA C •SIPANY AND OTHERS M. HORNS stated, that this was a demurrer to the plaintiff's bill. That hill was filled for a discovery of certain documents in the possession of the Ea,t India Company, in support of his claim in an acti n of law which he had commenced against the Company, t fr• cover a large sum of money. under the following cir cumstances: In the year 1783. Sir John W'Yhers n, at that time Governor-General of India, thought it neces-1 slaty, on account of the political intrigues of some of the Chiefs of the Native Powers, to send confidential persons to ascertain, if possible, the actual state of feel ing towards the Bluish Government; to one of the most distant of these States the plaintiff's father hod been sent, and it was the expenses incurred on that em bassy that formed the ground of the pretent action.— Now to this action the defendants had put in a plea of the general issue, and also that they were not liable, as the plaintiff was debarred of his claim by the Statute of Limitations, there having been no application for more than six years previous to the commencement of the action. The Learned Counsel contended that this was a good plea, and as such, an effectual bar to the action, therefore the granting the prayer of the bill could not be of any service to the plaintiff. Mr. Sounas, in support of the bill, complained in strong language of the manner in which the plaintiff's claim was always met. The action was commenced in the year 1823, and had been from time to time put off by the East India Company putting in different pleas. He believed this one made a round dozen of them, and if the Court allowed it, it would amount to a total de nial of justice. It was absolutely necessary for the plain• tiff to obtain an inspection of certain correspondence between the Governor General and the Court of Direc tors, at the tine this claim originated; he could not sate.y go to trial without, and the only means he had csi getting that information was by a bill of dittovery. He therefore tt listed the Court would not think the plea put in a siifficieht reason to dismiss the bill. Mr. HORNi replied—The claim had lain dormant for, near iy forty years, and therefore the Directors, as guar dians of a great Company, had only done their duty in meeting it in the way they had done. The VICE CHANCELLOR was of opinion that the plea was good. The bill must therefore be dismissed. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Nov. 3. TRIM/Xi Of ROIIIURGH'S WILL. DODD V. THE EARL Or WINCHILSRA AND OTHERS. This was an issue directed from the MASTER of the ROLLS, to ascertain whether John, the late Duke of Roxburgh, by his will, have a freehold house in St. James's•square to the plaintiff? The question was— whether a small portion of the estate of the Duke cf Roxburgh, consisting of his house in S. Jame:s•squate, would pass under his will to the plaintiff? It was pre. • sumed the will was not made 'according to law, and the question depended upon the Statute of Frauds, which requires that every will devising real property shall be signed by the person so devising; it must also be attested, and subscribed in the presence of the devi sor, by three witnesses. There was no doubt the will was signed by the Duke of Roxburgh, neither was there any doubt that three persons, namely, Sir Courts Trot ter, William Winter, and John Batiste, signed their names to it as attesting witnesses; but the question was, whether it was attested in the Presence of the testator ? The evidence to prove the facts consisted of deposi tions taken on a former occasion, and the evidence of Sir Coutts Trotter, who was examined in the wit. nessee box. J. Tate, the Duke's upholsterer, stated that the late Duke of Roxburgh died in a room communicating with another apartment, called the writing room. There was in the writing room a Pembroke table and a pier table placed under a large glass, and the latter was in such a situation that the Duke lying in bed could set what was done upon it. The deposition of William Winter, taken in 1807. in a suit in the Ecclesiastical Court, stated that deponent saw the Duke write his nanie - to the will, after which deponent, Sir Coutts Trotter, and Batiste, the Duke s seri - ant, signed it, upon a table near the bed. The de ponent therefore roved that the will was attested in, the Duke's bed-room. Batiste's deposition did not speak of the place where the will was atte►ted, but only said it was in the room where the Duke died. Sir Coutis Trotter, one of the attesting witnesses, was examined. He stated that he remained with the Duke in the bed-room, whilst Mr. Dundas, Writer to the Signet in Edinburgh, prepared.the will. The door of the adjoining room was open, and Mr. Dundas was writing in that snow. The witness remained two hours, and Mr. Dundas told him the Duke was ready to exe- Pte the will. Winter was in the room with him. The Puke was in bed, and signed his name. The witness and Winter signed it, but be could nut say whether he , signed in the bed-room or in the adjoining room. The impression on his mind was that it was in the adjoining room. Mr. Dundas was a Writer to the signet, and a most respectable man. Mr. Alexander spoke to the long practice of Mr. Dundas, and his great knowledge of the law. The &Limon GENERAL (with whom were Mr. Deouctutss and Sir JOHN STUART), as Coon,el for the defendants, who are the heirs at law, drew me attention sof the Jury to the absence of Mr. Dundas, who was still living. and might have been called to prove whe ther the will was attested in a pat titular place. It was impouible, he said, that the July crud petunie it was attested in the presence of the testator, ut, ess the man who prepared the will was called to Mr. DundaF, who came from Scotland to make toe will, had dtav:n it up according to the law of Scotland ra ther than that of England, and it was evident upon the face of the instrument, that he was not aware that the Statute of Frauds required attestation in the presence of the testator. If the will was attested. as he should contend it was, in a room where the Duke could nut see the ceti. mnny, it was null and void. The SOLICITO - S-GENERAL called no witnesses. Lind *fEVI . ENDEN left the Jae y to say. taking the whole uf the evidence into their consideration, whether it was proved that the witnesses did sign in the Duke's bed loom, or in such part of the adjoining room that the Duke might have seen them ? If that was made out to their satisfaction, the sal was good, and they ought to find a verdict for the plaintiff. The Jury retired from the box. and on their return delivered a verdict fo: the plaintiff, by which they found . that the will was duly attested. - ' TRH LING V.

They sacred judgment to go by default, and ...hen called up to receive judgment, they put in several affidavits in mitigation of punishment, alleging that the informer Small had incited tl:eni to run goods,hy bribing them, at the same time assuring them that he would hold them harmless. This gave rise to a postponement of the judgment, in order to ailow Small to answer the allegations of the defendants. He did so, denied baying ever incited the defendants or any other persons to run goods, and all the material allegations. The defendant now by his Counsel raised a point of law which was held by Lord Ttariausa to be fatal to the indictment, and the defendant was acquitted. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 5. CAZZNOvE AND 07'111111 V. Dk TIIURAY. The plaintiffs in this case are the agents of Monsieur De Londre, for the sale of sulphate of quinine in this country. Defendant had acted as agent to D: Londre until the latter end of November, 1827, when De Londre consigned a quantity of sulphate of quinine to the defendant, of the value of 1,3431. for which he drew two bills, accepted by the defendant. It was al leged on the part of the latter, that he was only to pay for these acceptances money to the amount of the qui nine he held in bis hand. There was not any proof that the quinine was sold; but the defence was, that there was no consideration for the acceptances. The LORD Con., Anima held that an acceptance could not be set aside by any parel agreement made at the time of acceptance. It was for the defendant to prove the sale of the quinine, but he considered him liable even if he had not converted it into cash. Verdict for the plaintiff—ainsages, 1,345 i. ARCHES COURT. Nov. 5.

Dr. LUSHINGTON now moved the Court to extend the term fur proving the cruelty and adultery. In coin• pliance with tt , e wishes of the Court, a negociation was carried on, with a view to a reconcili tion, and it had only broken off within a few weeks, by Mr. Brown's declaring that he would enter into no compromise. The Learned Counsel also moved that a sum should be allotted on a:count of alimony. Sir J. NICHOLL extended the time for proving to the first day of next Term, and intimated his intention of allotting a sum for alimony next Court Diy, if some allegation was not put in by Mr. Brown, to contradict the statement made on the other side relative to his cir cumstances. SURREY SESSIONS, Nov. S. —...-- The Adjourned Sessions commenced this morning before RANDALL JACKSON, Esq. A great many Ma gistrates and Gentlemen were present, among whom we observed C. N. Pallmer, Esq. M.P. Robert Hedger, Esq. Chairman of the Quarter Sessions, -- Barnard, Esq. Rev. Mr. Onslow, kc. COMPLAINT AGAINST THS COAL-MiTgfl. When the CHAIRMAN had taken his seat, a Petition, addressed to the Clerk of the Peace of the County, was read, from Messrs. Horne, ei the Falcru Wharf, Black friars, complaining of the conduct of two coal meters, named Wilcox and Smith, who, it was alleged. had been guilty of gross negligence and malversation, in signing a certificate, and giving a fake ada.easurement of certain coals intended to be 'Nipped from three of their barges to Demerara. The Petitioners begged for an inquiry into the subject, and concluded by praying the Court to make such order in the case as in its wisdom it might deem fit. Messrs. THISSIOER and CHANNEL appeared on the part of Mews. Horne, and Messrs. BARNEWALL and JEMUITT for the coal-meters. Mr. Tinsman opened the case, stating the gratifica tion he felt at seeing so many highly respectable lien. demo present. The public felt a very great interest in the present inquiry, because it must lead to a series of investigations upon the subject. The question at issue ieally was, whether frauds had been practised by the coal•meters, or whether they had been corn:tinted by the Messrs. Horne? It was much t• be regretted that many misrepresentations upon the subject had gone abroad, and therefore the present inquiry became the more imperatively nects.ary. Mr. Thesaiger proceeded co make some comments upon the conduct of the coal meters. when he was interrupted by a County 51 4gia trate, who objected to the line of argument adopted by the Learned Counsel. The CHAIRMA N said, that he was sure Mr. Thessiger had no wish to pursue au objectionable course. Mr.Tnusioxit then explained to the Court the dif ference between wharf measure and prxil measure. The quantity of pool measure was always a fluctuating one, and therefore there would always be a difference. After some observations, with a view to show the difficulty of knowing the exact qu entity of coals contained in any , particular barge, the Learned Counsel entered into the particulars of the transaction in question. On the 6th If September last, a person named Smith, a coal meter, was asked how much he would charge for shipping 1,100 hogsheads of coals on board a vessel bound to Demerara? but as the Messrs. Home agreed to supplyl them at two shillings a chaldron less than any other person, the contract was given to them. The measure ment IX the coals was made from their barges near Black friar's-bridge. on the llth" of September, and the two succeeding days ;and one part of the Learned Counsel's argument was directed to prove that Messrs. Horne could not be aware of the quantity of coals delivered out when reduced from pool measure to wharf measure; and that no imputation of fraud could lie against them. There were two gangs employed in the transaction in question, called the m two-bushel gang" and the •• three. bushel gang," and a cooper attended fur the purpose of beading-up the hogsheads when filled. It was after wards discovered that oily 21 bushels, hutted of 22 rhusbels, bad been put into the hogsheads; bin as it rn t 4 , told civa t i Horne y of coal. pit into each of them, the f•ct landed • cn e t a o re p d a th y a p t a o rt n i e cuTar th :tt M ess e t s i proof that they could have bad no fraudulent mien t.on. The Learned Counsel went on to state that he should prove it was the duty of the coal miter to rye rat the proper measure was given, and that the coal ' reset chant could not know any thing about the matter. One pint of the evidence, the Learned Counsel said. was almost decisive of the question, and he called the particular attention oldie Court to it. He should prove that Armand, the cooper, was sent expressly to head up the casks, and as the meter suffered him to gr. r (so m the operation without any remonstrance, if the poorer quantity had not been put into them it was clearly the fault t f the :peter. and not of Messrs. Horne. When all the hogsheads had been nailed up. Sm th, the meter, gave a certificate importing that 1.100 sacks of coals had been put into the hogsheads. Mr. Tlitssioxit read a section c.f the Act 47th of George 111. ti. pose that it was the duty of the meter to have ascertained the quantity of coals which the hogsheads contained before the certificate was given. Now in the present ease the two meters had given a false certificate of the quantity, and were clearly guilty of the charge alleged in the petition. The Learned Counsel said, that the evidence he intended to adduce would bring home the charge to them in the most satisfactory manner. The following witnesses were then examined: Thomas Archer stated, that be was wharf cleik to Messrs. Horne for the last 15 years; in the month of September last, 150 hogsheads were brodght to the wharf anti filled with c..als; on the 11th and 12th of the same month. Charles Smith and George Wilcox, labouring coal meters, attended; on Saturdabthe 13th September. about eight o'clock in the evening, Smith and Wilcox, who had left the wharf, returned, and the former said to witness, that they had taken the liberty of calling on him slain, as they understood he was in the habit of allowing the meters something on Ssturday night ; w itness replie.l. that they were ma in the liah t of A tha ing the meters anything. They ho h then said they knew he did, for they had been so is Coined by an! old coal meter, who told them they (meant's!! the coal merchants) wete in the habit of allowing 11. a week. an I had given it to the last men that were the• e; witness said they were young trivets, and he hot M irli to take Advantage of them; hut. ittid r the se 'stations sal the New Act, they were pinhibited town asking or de. minding any thine. Smith then said tli4t it ey did n t like the new segillationts, but expressed a wish that the itade might be btouglit hack again to the good rid times. Witness slid, these were a few :hilltop felt by some dealers, which should be divided amongst them at the end of the month ; witness then awmpted to leave the place, and Smith tos.k hold of the lappets of his char, and said, is You shan't leave us so," and pointing to the hogsheads said, 42 You'll give us s imething for them At any rate; you know they ate all right." Witness raid, that he did not know there was any thing wrong, but at all events he would not give them any thing ; they then said, " As you'll not give us any thing, you must take the consequences." The atteudance of meters belote and atter the hours they were bound to attend was a great convenience to coal merchants, and enabled Messrs. Horne to send out ten chaldrons daily more than thq could otherwise do;' and three of the dealers ism cpal had allowed him to give a shilling a week to the meters fur their general attention to business. Witness received a certificate from Smith and Wilcox of the quantity rf coals shipped in the hogsheads, for which quantity he paid mintage to Mr. Taurguand, principal coal-meter. Cross-examined—He told Smith that if he bad given him the least hint of what was going on, he would have prevented Mr. Taurguand knowing where the coals came from. Mr. Taurguand had been at the *had that morning to mike some inquiry about those coals, and witness said to him, that he s..pposed that was one of the consequences the meters threatened him with, when theywanted to bully him nut if money onSaturdaynight. eke CalatttalAN--He could net say to what meters he gave the last twelve shillings a month, lett by the customers; he gave Wilcox and Smith an order for a glass of brandy and water at a public-house a.) Satur day night. It was the practice under the old Act to give the meters a pound a week for their attention, but it was discontinued since the lit eaeiit Act came into operation. because they had not the same accommodation. The last I 2 s. left by customers was given on the 6th Sept. The dealers were Boys and Marsden, William Gould, junior, and Mr , . Hayward. Joseph Horne stated, that he carries on the coal trade in partnership, at it eSttand and at Vauxhall. On the 20th of September be saw meter Wilcox sign a certi6- , cam at w itness's wharf with his sot name only; witness asked him, was be at aid or ashamed of his Christian 'same? witness also asked, was he the meter that had been at Horne's wharf the last month, and superin tended the hogsheads ill. re ? he said no, he was not ; but he knew all about it, as it was a cousin of his; there were three Wilciixes, and he had been in the office seven years; he said the short Mr. Horne (he after. wards called himWilliani Horne) had offered his cousin a pound for the hogsheads, and on Saturday night re fused to give it to him, and that was the season be told his principas of it; about ten days after, Wilcox tame to him and said he was sorry for having told him a lie about his cousin being at Horne's wharf—it was him self that was there; and as he (witness) appeared to know something about it, he wished to know whet! er Horne meart to prosecute? witness replied that he was sure they did ; Wilcox said. if they did, their character would be blasted, and asked witness what he had best do? witness said, it he was really sorry he had better go to Messrs. Hot ne, aqd perhaps they might torego the pro-ecution. Wilcox said he would sleep upon it, and if i.e made up his mind to do is he would go is the morning. Mr. William Horne stated, that he was in partner. ship with two other persons as coal merchants; he never offered to give ‘Vilcox or Smith a pound respect ing the coals shipped in the hogsheads. This witness was not cross examined. Mr. CHANNEL addressed the Court in 6uppnrt of the charge; the evidence given in support of v hich, he said, mubt pre.erve to Messrs. Horne the high character they bad always possessed. He recapitulated the evi dence, and submitted that it completely supported the charge.
