His Lord s hip, addressing the Solicitor for the Duke of Somerset,. ex p r essed surprise that he had not proceeded with more speed in this case.

Mr. bawl this day concluded his arguments on the same side with the SOLICITOR-GENERAL and Mr. SHADWELL. Mr. BICKERSTEITH also appeared on behalf of the Earl of Mansfield, and Mr. Menu., the Clergyman, who had been appointed Master of the Highgate Grammar School. With respect to the Noble Earl, be argued that. his Lordship ought net to have been made a party to the suit, and that the bill ought to have been dismissed with costs. On the part of - the ltev. Mr. Mentz, he, stated, that that Gentleman had been nominated to the office he now filled, under the express stipulation that he was only to be nominally Master of the Fclux)l, and that his duty was, the spiritual instruction of the hans-' let. As such spiritual instructor, he had been respected! and admired. Mr. Mentz had, however, instructed ta state to his Lordship, that lie was ready to act wider ' respect to tife School as his Lordship thought was mole conformable to the original intention of the founder. Mr. Ronne at some length replied. The Lono Crtanera.con then took a comprehensive view of the various instruments which had been pro duced on bosh sides, and obniaved upon the evidence, parol as well as documentary, upon which the Learned Counsel had mainly rested their arguments. He ex pressed a decided opinion, that the true construction of the most ancient deeds was, that these funds were not orginally granted for two purposes, but for one only, viz. the establishment of a grammar school at Highgate., It had been very forcibly argued by the Counsel tor the trustees, that when the Bishop originally made the grant of the chapel to Sir Roger Cholmondeley, it never was, intended that it stiould fall into desuetude. But to this argument a satisfactOry 'answer might be given, that no Bishop had a right to enearge 'the encumbrances and chat ges on the See, and, when lie made thii grant, there was no obligation upon him to enlarge it. It was plain, therefore, that the Bishop intended to give the chapel and lands annexed to it for the benefit and sustentation of the Grammar School—an Obligation which existed in the founder before this grant was made. His Lordship was well aware, that in the education o( children there was a fashion, and that the schools of Eton, Westminster, and Harrow, had been filled. Tirere was also a fashion among sonic people to educate their children by private tuition. The consequence had been that the private schools had been deserted, and the funds had proportionable been increased. A doubt had existed'in the mind of a..ord Hardwicke. whether the heir who had been disinherited by the 'charitable dona tion, had not a claim upon the surplus of such funds which could not be applied to the purposes originally intended by the !builder. Taking a view, therefore, of the whole Of this case, the first and most important question to be con4dered was, whether these' Trustees of the Charity could take upon themselves the obligation of enlarging the charity' s and of applying the funds for the purpose of rendering the chapel fit to car tarn 1,500 inhabitants of the hamlet of Highgate? Iris opinion being that the chapel and lands were granted upon trust for the 'benefit of the school, and that it ought to be treated in the same manner as when the original trustees took it, it could not be liable to the trust fund for enlarging it. No new obligations were created, and the present trustees were bound to execute the trust according to the ancient rule and custom. These were the strong impressions upon his mind, and if a decree was thought necessary by the parties, he would pronounce it. With respect to the costs incurred in Parliament, it was quite new to allow them in a Court of Equity, and he would make no order with re spect to them. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JANUARY 17. Before die Loan-Csiar Janice and a Special Jary. BRUNTON V. WHITE. This was an action for damages, the defendant hav ing made and vended chain cables, for the manufacture of which the plaintiff has a patent. The cause excited considerable interest, an action for a similar infringe ment of the same patent having been brought, and a verdict obtained for damages, three or four years ago. Mr. SCARLETT, for the plaintiff; stated, that on that oc casion, a motion had been made for a new trial, upon some point not respecting the chain cable, but respect ing improved ships' anchors, included in the same pa tent; but that, though a rule for a new trial had been granted, the defendant had not thought fit to try it, but had applied to plaintiff for, and had obtained a license to manufacture the chain cables under his patent, not choosing to risk another trial. On the present occasion the defence took a new turn. ire ATTORNEY-GENERAL, for defendant, stated, that he synitld not now contest that part of the patent relating the chain cable. That being given up, witnesses were examined as to the improvement on ships' anchors, and the validity of the patent in that particular; when the superiority of the patent anchors was fully established. Before the plaintiff obtained his patent, anchors 'had their arms made in two pieces, which were united to the shank by welding, which often caused the iron to be unsound at that part where the anchor should be strongest ; and which, in fact, is the strongest part of the patent anchor, in which the two arms are madei in one piece, with a conical or bell-mouthed hole in t i le middle, in which the shank is inserted, the widest part of the hole that receives .it being on the out s'sie, and filled up by the shank, which therefore c:.n never be separated from the arms. For the de fendant, it was contended that the stationary mooring anchors, called mushroom anchors, and those called edge anchors, which have their shanks secured in them in a manner somewhat similar, as was alleged, to those of plaintiff, were ships anchors. The Attorney-General, however, tailed, in his cross-examination of the plaintiff's witnesses, to establish that fact. None of them would admit that they wet* ships' anchors—they were only fot fixed moorings, the same as a large stone, or even a post, where a post could be fixed. But as he mode of fixing the shank in them Was somewhat similar, and as a somewhat similar mode of fixing shanks in hammers and pick-axes had long been practised, it was suggested by the Judge, that on that point the verdict might be special. The Counsel for defendant then intimated that they meant to contest the validity of the Patent on a ship's windlass included therein. Several nautical Gentlemen were then examined for plaintiff, and expressed their opinion that the windlass presented several improvements, but they had neve, seen it-in actual use on board a ship. Different engi neers and men of science (Mr. Brunel, Dr. Gregory, of the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich ; Professor Millington, of the Royal Institute, and Mr. 13ramab), proved that it possessed several advantages over the common windlass, inasmuch as, by being made to re volve on an axis, it enabled the crew to let out the anchor much quicker than could be done by the common wind lass; while at the same time, being furnished with what workmen call a break, the velocity could be perfectly regulated to any required speed, and being also 'fur nished with mechanical means for !ricking the revolving part, it then became a common windlass. The Arrottner-GENenat. endeavoured, in his cross at. examinion of plaintiff's witnesses, and in his address to the Jury (for he called no witnesses for defendant), to impress on the Mind of the Jury, that the windlass pre • sented no improvement ; , and contended that its not, having been brought into use mrship-board was a proof • that it was not a useful inventiolV and, not being useful, a patent for it could not be maintained. The Jury, however, by their verdict, seemed to be of opinion that a patentee's not being able to compel the Public to - buy and use his invention furnished no evi dence that it was not useful. They,found a verdict fur the plaintiff as to the noveltrand utility of the chain cable and the infiingement by the defendant. They also found that the anchor was new and useful, but sub jeCt to the opinion of the Court, whether, on account of the analogy to the pick-axe, the hammer, and the mushroom and adze anchors, in the mode of firing the shank, it formed the fit subject of a patent ; and the Jury also found that the windlass.s4i new and useful. Nominal Damages, 40i.---Costs 40s. - -- • [Dr. Gregory, we apprehend, said fee of his nautical experience than he might fairly have done. When, in giving We testimony, he spoke 'of the skirt voyages which he had made, he evidently adopted the mariner's sense of the term. Independent ly of other voyages, he is Well-known to have been appointed by this Government to go in . a King's frigate (the Investigator) as far as north latitude 61 deg. to make philosophical experiments on the length of the pendulum, the figure of the earth, &c. Km] RUTHERFORD V. THE TRUSTEES OF HALL'S WILL. This was an action brought by Mrs. Rutherford, of , Sunderland, against the trustees acting under the will of her brother, the late Richard Hall, of the Commer cial-road, for the recovery of certain leasehold property,, which was said to have been bequeathed away ft om the family by the deceased. The action was brought in the form of an ejectment against the parties in possession, . who were necessarily called upon, in the first instance, to sustain the validity of the will. Mr. Guasity, on the part of the residuary legatees; stated the case in suppOrt of the validity of the will, and called several witnesses to prove that the late Richard Hail, who died of dropsy in the year 182'2, had, on the 24th of September, that year, made a will bequeathing his personal property, which WAS under 8,0001. to wire , ral friends therein named, and his leasehold property; worth about 1,5001. to them also, and leaving (and that Mr. Ourney represented to have been of their own sug gestion) to Mrs. Rutherford, who was Mr. Hall's sister, one thousand. pounds. Many of. the witnesses said that Mr. Hall repeatedly declared that he would not leave her one farthing, calling her at the same- tin 4 an 14 im pudent hussy," and saying that she had collected and spent the rent of some property which be had in the North of England. It appeared that the will was made on the day before be died, when he was so feeble as to be obliged to be helped up and supported in the bed, when be could hardly articulate " yes " or " no," and that a person in the room held his hand, and put it on the paper to make his mark. Dr. Billing said that be attended and tapped him on the previous day, or day but one, when he was in a state of insensibility; that he was incoherent, and he could not say whether he was or, was not competent to make a Cll. A porter statedthat he had sat lip with him on the two nights before his death, and that he appeared . in his perfect senses, and able tQ call for brandy and water; which the nurse appeared to have supplied hint with, as well as taken a sup or two for herself ; for the doctor said ) that on one of these occasions he found both nurse and patient labouring under the effects of this liquor.—The case in support of die will was closed at a quarter before six o'clock; when Mr. Sc.+ am= said he was anxious, before, at that hour of theevening (nearly 6 o'clock), be ackdressedthern on the defence, to know if they had a doubt upon the case; for if they thought with him, that the man was not in a condition to make a will at le moment the paper was scratched upon, there would be no use in wasting their time for an hour or two further. The Jury, after a short consultation, said they were satisfied he was not at the moment competent to make a will : their verdict was therefore for the plaintiff. Several women who were in Court, and interested in the cause, commenced shouting for joy and clapping their hands, and the Lord Chief Justice threatened to commit them if they 'did not desist. OLD BAILEY, JAN. 17. John WeSb was capitally indicted for the wilful murder of Charles Gibson, and in another count for killing and slaying the said Charles Gibson. The facts of this case have already been before the Public. The deceased, Charles Gibson, was killed in a pitched battle at Bethnal-green, between him and a youth named George, who, with his master (who seconded him), a master baker, named Faucett, was tried last Session for the offence, were both convicted, and sentenced to dif ferent periods 'of imprisonment. The facts proved against the prisoner were these :—A fight . having been agreed upon in November last, between two youths Dared George and Gibson, for a leg of mutton and ( trimmings, in consequence of a dispute about a sack, which Gibson would not give up to George, though it - Was his property, which sack had been used at some wake or festival at Bow, at a race and jumping in sacks; it was lubseque,ntly agreed that the fight should be for a sovereign, and was to take place on the Monday fol lowing. About 700 persons were present at the fight, in Stepney-fields, Pear Bow, and the prisoner Webb was second to the decea s ed Cha r l es GZson. The evidence having been gone through, Mr. Justice BIJRROUGII said, in summing up, that tise case in no shape bore theingredient s essent i a l to a charge of mur der, viz. malice aforethought, and it - wat t f or t h e m (the Jury) to say, under all the circumstances, whether the prisoner had contributed to the death of the deceased? Fights of this kind were certainly unlawful, but it ap peared that, on this occasion, it seas a very fair fight.— ' The prisoner's youth and indiscretionslei him to take a part in it; and though it was improper, yet the transac tion did not evince on the part of the prisoner a badness of heart, and all the witneses who had given him a cha racter, spoke of him as a civil, well-belt ived, humane young man. If they were of opinion that he aided and comforted in the fight, though it had been sworn he advised the deceased to give over, a circumstance greatly in hits favour, yet he was guilty or the ci ime of manslaughiter, and the Court would deal ixidi him 'cording to the favourable circumstances of the c 4 Se. The Jury retired, and returned, after :t1 absence of above two hours, and delivered a verdict—Not Gniity: George Otven was indicted for committing a burglary. in the house of Mr. J. Purchis Paine, in Hi4h• street, St. Giles's. The prosecutor is a watchmaker; on tie night of the qin D:cember, about sit o'clock in the evening. he was in a parlour which adjoins his shop, and heard the breaking of glass; he ran into the shops and fount , a window had been broken, and a watch taken. Oa the outside of the window, -the prisoner and swot her man stood ; the prosecutor seized, them, and called for as sistance; a scuffle ensued, and from the person of the prisoner dropped a watch, the property of the prosecu tor, which he picked up. The companion of the pri soner escaped. The Jury foutid the prisoner Guilty Death, aged 18. The prosecutor recommended him to mercy on account of this being his first offence, of the contrition he had shewn since his confinement, aud'of his youth. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, JAN. 17. Joseph Wise, a common- informer, and William Jef ferson, his witness, were indicted for a conspiracy to de fraud Thomas Greenfield, a stage coachman. Mr. Auaav stated the case for the prosecution. By - the Stage-coach Act, every coachman was liable to a , penalty of 40t. for every ,outside passenger more than ten. The charge against the prisoners was, that they conspired to charge the prosecutor with carrying one outside passenger more than was allowed by law. Wise was the informer, and Jefferson was his witness ; and on the 6th of October, Jefferson, in support of the infor mation of Wise, swore that on the 24th of September, the prosecutor had carried elevep passengers on the out side of his coach in Piccadilly. The coach was at the time going - out of town, and it was the practice of these informers, to lay their informatiouagainst coaches going into the country, in the expectation that _the witnesses, who could disprove their false statements would not be brought to town when the case was heard. At Bow street, however, there were sufficient witnesses to con tradict the prisoners; and the complaint was dismissed. He would call his witnesses, andithe o lary would decide on their evidence. Mr. Harmer, the Solicitor, stated, that he attended at , Bow -street, on behalf of the prosecutor, on the 6th of. October ; he told both the defendants, before the case was gone into, that there must be some mistake, its he bad witnesses to prove there were but ten passengers on the coach ; they both persisted in saying they. had counted the eleven paskengers. The case was gone into, Mr. Harmer examined witnesses, and the complaint was dismissed. Wise said he had particularly desited Jef= ferson to count the passengers, as somebody would come and swear there were but nine; he never before saw Jefferson give evidence at any Police Office. Mr. PRENDERGART addressed the Jury . for the pri soners, and argued that they must have been, mistaken in the fact. Mr. Vicary gave Jefferson a good 'character ; he never knew tsim to be in any way connected with in formations against stage coaches. . Mr. Stafford, chief. clerk of • Bow-street Office, also gave Jefferson a good character. The CHAIRMAN charged the Jury that the question ;was not whether the prisoners had been in error on the fact, for of that there had been. no doubt ; but-whether they had conspired to charge the prosecutor falsely ? It was as possible that common informers might be mis taken, as that other men might ; but from the nature of their employment their errors were generally consi dered crimes. If the Jury supposed the prisoners were mistake*, they would acquit them, although there could. be no doubt the charge they had made was notfounded in fact. The Jury,witbout a monseashesitation, found both dm prisoners Guilty. !.. ( • The CHAIRMAN said the Court must take timutti consider the sentence. • 'FROM THE OBSERVER OF .YESTERDAY.- 44 The.
