COURT OF CHANCERY, APRIL 27. 114 TIIE MATTER OF Slit GREGORY PAGE TURNER. Mr. Tnitst.ova ap i lied on the p;art of Sir Gregory Page Turner, that lie might be at li . ..:erty to see at all proper times Mr. Davidson, as his solicitor, who pur poses to conduct the traverse of this incrii,ition fin- Sir Gregory. This professional Gentleman has twice been, permitted to have an interview with Sir Gregory, but I the Marshal of the King's Bench Prison, has now le fused to admit him any mote, unless by an order from his Lordship. Mr. PnILLIbIORE appeared for the Committee of the teal estate, and Ater stating a few circumstances which have been t.ften stated befo►e, he conduced by saying it appeared that Mr. Davidson was not known to Sir Gregory until a very few days ago, when he was sup posed to have been recommended to him by Mr. Tho mas; and if his Lordship permitted Mr. Davidson to attend Sir Gregory, and to go on with this traverse, which two different Solicitors have already declined (af-. ter undertaking), he hoped that that Gentleman would be put upon terms to proceed without delay. His LORDSHIP said, as by the Act of Parliament, Sir Gregory was clearly entitled to traverse if :Te thought :prol•er, if he was inclined to do so, he could get Mr. Davidson, or any other Gentleman, to conduct the tra verse for him ; and it was unreasonable to suppose that that Gentleman should not have ample access to Sir Gregory, which access he would now order to Mr. Da vidson ; and after he has for a short time enjoyed it, he may be able to say how soon lie well can proceed with the traverse, which was most desirable should be soon. COURT OF KING'S 132NC11, APRIL t 7. STOCKDALE V. TURLEY. This was an action to recover damares for a nuisance, Mr. C. PHILLIPS stated the case. Ile plaintiff, Mr, Stockdale, a bookseller, has resided for four or five years in a house at Kensington, which he rents from Mr. Lad broke. The defendant is a farmer, who occupies about two hundred acres of land, near the plaintiff's premise;, and whose farm-yard adjoins them. The defendant tame into the possession of the fat m about six months ago, and ever since that time Mr. Stockdale had to complain of several nuisances, of an offensive, and some of them of as indelicate nature. The defendant heaped up his manure to the height of eight or nine feet, im mediately opposite Mr. Stockdale's dining-room win dows ; during all !lotus of the night the family were disturbed by the noise of cows and men, and horns blowing ; but this was not the worst: there mere other nuisances, too indelicate to be mentioned, which some times prevented the females of the family not only from going into the yard belonging to the house, but they could not even sit in the back r ooms, wtach looked into the defendant's fat rn• yard, where bulls and The were occasionally kept fur particular purposes.— The eve o f the defendant's barn overhangs the wall of plaintiff's garden, and the defendant was obliged to keep the gutter of the ham in repair. He permitted it to go out of repair, and in comeqiience the rain water overflowed the gutter, and ritined the apricot trees which were beneath them. Each of these nuisances might not in itself seem of importance, but accumulated they were sufficient to render residence in the plaintiff's house extremely uncomfortable. The fact was, the de fendant was anxious to get the house himelf, which formerly belonged to the farm, and he ct eated the nui sances in question for the purpose of driving the plaintiff out of it.—The facts having been proved in evidence, Mr. SCARLET?, for the defendant, said, that instead of his seeking for the plaintiff's house, it was the plain tiff who wished to get the defendant's farm. Mr. Stuck dale wished to get ground for building, near his own house, having, it seems, no other mode at present, in the absence of all foreign loans, for laying out his capi tal. lie did not succeed as he wished, in getting any portion or the defendant's farm; and in order to render his occupation of it unpleasant, he brought the present action, and threatened another. The Learned Course! endeavoured to shew that Mr. Stockdale, when he took the house, well knew that the neighbouring yard be longed to the farm, and was to be used as a farm yard, wid that the nuisances complained of were to be met ith in every farm yard, and that none hut persons wholly used to a town life would ever think of com plaining of them. He called no evidence. me LORD CHIEF JUSTICE told the Jury that no an swer was given to the case, and they found for the plaintiff in nominal damages. BRISTOL ASSIZES. THE RING, ON THE PROSECUTION OF JOHN W II,DPON, V. PIARK HOWELL AND DAVID LLEWELLIN, FOR PERJURY. Iwo bills of indictment were sent up to the Grand Jury against the defendants: the Grand Jury, however, ignored both bills. When the Grand Jury returned the bill into Com t against David Ltewellin, and whilst the Clerk of the Arraigns was looking into the indictment for the name of the deferriant, the Foreman said—l. It is-against Mark Howell." The Clerk of the Arraigns answered—" David Llewellin, Gen tlemen." A Grand Juror—The bill is against them jointly. Mr. lie itmcss then appealed to Mr. Walker, the prosecutor's So licitor, to know against whom the indictment in reality was? Mr. Walker—lt appears that the Grand Jury do nut understand the indictineiq. It is against David Llewellin alone. His Lordship called tar the indictment; and, after as certaining against, whom it had been preferred, said, " Gentlemen, this indictoient is against David Llewellin singly. Would you wish to revise your decision?" The Jury declined the proposed revision, and the in dictment was received as ignored. After this, Mr. STOE:KING, as Coumel for the prosecution, :fated to the Recorder that he had a motion to make of rather an extraordinary nature.- In making it he felt that much difficulty arose out of its novelty ; he felt also consi derable pain in submitting it to his Lordship, because the motion might appear to be grounded on an assump tion th.it the Grand Jury had not discharged their duty. Lord Girrnitn.—Mr. Stocking, I cannot sit here to try the Grand Jury. What is the nature of your motion? Mr. giocktsta.—My Lerd, 1 will state to your Lordship the substance of the affidavit on which my mntion is grounded. The affidavit sets forth that the indictment . against flo - well was scnt to the Grand Jury with the names of 12 witnesses on the back of it ; that the Grand Jury have ignored the bill,l,:av'mg six of those wit . nesse.; unexamined, which witnesses are sworn to be material ones; my motion, therefore, is, that yo•tr Lordship will send the bill for reconsideration to the Grand Jury. Lord Gam:ars—Nit% Stocking, did you ever hear of such a mu tinn as this? !lave you my precedent? Mr. STocasNo—My Lord, 1 in ver heard of :in occasion requiring such a motion. Lord Girroan—l am dearly of opinion that I cannot grant your motion. I cammt sit here to try whether the Grand Jury have done their duty or not. I put it to your own good sense whe ther I can entertain such a motion as this? _ Mr. STOCKING.—f Iy Lord, when my client first consulted me on the subject of this motion, I certainly was embarrasstd by its no velty. 1 had much doubt whit was the proper course of proceed ing ; but after tile best consideration that I can give the subject, I feel tortifiej in the conviction that I am nut taking an improper course. 1 will not, my Lord, impute to the Grand Jury corrupt motives; for I am loth to cast on•a body of respectable individuals an imputation which would accuse them not only of a breach or ditty, but of a violation of their oaths. But I submit to your Lord ship, that through accident or mistake the Grand Jury may have omitted to examine those six witnesses who have remained with out examination, anti that, on this ground, your Lordship may re quest them to recon,ider their bill. Lord Girrosin.—l am clearly of opinion that I can do no such thing. Mr. Slocxtria.—Then, my Lord, my client is left without a remedy. Loid Gieromx—No, not without a remedy: yott may prefer your Lill at the next Sessions. Mr. STOCKING.—Of such a remedy, my Lord, I may say, as was once said on another occasion—that it is worse than the disease. Suppose it possible that from prejudice, arising from local circum stancec or otherwise, Grand Juries may be unwilling to discharge their duties, it would be only for Grand Juries to do as had been done this day, and we may prefer bills of indictment for ever. The present Grand Jury have omitted to examine six witnesses, who my client swears are material witnesses ; the Grand Jury at the Sessions may do the same thing; so that we may be banded over from Ses• stuns to Sessions, ad injoitunt. Lord Girvonn.— lam quite clear that T ans bound to refuse your motion. As I have said before, I cannot sit here to try the Grand Jury. You can show no precedent ; and you are not without re-' medy for the injury you may have sustained. If you choose you may prefer your bill again. Mr. &Tom:res.—Theo, my Lord, I will advise my client to take a second bill before the Grand Jut y. Lord GIFFORD.—I shall nut keep the Grand Jury waiting for your clkot's bill. Hi; Lordship then, after a short pause, thanked the Grand July for their services and discharged them. CHESTER.-WRECK OF THE 11ORNBY_BRIG.. John Roberts, of Llandridno, was indicted for having, on the 24th of February, stolen a quantity of woollen cloth, the property of the owners of the brig Hornby. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said, that on the 21 of January last, the brig Hornby, of Liverpool, bound to Rio Janeiro, was wrecked off the Great Ormshead, and all on board perished, one man only excepted. The cargo was worth 70,0001. The mildest course which could be pursued was adopted by the prosecutors in this case; but it was the determination of the merchants, if any vessels should unfortunately be rubbed, and similar ex cesses be committed, to indict the offenders capitally, in which case they will have to pay for the offence with their lives. Mr. Fidler, of Liverpool, proved the loss of the vessel, and the nature of the cargo. Owen Jones, a tidewaiter, was put in possession of the vessel on the 3d of January. Mr. Lloyd Roberts, clerk to the attorney for the pro secution, proved, that in February last, he was em ployed in gett;ng information relative to the property which had been stolen from the vessel. On the 24th of February, about nine o'clock at night, in company with a Mr. Harris, near Talsain-gate, they met a man who proved to be the prisoner at the bar. He had a bag on his back, which he said contained flour, but on stopping him and examining the contents, it proved to be woollen cloth ; the pi isoner prevaricated in two or three instances. Mr. Ackers, of Liverpool, said he took possession of the wreck and cargo. He believed the woollen cloth found on the prisoner to be pelt of the cargo. The prisoner did not make an) defence ; but called several witnesses to his chai acter. Mr. I3adcock said, lie was agent to Sir Thomas MoAy, and the prisoner's character was unusually good. Cross-examined.— Ile was not at home when the ship wreck took place; and when he returned he did not in • terfere about saving the property. Witness did refuse to give Mr. Boardnian any assistance in securing the ptoperty,and knew that some of his servants had actually concealed part of the propel ty stolen on his premises. Witness was asked whether he had given notice thereof to any Vice-Admiral, or any pro i 3er authority ? Ile de clined answering this question. The COURT said the conduct of the witness had been most disgraceful. In answer to a question from the Bench, witness said he was a Cheshireman. This answer the CHIEF JUSTICE said had censidei ably relieved him. Mr. Richard Hughes, keeper of Conway Ferry-house, said he had long known the prisoner, whose conduct had always been good. Cross-examined.—He had seen a nu-nber of persons passing his house, carrying away property from the wreck, but did not attempt to prevent them, because it was no business of his. The Couter.—lt was your business so to do as an honest man. The witness was asked, did he not say to the pi isoner,when he was brought into his house in custody, " What a foal you've been for not going across the fields as I wanted you, for I told you Roberts and Harris were coining!" The witne s hesitated to answer the question, when the CHIEF JU S TICE said, if the an swer was not given, he would commit him. At last witness acknowledged that he had said so. Mr. Phillips, of Penlyn, gave the prisoner a good character; hut on his cross-examination admitted that he had seen many persons carrying away the property, but did not attempt to prevent them, because it was no' business of his. The prisoner was found (.uilty, and 'Fhe CHIEF JUSTICE observed, that the conduct of Badcock was most disgraceful; he was a At subject far prosecution. Win. Davies, and eight other prisoners, were then in. dieted for the same offence, and were convicted, and te ceived sentence of imprisonment for varions periods.

Tiis case, which had excited very great interest, came on to-day at the sitting of the Court. The B.:rich was unusually full of Magistrates. Lord bacae sat as Chairman. Mr..lEssoP stared the case.—lt was, he said, a case that had excited deep interest, and cell deseried the most serious consideration of the Jut y. The defendant was a tieatleman, a professor of music, living in very respectable society, and he was there to answer for a gross, unprovoked, and cruel assault upon the prosecu trix, who was an aged pauper.' BUt though - now a pauper, she had seen better days, and had been in the habit of selling at different houses of respectability little articles of dress and otnament. She had been long paruniaed- by Mr. Clutterbuck's family, who had lived in the house which the defendant occupied at the time the assault was committed, where she had always been treated with hospitality and kindness. On the '29th of March last year, she called at that house with some of her little articles for sale, and as was her cus tom, went to the back door, thinking at the time that Mr. Clutterbuck lived there not receiving any answer at the back dour, she went round to the front door ; the defendant was at that time clipping a hedge in his garden, near the house. During the few moments the prosecutrix stood at the front door, something was said to her by a person in the house, which she did not dis tinctly hear, to which she made some reply ; a person at that moment came behind her, and she instantly te ceived a dreadful blow on one of her legs; she instantly fell, andfainted, and on recovering her senses, found she WAS unable to stand, that the two bones of her leg were broken. One would suppose, that had it been even the effect of accident, the defendant would have done all in his power to afford relief to the unhappy sufferer ; but he (Mr. Jessop) was sorry to state, that without affording the least relief to the victim of this cruel and barbarous outrage, the defendant only sent fur a constable to have her removed. When the constable came, and saw the state in which the pro secutrix was, he told the defendant it was a case in which he could not interfere, as he could do nothing with a broken leg. He understood it would be said in defence, that the injury done to the prosecutrix was the effect of accident ; that the defendant only pushed her away from his door, and that she was intoxicated and fell, which caused the fracture of both the bones of her leg. But it would be proved that that was impos sible; if the fracture had been accidental, it would have been transverse, but in this case the fracture was oblique, which could only have been caused by a blow ; besides which there were two wounds on the leg, one of which bled profusely at the time, and neither of the bones had pierced the skin, which proved that the wounds were the consequence of external violence. In this state the prosecutrix was removed by the officers of the parish of Bushy, in which the defendant lived, and she temained nine weeks under their care; during a part of which time her life was considered in imminent danger, and she was attended by Magistrates, who took her deposi tions, and had she then died, the defendant would have to answer for a capital crime. He was sorry to have to state that until her depositions were taken by the Magistrates, the defendant did not even make any in quiry after her state, nor had he ever given her any as sistance, though he knew his hand had inflicted the cala mity under which she was suffering. As soon as the prosecutrix was capable of being removed, she was sent to her own parish of St. Andrew's, Holborn, under an order made for that purpose, and they had paid the parish of Bushy, 301. for the expenses incurred. Mary Fowles, the prosecutrix, who appeared to be about sixty years of age and almost blind, deposed to the facts of the case as stated by Mr. Jessop. After going to the house of the defendant, where she thought Mr. Cluttet buck still lived, she stated the defendant came up and snuck her with a sharp instrument on her leg, when she fell. Cross-examined by Mr. BRODRICK.--The story I have now told is the same in effect I have always told ; I stated to the Magistrates that I thought it was a scythe I saw under the defendant's arm ; I never said I was mowed down like grass by a scythe ; I did not say I was desired by the defendant to go away; I said he mut tered something which might mean to go away.—Did you ever perform at a Theatre ?—I have performed on the amphitheatre of life, and am now performing the part of Timothy Rag, in my own clothes. Several other witnesses were examined for the prose cution, when Mr. BIIODRICK rose for the defence. He contended that the story of the prosecutrix was extravagant and improbable, and that he would prove she was intoxi cated when the accident happened. Several witnesses were examined for the defence, some of whom swore that the prosecutrix was drunk on the day in question, and that she was very a b us i ve . The most respectable evidence was given of the hu manity of the defendant, by g endemett who had known him many years. Mr. Cobley, a surgeon, stated, that a fall, in a person of the age of the prosecutrit, Was likely to cause an oblique fracture. Lord Dacne charged the Jury, who, after consulting a quarter of an hour, returned a verdict of ot The. 20th instant, N,). 19,412, was drawn a Prize of X 20,000 ! and the Public will not tail to recollect the numbers of the two last Twenty Thousands drawn the 17th of March, had both been drawn Blanks 19th of February, being the First Day of Drawing ; and the holders of those Tickets were fortunate enough to take the Second Day's Chance, and thus realize Fortunes, in lieu of the trifling Sums they would have received had they rtturned them instead of making such a fortunate election.

Tri/liamJahosou, aged about 50, was put to the bar, charged with committing a most daring burglary in the dweliing-house of Mrs. Smith, widow, of Chapel-court, Carey-street, ahout four o'clock in the afternoon. The prisoner bad the audacity to delberattly go into the house, break open the locks of three doors in different rooms, ransack the drawers of every article worth taking away, atol then coolly walk down.

A sporting sweepstakes match took place yesterday morning be tween Captain Swaine and Messrs. Arbuthnot and Cleaver fey twenty-five sovereigns a-side. The ground was from Thoro, near Chertsey, to Maidenhead Thicket, a distance of about twelve miles. The horsemen kept the road until they crossed the liagshot. road, when they made the straightest direction across the country, leaving the King's Dog kennel on the left, mid they parted on this part of the Forest. Mr. Arbuthnot again got into the road to the westward of NVinkfield Plain, and passed the church. The three were in sight on taking across the enclosures again, over a difficult country. After many haz..rdous leaps ' Mr. Arbuthnot, on his mare Fury, reached the Bath-road, on M aidenhead Thicket, first ; Captain Swaine was second, in about three minutes after the winner; and Mr. Cleaver pulled up two miles from home. The winner performed the distance in forty-six minutes. SPARRING. Vie Fives' Court was yesterday graced with a Marquis, Lords, M.l'.'s, and Corinthians of ‘,lliOllS shades. It was a meeting for the benefit of Bitton, the Jew veteran. The sets-to were not only abundant, hut the matches were well regulated, as follows: The first was between Baldwin and Tnn f)liver.—A manly one, Vslth equal advantages, rough and smooth, until the piper appeared, and settled the bout. Reid, the conqueror of Cooper, the C.yp-cy, made a good set-to, and had the best of Seabrook. His skill, b mired by manhood, was decisively advantageous. Peter Warren and Cobham had a manly hoot, but the former had too much ring practice at his amuley's ends. Barney Aaron, the brave little Jew, aid Deaf Davis.—This was the best bout of the day. Barney was obliged to be on the strict look out for an undeniable customer. Sonic striking features. of science were exemplified, and Harney closed it with best. Ruin, the nephew of Ben, and a promising young aspirant, full of youth and strength, set-to with another a stone man as gocd as himself, and what was short in science was made up by resolution. Aby &Loco and O'Neil gave much satisfaction by most scientific movements. The parries were masterpieces of skill. .Shelton and a Lite Guardsman.—This was a display which showed strength, and youth had no chalice at glove work scien. tifically displayed. Button am! Richmond wound up the sports in a good set-to, and the amateurs bolted quite satisfied. JOSH. HUDSON AND SA NIPSON, THE BIRMINGHAM MAN. After the Fives' Court Exhibition, some of the amateurs mus tered at Jack Randall'', over eubstartiAl wear and Plat. for the palate, subsequently to which the whole of the bat:le money, 1011 sove reigns, was deposited for the fight between these first-tate men, on the 11th of May, Heavy stakes were betted on the event, begin ning with five to four or, the gallant and leaving off at more than six to four. It vela be a very interesting combat. The mortality this Spring at Dover has been unusually great; on Saturday last them was no less than 19 per sons lying dead and unburied. Yesterday a Meeting of the Magistrates of the County of Surrey took place at Ilyegate, w I Mr.B ittscoE again attacked the Tread- wheel, and stated, that prisoners were occasionally chained mid handcuffed to the wheel. This charge was rebutted by a great number of the Magistrates, amocg whom were the two Members for the County. It appeared that two soldiers who were imprisoned had mutinied and violently assaulted the jailer nod his turnkey, and that these furious fellows, who had in fact threatehed to tip up a 9 who had the superintendance of the pris,ai, were, on that occasion, as well as on account of having refused to work, and having rent their beds, handcuffed to the wheel. A vote WAS passed arprOsing of the jailer's condo t, and Mr. Illitscoe gave notice that he should submit a motion on the suhject.of the ti ead-v.dieel upon a ((stare occasion.
