(3) The Rerulaiton. L.IIV INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, AUGUST 9. stAYnovr V. RAYBOLT. The Plaintiff is heir at I.tw of Thomas Coofisher Raybolt, and the Defendant is the widow of that Gentleman. The Defendant had brought (carrot aftions in ejeament againft the Plaintiff, and the prayer of the prefent bill was for an Injunaion againft thefe proceedings at law. Mr. Romney, for the Plaintiff, Paid, that the hif tory of the tranfaaions to which the prefent applica tions to the Court referred, were very extraordinary. The Defendant pallid, formerly, under the appella tion of Hancox, having lived with a perfon of that name; but whether the was contraaed in the ho. nourable bands of matrimony, on whether it was a lets authorifed connellion, it was not neceffary to de termine. It teems this Lady had contrafted an af feftion for the Gentleman in Worteaerffiire, whom this Plaintiff reprefented. On the death of Mr. Han cox, regardlefs of thofe ceremonies which the habits of fociety have ellabliffied, the wrote a letter to Thomas Coomber Raybolt, in the following terms: a Dear Sir—Yon will he furprifed zt hearing from a porton of wham you, perhaps, recoiled nothing, and with whom sou hive had uo intercourfe for a to ry long period of timedluThe Public Papers will, perhaps, have informed you, that Mr. Haueox. with whom I was allied, is lately dead, sod you arc now Ppprifed, tint it will be a peculiar gratification to me, if you fhould favour me with an aufwer to the intimation this knot is intended to convey. My addrels is at No. 90, Edward-row, Paddington. Your's, Ste. " ANNL gANCOX." This letter was in itfelf rcrnarkable, but the ins prtffion it produced was yet more unexpefted. The poor man was fo dittutbed at its reception, and the angularity of its contents, that he fent it to his At torney. The Attorney perufed the letter, looked contemplative, Paid it was cf a very fufpicious charac ter, and recommended to his client to take no notice of it. It this lituation of fufpenfe, matters remain ed for a very fhort interval ; in a few days a carriage flopped at the door, from which a lady alighted, who was received with the civility to which a (hanger was entitled, until the motive of her' vifit was ex. plaint/ Some little telaircipterst took place, which was fo diffatisfaamy to Mr. Raybolt, that he again had iecourfe to his profeffional friend. In the mean time birs. liancox took up her refidence at his houfe, and, with very great difficulty, lee lved from this coy gentleman what was due to her lex by the laws of hofpitality. The Solicitor nor his principal could urge any arguments fufficiently forcible to induce the lady to quit the dwelling. A confultation was then held among his friends, on the difficult and delicate lituation into which he was thrown by this fair in truder. The influence of numbers produced the ef fea which difappointed the efforts of cold reafoning, and at left the lady left the manfion. She, however, did not.proceed far ; (he obtained apartments in the neighbourhood, and Mr. Raybolt was under conti nual apprehentions of fume new attack. His fears were not ill founded; the carriage again drove up to the door, but the lady on this occafion was not un attended, as fbe had been on the former occafinn.— This gentleman laboured under the calamity of fn . quest parosyfms of infinity, and a keeper conftantly attended upon his perfon. Mrs. Hancox was of a temper too adventurous to be impeded by fuch an op ponent ; a man armed with a piftol accompanied her; the weapon was applied to the head of the keeper, and the unfortunate captive was reigned.— He was forced to afccnd the Reps of the carriage ; the driver was prepared with his intim/lion', and the itinerants loon difappeared. During the alsfence of the Gentleman, he was united in the folemn ties of wedlock with his fellow-traveller ; they loon return. ed. all the fervants were inftantly difcharged, all the fyflem of economy was immediately changed ; and that a fuitable publicity might be given to their mar riage, the awful rites were again performed. After thefe ceremoniah, the ardour of her attach ment began to abate, and the difpofed of him in the mo!t rational way—the fent him to a mad houfe.— Afterwards, are would nut admit the impreffions of private affeftion to interfere with the advantage he derived from retirement and folitude, and he never returned to his houfe, excepting at Midfummer and Chriftmas, not to join in the feftivkies of the feafons, but to fign the receipts of his tenants, that the pro duce of his eflates might devolve into the hands of the lady. It was not the felicity of this marriage to be (succeeded by any progeny, and in the year 5804 the gentleman died. The fame difcretion Mrs. Ray bolt had employed in ether refpeas, was equally confpicunus in the will of the deceafed. He left the whole of his property to his dear Iv y& All the ellates and all the perfonal property, were conveyed to her for life. In this lituatiun of things, Mr. Thomas Raybols, for whom he (the Learned Counfel) ap peared, had taken poffellion of the eftate. In conk * uence of this Rep, numerous aftions of ejeament had been commenced, and Mrs. Raybolt having poffef fion of all the deeds and inftruments by 'Which the rights of the heir were to be fupported, reference was now had to the Court of Equity, to procure the de pofit of the deeds, and to obtain the appointment of a receiver of the rents and profits under the authority of the Court. Vat itms quellions were connefted with the prefent bill of difcovery : the firft was, the Cane, or infant condition of the • Defunft at the time when various deeds were executed, recognized in the will: next, if the teftator were cm** mentit, at the time of the fettlement of the jointure : thirdly, if he was fo at the period when he made his will. The debts due from the deceafed amounted to about 70001. The ' Court would at Ina interfere to impound the perfo nal effeas, %ill the claims of the creditors were slit ch irged. A will was made prior to his lag tefta mcnt, and as early as the year 1785 ; the teftator was then of found mind, and his property ought to be difpofed . of according to the direftions in that inftrtinient, which was now before the Eccletiallical Court. Mr. RICHARDS, for the the Defendant, Paid, that I this application was one of the molt extraordinary ever made in a Court of Equity. It had two oh ' jeas ; the one was an injunftion to obarua the proceedings at law ; the other was the appointment of a Receiver, under the fanftion of his Lordfhip. Perhaps it was the &ft inttance of the nomination of a receiver being fought by the perfon who was him felf in poffealon, and himfell, of courfe, the receiver. A very pleafant (tory was told ; many particulars of which, however, were wholly unfupported in the alle gations in the bill. Whether thefe fats were.related for • the amufement of the Court, or whether they had any . foundation of truth, the learned Counfel had no means to difcoter. The bill was. Mad on the 24th of July laft, the fubpccna was ferved on the loth of the fame month ; three hundred fheets were to be perufed, containing an infinity of averments to be i anfwered by parties now reading in Staffordfhire and it was impoffible, by this time, to prepare a re ply that would be fatisfadory to the Court, whatever Igrofs and palpable falfehoods might be obtruded on its files. The rule of the Court, on a fubjed of this kind, had been lung eilablilhed ; it wouldnot flay a trial at law, but in confequence of a former Rep, flaying proceedings at law generally, the ejeament was brought two months fume ; and it was to be rob ftruaed on this rx park Itatement. The Learned Counfel was provided, however, with one affidavit, by which it appeared that the will, inflead or being wholly formed by the Defendant, as had been inti maed, merely put in effea deeds of the year 1792, copies of which were communicated to the Defen dant two years afterwards. It was abfurd to attempt to interpofe with refpea to the faits at law ; the ob. jet of theft fuits was to decide precifely what the - Plaintiff walled to be determined if the deeds, in the firil inflance, were void ; fecondly, if the will were vitiated : there mutt be referred to a Jury, and no opportunity c: old be more beneficial to all parties than that which was now afforded for the determi- I nation With regard to the perfonal came, the Court might think tit to interpofe, and the Defen dant would be difpofed to raife no objedion to its in terpofition. The Loan CHANCELLOR—" lithe heir at law had Rated that the deeds were out of his poffeffron, he would have had claim to a difcovery of what was neceffary to the fupport of his title. He would have a right alto to be inflruded on all the circumaances under whiz!' the will in 'quellion was obtained It has been laid that the Plaintiff is in poi:Aft:ion ; but the cafe has this fingularity—that nobody feems in poffetlion, for the tenants withhold the rents from both parties. It is admitted, that a conteft at this time prevails in the Ecclefiaaical Court, during which a receiver mull of need:thy be appointed, and then the Court is to confider if this be not that kind of blended cafe, in which it will not permit that the trial at law fbould proceed, until the parties are pro perly prepared. If the Defendant should obtain a verdia, it is highly probable that this Court would not admit it to Rand, for the Plaintiff might meet with difficulties in the way of his title, which he could not remove, and nothing but a Court of Equi. ty could, under the circumaances, acquire for him a fecund trill. Suppofe when the anfwer to the bill than appear, that it fhould be evident your ejeament was well brought, the Court will in that cafe have railed no obarnaion it cannot remove ; for it will be in its power to leliver over to the Def endant imme diate poffeffion. Upon the whole, I thistle it isA floe. cial cafe, to which an anfwer fhould be put in before a verdia is found. The confideration of Goa: may be teferved." rORKSIIIRE SUMMER ASSIZES. Frauds Barcelona flood charged with having mur dered George Plummer, the keeper of the Houfe of Corration at Beverley, by finking him on the head with milk pot, of which wound he languillied for feveral days, and then died. The Connfel for the Profecntion opened the cafe by tieing that the prifoner (a native of Italy) was, in the month of June laft, committed as a vagrant, . , to the Houfe of Correftion at Beverley, and Amu during his confinement he manifefted proofs of ex treme impatience. The Counfel then proceeded to gate the fafts developed in the following evidence: William Hatter, the firlt witnefs, raid, that the prifoner was committed in June to the Houfe al Correllinn, and that, on the 24th of the fame month, , Mr. Plummer visited him in his cell ; that the pri foner, during his vifit, behaved in a molt outrageous manner, holding a tub towards the deceafed in a threatening manner, but did not aflually alLult him. The witnefs proceeded to nate, that about two o'clock the fame day, the deceafed again vilited the prifoner, who, as loon as he Taw Mr. Plummer enter the cell, threw at him, with great violence, a milk rot, which (truck him on the head, and knocked bun on the ground : the prifoner then feixed n pair of iron tongs, and ran' towards Mr. Plummer, with an in tention, as the witnefs fuppofed, of Itriking him as he lay un the ground, but WAS fecured by the wis nefs before he could etre& his purpofe. He further added, that previous to this alfault, Mr. Plummer was in a good (tare of health. Thomas Cooper was then called, and depofed, that he was beadle for the town of Beverley, and was fent for to the Houfe of Correflion on the 24th cf June, and on his arrival found Mr. P. bleeding from a wound in the head, and that Mr. Plummer defined him to put the prifoner in irons, which lie ac cordingly did. Mr. - Henry Gill, furgeon, was next examined, and (hated, that on the 24th of June Lilt he was call ed in to attend Mr. Plumtner, whom be found bleed- ing very confiderably, in confequence of a fevere cut in the head ; but that, upon examining the wound, it did not appear in the halt dangerous ; on the contrary, it continued to exhibit every favourable appearance, until the third day, when fymptoms of a paralyfis began to manifeft themfelves, and the l diforder continuing to increafe, terminated in his death, on Sunday, the 7th of July. The Junos here inquired of the witnefs, if he fupy pefed the death of the decesled was occafioned by the woumi in the head ? to which be replied,,that it was not ; but that the paralylls was produced 4,F. concuffion in the brain, occafioned by the frill, Ilia, Lordfhip here interfered,. and (aid, that 'it ,pas cei-6 dent the indifttrient could not be fiabltanti4ted, as Mr. Plommer's death was, in the indiatneilt, de clared to be -occafioned by a mottal wound infliaed hy"the prifoner with an earthen pot, which' hvei ment was completely removed by the evidence trf the furgeon ; indeed, if the death of the deceafed Should have been proved to be occalloned by the wound, it would not have 'amounted to more than man flanghter t, and the heavielt puniflunent the law in this cafe inflifts, is a year's imprifonrnent.— But, Mould the prisoner be acquitted, as he mutt be of courfe, his violent and outrageous behaiiour.ren'- dered it unfafe fur him to be at large; he fhould, there foie, order him to be detained until he etmld 'find fureties for his future peaceable behaviour ;and,inthe prefent'innance, there would be eofailtde &Mau tial jullice.
