'lllr LAW INTELLIGENT E. COURT Ur CHANCERY, Masai S. wat,Lestte V. 7111 S DOSS OS SZAVSORT. The Arroftaav-Gastatm. called the attention of the" Court to a petition which had been presented to Lord Eldon, bnt on which his Lordship had made no order. The petition prayed that George Wright be ordered to give up possession of two farms, called Draycote-house -I:arm and Seagrim Farm; also that the said George . Wright he ordered to deliver up the key of the strong Jr . - room in Draycite.house. The petition moreover prayed - that George Wright should b.: ordered to pay, within the space of a week, the value of three bucks, which it was alleged that he had killed, or in default of such payment, that he should be committed to the Fleet. The petition concluded by praying that it might he refeited to the Master to fie an occupation rent fin the said farms, since the death of Mrs. Wel lesley. The circumstances nut of which the petition arose were these: Mrs. Wellesley was tenant for life of the Draycote estates, which after her death de scended to her eldest sons in tail, being also charged with portions to her younger children of &OW. each. During the lifetime of Mrs. Wellesley, Mr. Wright, as bailiF of this property, was allowed to occupy the' Draycote-hotist Farm rent-free, and to tenant the farm called Seagrim Farm at the rent of 961. a year, which was considerably below its real value. Mrs. Wellesley having died in 1825, a receiver (Mr. Audrey) was ap p inted by the Court early in the year 1826. Mr. Audrey served Mr. W tight with a copy of the order for his appointment to the office of receiver; told him that all the tenants should attorn and pay rent to him, and in the end demanded possession of Wright, which the latter . _ refused. Mr. TRESLOVC, on the same side, went over the facts of the case, and observed that it was not intended to press that part of the prayer of the petition which related to the delivery of the key, and the pay ment for the bucks. Mr. Holls2 (with whom was Mr. Beams), appeared f Mr. Wright, and contended that his client bad no right to deliver up possessiOn to any but his master, Ms. Wellesley. Mr. Wright had offered to ;torn to the infant tenant in possession, but no notice bad been taken of that offer. The Learned Counsel contended that if such a petition as this were to be presented at all, it ought to have been presented against Mr. Wellesley, and not against Mr. Wright. Besides this, the petition prayed that an occupation rent might be fired for Dray cote-house farm, although Mr. Wright had been allowed to hold it rent-free. After a few words from the Arroaxrt-Gentaat.. The Loan Cuatrcetcoa said that Mr. Wright could be no servant of Mr. Wellesley. as far as this estate was concerned, inasmuch as Mr. Wellesley's interest in it ceased at the death of his wife. All perbons holding over after the expiration of their tenancies were wrong doers. His Lordship granted the prayer of the Petition for the delivering up of the Draycote-house farm, and ordered.that Mr. Wright should account for the rent of gear-int farm, at 961. a year, from the death of Mrs. Wellesley up to the time at which the receiver made his demand. ♦ICE CHANCELLOWS COURT, atoms 4.

The prosecutor deposed, that be was a day labourer, and was in the habit, on going to his work of a morn ing, of taking with him a quantity of provisions suffi ciao% to last the day. These were got ready for him over night by his wife. and put in a place where be could conveniently get at them. On the 2d July he got op as usual, and went out, taking with his a black currant pudding, which he found set apart for hies ; his wife had previously told him that she had . made such a pudding for him. After working some time, he sat down to breakfast off the pudding, of which he ate hearty, but shortly after found himself dreadfully at tacked in the bowel:. He was in consequence obliged to leave his work, and return home. He told his wife what be felt, and she appeared to be much surprised and concerned. She went for a doctor by his desire. The doctor, Mr. Irving. arrived shortly lifer; be examined the pudding, on being told the manner in which wit ness bad been attacked. and pronounced it to contain poison. Witness, by his directions, was removed to the poor-house, where he remained very ill for nine days. Mr. Irving took the pudding away with him. His wife was not taken into custody till several days atter the transaction. By the Janos—No previous quarrel had taken place between his and his wife. He had several children by her. Mr. Thomas Wiggins, the employer of the proseen ti r. proved that he was taken ill in the manner he bad described after eating of the pudding. Mr. David Miller, assistant Overseer of Mayfield, proved that in consequence of the suspicion which was est ited,te searched the prosecutor's house, and found a quantity of blue stone. The prisoner told his she kept it as an saddens against the bleeding of the nose, to which her children were subject. She admitted having made the podding herself. Mr. Irving, surgeon, deposed to having been called in to attend the prosecutor, whom he Wood labouring ender the effects of poison. From what he was told, he was induced to examine the peddiog,whiels he foam; to contain sulphate of copper. or, as it is commonly called, "blue stone." It is a powerful poison, and was es,iculated to produce symptoms like those under which be fesad the prosecutor labouring, He administered together. The Grand Juries then retired to their respective Jury-rooms to investigate the several balls that were to be laid before them. and several bring sent down as found, business was proceeded on.

They were also prevented from fighting there, and returned to Grundisburg, where they com menced the battle; he was present, and saw the fight, which continued for an hour and SS minutes. He did not see it throughout, but saw the people picking up the deceased, who appeared to be quite insensible. Wit ness saw the prisoner on the ensuing day, and told him that Leech was dead. William Steggell, a surgeon, visited the deceased on the 6th of June; subsequently opened his body, which was in a healthy state; be also opened his bead, and found a quantity of extravasated blood on the brain: this might arise from other causes besides external violence. The Jury consulted for a few moments, and then re turned a verdict of Not Guilty. Lionel Lee was charged with having, on the night of the 19:11 of May, or the morning of the 20th, broken into and robbed the dwelling house of Thomas Ham. mood, of Tannington; and stolen therefrom notes and cash to the amount of 501.

The happy Men was then transferred from the custody of the gaoler to the open arms of his enraptured bride. The prosecutor was at the fair, and seeing a number of persons round an E 0 table, was induced to approach it, and after looking on some time, he took out a can vass bag containing the above monies, intending to ven ture a half-crown. While in the act of taking out the half-crown, he received a violent blow on the hand from the prisoner, who was standing by, apparently as a spectator at the table. The blow caused him to drop the purse, which the prisoner instantly snatched up and ran away. The prosecutor was instantly surrounded in such a manner by the man with the gambling table, and a number of others, that he could not commence a pursuit of the prisoner till it was too late. The prisoner, in the atter part of the same day, was apprehended by a constable, to whom the prosecutor had communicated his loss, and given a description of his person. He had then on a completely different dress, and was acting as master of the gaming table, while a number of others, who were by on the former occasion, were pretending to be playing and winning money of him. These fel- 1 lows, on the constable seising the prisoner, made a desperate attempt to rescue him ; but some respectable farmers coming up they were overpowered, and the, prisoner secured.
