LAW INTELLIGENCE. x Ir I . II ! 1 i 1 1 , so. ,S S •• ..,.. COURT 0? CHANCERY, NOVEMBER 9. ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. BULLER. The LORD-CHANCELLOR stated, that he had been prevented last night from drawing up the order which he intended to make in this case, and which he wished to draw up with his own hand. He announced, however, that he should bring it down with him to morrow morning, and should then state such obser vations as the case had suggested to him. BROWN V. DE TASTET. The Court was occupied during the greater part of the day in hearing the several Counsel for the re spondent in this Appeal, the nature of which we stated in yesterday's Report. Mr. WETHERELL, for the appellant, made an ani mated and eloquent reply.—Judgment on Friday. ARRIVAL OF THE LORD MAYOR. At half-past one o'clock the Hall was completely crowded, to see the new Lord Mayor sworn in. The Lord Chancellor immediately went to his private room and put on his state robes, with which in a short time he returned to the Court. It would be impossible to give any account of the confusion which prevailed when the new Lord Mayor entered the Hall. He was greeted with the warmest ap plauses, while Alderman Atkins, on the contrary, was assailed with hisses, groans, cries of " Fire, fire ! Murder, murder !" &c. and every mark of po pular indignation. The noise in the Hall prevented the business of the different Courts, for a short time, in going on. The Lord Mayor was attended by the late Lord 'Mayor, Aldermen Wood, C. Smith, Cox, and Thorpe, the Sheriffs, the Reemder, Common Serjeant, City Counsel, and a numerous body of the Corporation. The Procession entered each of the Courts, and invited the Judges to dinner. The Lord Chancellor rose before two o'clock. vICE-CITANCELLOR'S COURT. ATTORNEY-GENERAL TIIE MAYOR AND conronA- T:ON OF READING. Mr. PARSER stated, that this was an Information fled by the Attorney-General, at the relation of John Burke and others; and the Bill prayed that tl.e will of a testator might be carried into effect, as far as roi,:arded a bequest made to a Charity in Reading ; and that the defendants, who were the Trustees under the will of the testator, might be ordered to produce an account of the manner in which they had appropriated the rents and profits of the trust Estate. Mr. HART said, it was unnecessary to enter into a detailed account of the testator's will, as the Cor poration of Reading did not claim any beneficial in-I terest in the bequest; nor was it alleged that they had laid out the money for their own benefit. The present Information was filed for the purpose of ap plying the entirety of the Estate to that individual' Charity for which the donor intended it. The tes-, Bator bad bequeathed a sum of money to be laid out by the Trustees in the purchase of property, which should yield Annuities of £5O. and £lO. to a Charity in Reading. The Trustees had accordingly laid it out as directed, and had continued to pay to this Charity the two Annuities of E5O. and £10; but the surplus arising from the increase of rents they had I applied to other charitable purposes. Mr. BELL, Counsel for the defendants, did not op pose the prayer of the Bill. Isis lloNtine granted the order for the production of Accounts. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, NOVEMBER 9. CORONER'S INQUEST AT OLDHAM. Mr. ::caRLYTT moved for a Rule to shew cause why a Criminal Information should not be filed against two petsons, named Joseph Taylor and J. Ettrnshaw, inhabitants of the County of Lancaster. 'I he application, he said, was founded on the affida vits of John Mellor, a constable of Oldham, L. Far rant, Esq. one of the Coroners • for the County of Lancaster, and John Jackson; and the ground of the application, was a contempt imputed to these per sons, for using improper means to influence the minds of a Jury, summoned to hold an Inquest. It was stated in the affidavits, that, on the Sth of Septem ber, a Jury was summoned for the purpose of hold ing an Inquest of the death of a person named John Lees. The Inquest was held before Mr. Farrant, the Coroner, nt Oldham, where a number of persons had a deep interest in what was passing, and were desirous that some conclusion should be formed as to the cause of the death of the party mentioned. Mr. Justice BAYLEY—What was the day on which the Inquest wa , ; held ? Mr. SCAnt.ETT—I believe it was the 7th Septem ber. The Inquest was adjourned from day to day, and at length it was adjourned from Oldham to Manchester. The Coroner and 'Mr. Mellor state, that this latter adjournment took place with a view to the safety of the persons attending the inquest, and for the presentation of the public peace. For this reason, Mr. Tarrant states, he thought it to be 1-. s duty to adjourn the Inquest from Oldham to Manchester, where lie thought there would be more safety in sitting. It appears from these affidavits, that during the Inquest, one of these persons against. whom I move, Mr. Earnshaw, a Surgeon, was called upon to give evidence before the Jury upon the sub ject matter of their inquiry. Mr..Earnshaw had at tended the deceased during his illness. Upon Mr. Earnshaw being called upon to be sworn, he declined taking an oath. Mr. Justice BAYLEY—Pray, is there any verdict found by the Inquest? Mr. SCARLETT—NO, my Lord, no verdict has been found. I have no right to say so, certainly, from the affidavits. The affidavits do not state what the' result .of the fOquest has been. I merely make the assertion from common report. Mr. Justice BAYLET (after conferring with the other Judges kr a anoment)—The verdict not hav ing been given, oug t ht . we to interfere ? Mr. Scaanarr-otWithout stating what the parti cular facts of the case are, I . will shortly state the ground of theplication. I won't state what the inference migh t, but the short ground is this That the evidence of Mr. Earnshaw being rejected ig a Quaker, and could not Earnshaw, and this person took upon themselves to jury a written statement of his account of the transac oath, he could not do. I ip what the statement was, before I have your judgment as to the ground of the motion. The paper, when produced, will speak for itself. It is extremely difficult, in making this a 'plication, to strip myself of public rumour, which, though it is my duty to do so, I find no easy task.' I certainly feel it to be my duty, as well as it is that of the Court, to disregard every thing which is not on oath before the Court. The CHM JusTice.—Certainly. Mr. SCA RLETT.—Therefore it is that I wish to confine myself strictly to what is sworn to. Upon the rejection of Mr. Earnshaw's testimony, he being a person of a particular religious persuasion, having declined to be sworn, another person, a surgeon, named Cox, was examined ; and it is stated, that the written paper circulated afterwards amongst the Jury was, in many respects, not consistent with the evi dence given by Mr. Cox. I have the affidavits of four or five of the Jurors, together with the affidavit of . the Coroner, to this circumstance—l have the ad mission of this person Taylor, against whom I move,' that he had the paper in question in his possession, and gave copies, or caused copies of it to be given to all the Jurymen. I have this admission out of his own mouth ; but I would rather state it in the pre cise words of the affidavit, than state the conclusion resulting from it. The deponent states, that having been informed that John Taylor had delivered, or cansed to be delivered, copies of the paper to some of the Jury, he, this deponent, according to such information, had made inquiry into the purport of the papers so delivered by the said John Taylor to the Jury, respecting the death of the said John Lees ; and this deponent being assured, that the said papers were so circulated, and had been in the possession of him, the said J. Taylor, and that he had delivered a part of them to some of the Jurors attending the said Inquest, he called upon the said John Taylor, though he, the said J. Taylor, would not then give him any information upon the subject. That he has since seen the said John Taylor three times, to make fur ther inquiries upon the subject, and that on these oc casions he has been informed by the said John Tay lor, that the written papers so circulated were left at his house, but by whom or with whom he did not inform the said deponent, otherwise than that he did not know. That the said John Taylor told him, that no instructions were left with the papers, but that he found the said papers in his house: that he had read one of them, and knew what such papers were in tended for, and had delivered four of them to the Oldham Jurors, and had caused the rest to be deli veied by other hands to the rest of the Jury. So that here is an admission of Taylor, that he had de• livered four to the Jurc, and had caused the remain der to be delivered to them. Mr. Farrant, in his affi davit, states, that he had been informed that one of the Jurymen had one of these papers put into his hands on a particular day, and that he they made no observation, but that he had made inquiries after the adjournment tc )k place, and learning tlttt the papers alluded to had been distributed among all the Jurors, he then, at a subsequent meeting, stated to the Jury, that if such papers had been distributed amongst them, it was their duty to deli fer them to him. That none of the Jurors made any answer on that occasion, but some days after they had been at Manchester, all the Jurors, excepting one (who appears by some ac cident not to have received a copy), delivered the papers to Mr. Farrant. So that it appears that all of them had copies delivered to them except one. -I have the admissions of four or five of the Jurors, who make affidavits, that these papers were left with them, but they don't say by whom, because they • don't know. It is clear they must have received them by one hand. So much then with respect to the case against Mr. Taylor. Then with respect to Mr. Earnshaw, I will state other facts that come home to him. Certainly they are not so strong as they arc against Mr. Taylor, though perhaps your Lordships wilt think them sufficient to call upon him to skew cause. It appears, that cn the 29th of Octo ber, one of the deponents went to the house of Mr. Earnshaw, near Oldham, and there saw him. He, the deponent, produced one of the papers annexed to the affidavit, and which one is in the hand-writing of Mr. Earnshaw. The CIIIEFJUSTICR—It is rot a printed paper? Mr. SCARLETT—No, my Lord. Mr. Justice BAyr.Et—is there any thing to spew that it was written after Earnshaw had been before the Jury ?—Mr. Se A nrETT—I don't know, my Lord. Mr. Justice BAYLEY—What is the date of Earn shaw's affirmation ? Mr. SCARLETT—It is dated the 10th month. He was offered as a witness before the Jury on the 2d of October, so that it was written after he had been be fore the Jury. It appears, from the statement of the Gentleman who makes this affidavit, that he called upon Mr. Earnshaw, and asked him whether he knew any thing about this paper? upon which Earnshaw, told him that he was not hound to give any answer to commit himself. The deponent afterwards asked. Mr. Earnshaw whether he knew any thing of any papers of a similar description having been circulated amongst the Jury ? To which he answered, that he had not directly nor indirectly circulated any papers' amongst the Jury touching the death of the said John Lees, and that such papers could not have been addressed by him to the Jury. Deponent then asked the said Earnshaw, whether the said paper was not in his hand-writing? To which he answered, " 1 have not been the means of circulating it amongst the Jury." Being requested to say whether he had caused such papers to be circulated, he said, " I could not tell if I was the author, until I could see what the papers were." Therefore, my Lords, he does not Attempt to deny that paper was his hand-writing. It appears that one of the papers is his hand-writing.— The others are not stated so to be. One certainly is, and the probability is that some person had copied it for the Jury. 1 don't say that that is so stated in the affidavits, and I must acknowledge that Mr. Earn shaw does not deny or admit the paper shewa him to be his hand-writing. Mr. Justice BeviEv--And you have no. the testi mony of any other person acquainted with his hand writing ? Mr. SCARLETT--.-YES, my Lord, I have the affida vit of a person who 'knows his hand-writing, and who states that he believes it to be his hand-writinic. The CHIEF Jurrtcr—He positively states himself, that he neither directly nor indirectly circulated the papers amongst the Jury. Mr. SEARLETT—He does so, and , the question is, whether the circumstances I /Me stated are sufficient to induce the Conn to call upon him to spew cause, why the information should not go against him ? I take the case to be quite clear against Taylor. The paper written by Earnshaw professes to give his opi nion as to the cause of the death of John Lees. The paper is addresssed thus—" To all whom this may concern." The CHIEF JUSTICE—It is a paper touching the cause of the death of the party upon whom the In quest was held ? Mr. ScARLETT—Yes, my Lord. Mr. Justice BAYLEY—I presume it was tendered to the Jury by way of evidence, having the only sanction which a Quaker can give to its truth, namely, his affirmation, which sanction does not entitle it to be received in evidence ? Mr. Justice BEST—His affirmation had been pre viously refused ? Mr. ScArtLETT—Yes, my Lord. The paper does not point at any individual. The CIIIEF JUSTICE—A understand the paper to have been clandestinely delivered by Taylor to the Jury. If the Court grants the Rule against him, it is on this ground—that here is something delivered to the Jury, not upon oath, touching the matter which was the subject of inquiry. It is clear that nothing should be delivered to the Jury except upon oa. Mr. SCARLETT—I need not make any observ ations on this part of the case, for I take it that no rule can be more clearly established than, that during the administration of justice, the tribunal of justice should not be tampered with in any way whatever. Mr. Justice BEST—There is this objection to the proceeding, that the paper was not delivered openly, or when the Coroner was present ; but secretly, when the Coroner was absent. Mr. SCARLlTT—Whatever the effect of the paper might be, it was clearly not evidence. The founda tion, therefore, of this application is, that Taylor's was the hand that put the paper in circulation. I have stated the facts as they affect Earnshaw ; and, with respect to the paper, I have this further to state, that it contains matter that could not be received upon oath, even if this person had been sworn. Hav ing now stated the whole of the facts, the Court will dispose of the motion as it sees fit. The Cuter JUSTICE—The foundation of my pre sent opinion, that the Rule ought to go against Tay lor, is, that nothing is to be deli vered-to aJury, other than upon oath, touching the subject matter of their inquiry. It does not appear that you have sufficient proof is this case to criminate the writer of the paper. As against him, your facts are not strong enough to entitle you to a Rule, he does not appear to be im plicated ; but as against Taylor you may take a Rule to chew cause. • Rule to shew cause granted against Taylor only. COMMERCE. LONDON MARKETS, NOVEMBER to- SVGA R.—The demand for Muscovades, during the last week, was brisk and extensive beyond precedent, towards the close of the market, particularly ; the re finers and wholesale grocers, who have, for a length of time, delayed to make their usual purchases, took, alarm at the brisk market, and, coming forward , nearly at the same time, occasioned an uncommon briskness ; the prices of good Sugars were Jr. to 25.1 per cwt. higher, and inferior brown might be stated at the advance of Is. the market closing exceedingly brisk, and several extensive holders declining to make sales, in the anticipation of a further and con siderable improvement. This forenoon the great briskness in the demand continues unabated ; not. withstanding the extensive sales of last week, the purchasers have come forward freely ; the total sales this forenoon are nearly 3500 hhds. at an improve ment of fully Is. since Friday, making an advance of 2s. to 3s. on Muscovades, since this day week. The demand for Foreign descriptions of Sugars has not increased in proportion ; the public sale of Brazils, on Friday, went off at very low rates--middling white 345. 6d. to 555. 6d. grey s2s. to 335. brown 265. to 295. COFFEE.—There were considerable public sales of Coffee brought forward last week, the whole went off rather heavily ; the ordinary to fine ordinary Ja maica sold 2s. to Ss. per cwt. lower ; the other de-' scriptions were without variation, the fine still conti nuing to sell out of all proportion high ; fine mid dling Jamaica, in extensive parcels, sold 140 s. to 1435. and one lot 150 s. good ordinary sold at 108 s, extensive parcels of Cuba and St. Domingo , Coffee were brought forward, the former, fine ordinary, all withdrawn at 1425. but no offers near that rate ; for good St. Domingo 107 s. 6d. was offered and re fused. The demand, by private contract, yesterday and this 'forenoon, appears to be considerably re viving ; for good ordinary St. Domingo 108 s. has been realized. COTTON.—The accounts from Liverpool and Man chester are exceedingly favourable ; the purchases of Cotton are represented to be extensive, the prices im proving ; these accounts have, however, little effect on this market ; the purchases, since Tuesday last, little exceed 400 bags -170 Berbice and Demerara, very middling to find, 15}d. to 160. a few good Ca riaceu Mid. very good Jamaica 14-id. very middling Barbadoes 12id. inferior Montserrats 100. middling St. Domingo 110. fair Carthagena 101 d. to lOid. fair new Orleans 14d. to 14t,d. 4.0 fair shipping qua lity Bengals bid. to 7-Id. and 20 Surats Bid. Wan PROVISIONS. —There are about 400 casks of new Beef arrived, the prices are, however, nominal. The old, and the prices of Pork, remain nominally the same. Butters are heavy. RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS._The Rum mar ket was heavy last week ; the purchases reported were limited ; no alteration in the price,'could be stated. Yesterday the Government Contract of 60,000 gallons was concluded, at prices so low as 2s. lid. per gallon ; the report of the low rate will, probably, have an unfavourable eßet on the mar ket. The few sales eBl•cted this forenoon are at lower rates than the holders would accept of last week.— Brandy is exceedingly depressed. HEMP, FLAX, AND TALLOW.—The prices of Tal low continue very much depressed ; the market is still very heavy. Hemp may also be purchased on lower terms. Flax continues very heavy. OILS.—The prices of Greenland Oil may again be stated at a considerable reduction. Southern Oil is also lower. The other descriptions are heavy. - looroo.--The demand for Indigo, since the East ' ladia sale, bits slot bens extensive; several parcels., have, however, sold at the advance of al but, generally, the improvement on the sale not.so considerable.
