-----•—___ Lti W IN fELLIGENcE. COURT OF CHANCERY, Fxsatmar 1. CONBT V. HARRIS. 'Mr. Jetiteb stated to the Court, that the parties were extremely anxious that judgment should be given on the motion made in this cause. The LORD CHANCELLOR promised to give judgment at an early day. MORRIS V. DAVIS. Mr. &MICR said, that in this case, which had been frequently before the Court, and in which three issues bad been already tried, it was intended to move for a new trial. From the length to which the discussion would rim, it was extremely desirable that a day should be appointed. The LORD CHANCELLOR said it did not appear to him that the verdict was contrary to the opinion which the Judge who tried the cause had expressed. The Jury had expressed their disbelief of the evidence of one ai the witnesses. He would, however, appoint Thursday next for the argument. IN RE PoLKES, A BANKRUPT. The LORD CHANCELLOR SAID he had received a very lting letter from Mr. Smith, the bankrupt's solicitor, stating facts which had not come nut in evidence. He bad already given the case his deliberate attention, and he would not hear it again, having once decided it. IN RE OWEN, A BANKRUPT. Mr. Alexander Isaacs was brought up on a habeas corpus from Newgate, to which place he had been com mitted by the commi►sioners of the fourteenth list, for having given them unsatisfactory answers to their exa-- Mr. tisticar moved that he should be discharged, be:ause the answers he had given were as satisfactory as the case admitted of. The prisoner was the ship's hus'sarid of the Exmouth, of which vessel the bankrupt was Captain. A Jamaica merchant, of the name of Leon, hid a claim on the ship for 7,0001. and Mrisaacs was Mr. Leon's accredited agent. It had been found expedient by the commissioners to examine him, and particularly respecting an entry in his books. To this examination his answers had been thought unsatisfac tory. The questions and answers were then read through• out, and the Counsel insisted that they had all been as satisfactorily answered as Mr. Isaacs's knowledge of the circumstances enabled him. Mr. Rose and Mr.Waicur insisted that the commit tal Was justifiable, and required by the answers. The Lows CHANCELLOR was of opinina that the an swers were not satisfactory, nor the best that Mr. Isaacs might have given. He therefore ordered him to be sent back to Newgate, at the same time recommending the Commissioners to give him an immediate opportunity of rectifying his answers. Mr. Rosa said that might be done to-morrow, as was the constant course. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, W Fn. I. CERTIORARI. The SOLICITOR GENERAL appeared to oppose a rule obtained by Mr. Alderson, calling upon certain Magis trates of the town of Liverpool to show cause why se veral bills of indictment which were about to be pre ferred against two individuals, might not be removed by certiorari from the Liverpool Sessions, for trial at Lancaster, or some other place. The application was founded on an affidavit of the accused parties, stating their belief that they could not have a fair trial at the place where the indictments were to be preferred. in consequence of certain reports which had been circa. Wed in the neighbourhood to their prejudice. They stated amongst other things, that one of the Magistrates had been heard to say that he was glad they were caught, and that he would take care to punish them with the utmost rigour of the law. The affidavits of the Town Clerk of Liverpool, and of another person, made in opposition to the rule, stated that the indivi duals in question had been apprehended under a charge of receiving stolen goods, and that it would be produc tive of great inconvenience ar:d expense to carry the indictments for trial to Laocw ter. The two pets , ns who were charged with stealing the goods had been also apprehended, and it appeared— Mx. Justice BAYLET—Ate all four' committed for trial? Ttle SOLICITOR GENERAL—Yes, my Lord. Mr: Justice BAYLEY—Then you may include them all in one indictment. The SOLICITOR GENERAL said his clients would do so; and as they were not in a situation at present to answer the affidavits on the other side, the rule for the certiorari might be made absolute. IN THE MATTER OF ROBERT GOURLAY. Mr. CAMPBELL applied to have the rule he had ob tained in this case, for an habeas corpus, made absolute. Since yesterday, he had communicated with the corn mating Magistrate, Mr. Halls, on the subject of his application, and that Gentleman had informed him that he did not intend to oppose tie rule being made abso: lute, which he (Mr. C.) iupposed would now be done. Lard TENTEBDEN—No; what we have now to do is to see whether, in oar opinion, the warrant be valid. It is to that point you must apply yourself. Mr. CAMPBELL said, that that was certainly the' course to be pursued, and he would now tefer their Lordships to some Outborities he had found in the books, which he thought bore strongly upon the point. All the =Rhoades laid it down, [bat the committing warrant, to he geed, must most particularly describe for what the party was committed, which had not been done in this case. The first case, to' shich he referred ' their Lordships, where this doctrine was held, was in 2d Vesey, p. 122. The - 39th and 40th Geo. 111. expres•ly stated, that the cause of comm talent should be clearly stated in the warrant, and that it was not suffi cient barely to state, as was done in the present instance, that the party was committed for an ass mit and breach of the peace; but it was necessary also to state upon whom the assault was committed, with every other particular. Commitments in execution he held to be something analagous to the present, and the books contained numerous cases, giving examples of the peat strictness that was required in stating the cause of the commitment in the warrant. The Case of •• The King o. Cooper," is 6th Tom Reports, p. 509. was one of these; as was that of •• The King v, Rhodes," and that of The King'v. Brown," in Stir Term Rei.orts, p. 26. The Act under which Mr. Gouda) , was committed, required that it should be stated is' the warrant, that at the time of his apprehen• gun he was deranged; no such thing was sworn to the Magistrate, nor was it so stated in the war cases of commitment by the Commissioners for the bankrupt not satisfactorily afia lawful questions of the Conamisakeers atoty to the Commissioners to state in not only that the pasty had refused their lawful questions, but to state the themselves with the answers given to them. was this? In order that' the Court, party was brought by Ilabeu Corpus, judge as to whether the questions of the tern were lawful, and whether the answers were such as ougllt,to base been satisfactory. The SAME rule, he submitted, applied to thepresent case. The cause of the commitmencwas not stated with RA 'ficient fullness, for there was nothing in the warrant to enable the Court to say, whe:her the party was justly committed or not.—After the Judges had consulted together for some length of time, Lord TENTS/10EN said, commitments under this Act of Parliament (5 Geo. 111.) are of Leery peculiar nature. They are not commitments for safe cost adytill the party be brought to trial; nor are they commitments in exe cution for any offence against the laws ; but they are in order to secure the persons and property of his Majesty', subjects generally, and also, that the unhappy individual who may come under the operation of the Act, may be duly taken care of, to prevent hill doing himself any mis chief. That being the object of the Legislature, we must not give that construction to commitments under this Act that we should were they under any other. Mr. Campbell contends, that the warrant alleging an assault and breach of the peace, ought to state the name of the person who it was suppo,ed the individual committed intended actually to assault. But there may be many in stances in which such a course would be absolutely im practicable. Suppose, for instance, a man of the charac ter contemplated in this Act were to be seen rushing out of a house with a dagger in his hand threatening to stab some person, or ruining through the streets with a torch, threatening to set fire to some house; in such cases it would be impassible to say, what person he meant to stab or what hotre he meant to set fire to ; but any body steing he had the power to do what he threa•eaed, might justifiably apprehend him and get him com mitted. If, therefore, we were to require commitment , under this Act of I'.Pllll/itlit to be so strictly drawn ap as others, the Act would, in mos: tales, be nugatory, and Idle object A tire Legislature thus ch , fe.rieJ. It hai been said, I believe, when welreard o' . tl;is matter before, that nothing stated in the warrant was laid before the Magis trate on eath. That statement is correct, hut the Ml - does not say in the was rant, as is in other cases usual, that he has ben informed so and so, but posi tively states the fact- 4, Witte eas Robert Goutlay t i!th been apprehended under circumstances that show a deranged state of mind," bringing hiin within the mearring and operation of the Act of Parliament, i lnd is, .s the warrant goes 0., to state, controlled. The Act says, •' that a party being brought before a Justice, and suspected of being insane, may be committed, that alone being stated in the warrant." Tire Act further .says, " that a party shall not be li berated on bail by less than two Justices of the Peace, of whom the Committing Magisttate must be one." The warrant alleges that it appears to him (the Justice) that he ought to issue a warrant to commit the said Robert Gourlay as a dangerous person, suspected to be de ranged. This (Mr. Campbell) is according to the words of the Act of Parliament. The warrant is for a purpose entirely different from those ordinarily made by Magis trates for safe custody, and we do not think it reqtaisite that the Magistrate should specify the cause of coin-, mitment in the same manner. We shall. cwt therefore inter pose our authority to distutb the commitment; the applicant must seek his remedy under the other provi- Fn. 1. sio"ns of the Act. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, W GULLEY V. TILE 111Stior OF kAETEK. This was an action to deter mine the validity of a deed The plaintiff claimed a right to a certain advowson within the diocese of the Bishop of Exeter, who is only the nominal defendant in this action, and he grounded his claim upon a deed which he contended was granted by the original possessor to his ancestors, bearing date 1672. The defendant, on the contrary, contendel that the same person had grante.: a deed to his ancestors, whicn was clAted in 1692, and he insisted, upon the 1 strength of this deed, t hat i.e alone had a right to the ad- Towson. He adulate !, leuwesct , t hat if the alleged deed of 1672 co aid be extblished as perfectly valid, his claim would fall to the pound. The action was tried about two years since before Nll. Justice Pat k, at Exeter, when the plaintiff was non sLited on some technical objection. Determined, however, to prosecute his claim, he had commeaced another action, to which the defendant pleaded an almost innumerable number of pleas, which appeared to the plaintiff to he irrelevant to the real merits of the case, and he theteiore applied to Mr. JuLtice Gaselce at Chambers to strike out the greater part of them. That Learned Judge did strike out a considerable number, but fearirg to go too far, recommended an application to the Coui t. Mr. Sergeant WILDE, accordingly, on th.e day of the last to m, applied fi r and obtained a rule, calling on the delviidarit to show cause why all the pleas upon the record should not to struck out, exc •pt those n hick related to the deed beating date 1672, or why the plain- tiff should not be at libel ty to amend the declaration. Mr. S±rgeant NERE.WETIIEIt now appe.ted to s!.ow cause against the ;We, ao:d contended, that tie sole cause for the multiplicity of pleas Was the frequent amendments which had been made by the plaintiff. The LORD CHII F JUSTICE, in the course of the argil. ment, said he had heard of the thirtieth and fortieth plea; he begged to know how many there were? Mr. Sergeant Eft ZWETHER replied, there were 43. Mr. Justice Panic (addres , ing I irm elf to the ri st of the Bench)—Must of you know the extent of the public dining room at Exeter. I do assure yon that the re cord, when enrolled, 'extended from one end to the other of it. Mr. Sergeant ManzweTiren, in continuation of his argument, complained mach of the repeated amend ments which had been made in the declaration. The Lord CHIEF JUSTICE, interrupting him, said— I , When I hear of special Pleas to the number of 43, I should feel inclined to allow a plaintiff to amend to the day of judgment. Mr. Sergeant WILDE proceeded partially in his ar gument in support of the rule, when, the suggestion of the Court, he consented to an enlargement of the rule, it bring understod that he should be allowed to repeat the application in a different form. PREROGATIVE COURT, Fas. 1. HARFOLID JONES BIaDGES, HERETOFORE JONES, BART V. KING. The argument in this case, which was partly heard last Court day, was resumed. The facts were reported in the STAR of January 25. It was a suit to fly the validity of a codicil executed by Mr , . Mary Brydges, of Winierbourne, near Bristol, whereby the sum of 10,0001. was left ro a Miss King. besides smaller sums to other individuals, to the prejudice of Sir fiat lord Jones Brydges, the cousin of ate deceased, next of kin,' and residuary legatee. The validity of the codicil was disputed on the ground of fraud and collu►ion. Dr. Jesse ADDAMS, who was on the same side as I Dr. Lossituntou, concluded his argument in support of the codicil. Dr. JIINNRR was on the other side. He contended that the evidence in the cause she wed the utter improba• bility of this codicil being the legal act of the testatrix. She had been confined to her bed from November, 1825, to the period of her death in January, 1826; and the nature of her disorder was such, that not only was her bodily strength exhausted, hue she wa., in a state of torpor and lethaigy, froth which it, was difficult to rouse her. All the persons alive wh • were able to speak- as•to•the capacity-of the dece se l v►heh the codicil was executed, were legate!, and there fore incapacitated from giving evidence. The instru ment had not been drawn• np by a professionalipel son, but by Mr. Ja mes King, the brother of Miss King.

Mr. Hey. kit, the Secondary to the Court of Common attended as the represegtative or all ihe defendants.

Mr. Hewlett denied that the Judges were liable to the rates ; but he -offered to p iy the 150/. due. if a receipt were given acknowledging that the payment was protested against. .1 long dist:ll...ion took place, and at last it was agreed that Mr. Hewlett should consult his ciient , , whether they would pay the money due (except one quarier from one d.fendant), under protest witnessed by the illagi,tcatar's Clerk; or whether they would sub mit to the whole ofthe war rlnts bring pressed.—The tvsult svilibe communicated to Sir PATER on Tuesday or Wednesday twit. BUR'-ST It E ET.. Yesteaday, Sir R. Masts gave his judgment in the cases of Johnson v. Phillips, and Herrin , ' v. Carter. The defendants, it will be recollected, were charge" with selling wine to be consumed on their premises, without bring duly licence.:. Mr. Phillips' is the Proprietor of the " Cafe de l'F.urope Hotel," ilaytwirket ; and Carter is die ostensible Proprietor of a wine and eoffee•house, in Brydges-street. The defence the parties set up, was, that they being Freemen of the Vintner's Company, were em powered by a Charter of James 11. to sell wines by retail, to be con sumed on the premises. On the other hand it was contended, that the 35th Geo. 111. deprived them of that privilege..-Sir R. Biome, in giving his judgment said, that he had attentively perused the Acts which referred to the alleged privilege chimed by Free Vint ners, and he was willing to confess that they had made a deep im pression upon him; and be would rather a higher Tribunal should decide, whether the 35th Geo. 111. related to wine or not? •He convicted the defendants, who entered into sureties to appeal to the Sessions, and intend (as advised by the Magistrate) to carry the question by certiorari, into the King's Bench, H A 'ETON- G A RDEN. • Joist*, alias Alexander Ephraim.

Charles (the Welchinan) is an immense favourite at his country. men, who laud and acknowledge him as their champion. The interest which the match excited among them may be best esti. mated by the number of equipages, tag rag, and bobtail, on the move, loadel with Taffylanders, which was tremendous. BallEy well known at the • Bilotti Bailey.. The concouree.of people wail immense that had assembled at Kingswood-bill (about five Rigel from Bristol) by twelve o'clock, which was the appointed hour if meeting; but the beakihad-been busy,and Police-men were on tb4 alerr s andlbe wer.ry, and wishful Fancy were soused 13 the suds 'if disappointment—they scouted and groaned at the ofleers, but thei were firm to duty, and, as the only alternative, a &owe Was dietei mined upon. Sodbury was named, and iname•li ire:y the road all alive with travellers—but only softie of them re'arhed the goat, fin the journey was eight miles, and that proved too lntkb for per:. eons already tatigued to keep up- with the carriage pace of tt4 Belligerents. Many, however, possessed stamina enough to get through.; and those who were thrown out, fed their fortitude and drowned their disappointment at the conveuient cribs on the road; so that every• Boniface on the line of route might hive been seen grinning so comfortably, that they seemed to thank the police `fur • their officiousness. In a field close by Sodbury, a rudely.formed ring was got up, and at two o'clock the men peeled. Charles was waited upon by Bob Watson and Bob Watson's son. Batley hat! Newton and Job Bath as his attendants. Te fight is unworthy to be detailed in rounds, for they were all alike, and " noneof them different." Llziley kept creepinl back, and scented to fight on the retreat, but he did conwatatively little execaion—when he was brought up by the rope, and coots! recede no further. Charles made up for rallyi , te, hut Balky would not have it—he always slipped down to gtt out of hatm's way. In the 100th round, Bailey found that he had no chance by fight ing. and hit friends found that they had no chance by breaking the ring-so Bailey was constrained to say—" Enough." They had fought twice bet Ore, and bad had a victory each. This was the tie-up bathe, that was understood to graft the su.eriority. Charles of cour,e hae obtained the hest place, but he has not much more to boast of. The fight was altogether as bad as possible— pulling, hauling, and rolling about—and whatever may be said of Bailey's bad fighting and his dropping down, Charles could not be exceedingly clever, when he took two hours to beat hint. They each, however, had their whack of punishment. A second fight followed b.:tween Toner and Redman, which was a complete contrast to the preceding; it was a scientific dis play, and altogether a courageous' manli contest. The coufuasott in the ring, and darkness coming on, impeded them considerably; but after fighting one hour and 20 minutes, Redman gave in, and yielded the palm of victory to Turner. On the 19th ult. an Inquest was held at Ipstone, Staffordshire, on the bodies of llannah Smith, aged 6 . 2, and her children, William Smith, aged 24., Joseph Smith s aged 19, and Hannah Smith, aged 12, whose deaths were occasioned by the roof of the house falling in upon them. The family consisted of five persons, and owing to the house being out t frepair, they were sleeping on the ground ficrr at the time when the acci• dent happened: William Smith, the husband, alone ' escaped.—Worcester Journal. Yesterday evening an luquest was held at St. Tho• mar's Hospital, on the body of Florence Sullivan, a fine boy six years of agb, the son of an industrious couple residing in Mint•street in the Borough. It appeared that the child was left by itself on Wednesday last. and is supposed to have set his clothes on fire, as he ran screaming into the street all in a blaze. Some persons passing soon extinguished the flames by rolling him in the kennel, and had him conveyed to the Hospital, where every thing possible was done for him, but he was so d►e+dfully injured that he expired shortly aftet wards.—Verdict, Accidental Death."
