PREROGATIVE COURT,. JANUARY 28. HALL V. HALL. This was a question as to the validity of a will pro pounded by Robert Willis Hall, praying the Court to admit its legality. Drs. Dolma an .1 JENNER were 'heard on the part of Robert Wiliis Hall, and Dr. LUSHINGTOH addressed the Court, at considerable length, for the parties who were opposed to the admission of the will. Sir Joins gave judgment in the following terms: — He said that a mass of evidence had been brought for wgrd, and not fewer than thirty witnesses were exa mined. The deceased, John Hall, had been brought up LO the sea; he had retired from the service with a property which he had invested in small leasehold hoeses, which were valued at £l5OO, or thereabouts. He died at the age 75 years, leaving three sons and one daughter. '1 he eldest son, John Joseph Hall, resided in Holland, while Alfred and Robert Willis Hall were living in London. The daughter had been twice mar ried, her present husband being named Bateman. There were several testamentary instruments in existence and before the Court ; one dated 3d August, 1817, in which Alfred and Robert Willis Hall were named executors; one dated 2d February, 1818, in which they were also named executors; another dated 3d February, 1819, which was more beneficial to Alfred Hall, who was ap pointed sole executor. The will now propounded was dared October, 1819, which made an important altera tion in the disposition of the testator's propeity. The grounds of opposition to the validity of this document, were these:—ln the month of July, 1817, the deceased Was attacked with a serious fit of apoplexy, which pro duced great debility ; he had subsequently other attacks of a similar kind, which so affected his body and mind, it was contended that when the will was made in Octo ber, 1319, he was incapable of understanding the nature of the instrument, and therefore it was not valid in law. In answer to these objections, it was stated that though the deceased had sustained occasional attacks, yet at in tervals he was free from mental defection, and, though his body was weak, he perfectly understood the nature of,the will of October, 1819, which was drawn up in conformity with his expressed regard and affection for pis favourite son, John Joseph Hall. The general pin . ciple for the Court to guide itself by was this—at the time the will was made, was it satisfactorily shewn that • the mind of the testator was clear and unimpaired?— He was considered by a number of witnesses to be ca pable of understanding clearly the instructions be gave, and the contents of the will when he executed it; but if Ills capacity was fluctuating and doubtful at the time, it required good evidence to chew whether the testator knew what lie was doing: and if the party mostly be nefited by the execution of the will appears to be the agent nr assistant in the execution of the testamentary document, it ought to be most clearly proved that the testator was, at the time he executed the papers, acting perfectly flee. It was evident that the deceased was hiequently attacked with very severe illness, and his faculties were so flinch injured, that in July, 1818, a strait waistcoat was found necessary, and it was pro bable that up to the time of his dissolution his faculties were in an impaired state. On the 28th of September, 1819, he was seized with illness, and was attended by a medical Gentleman, named Bowers, whose affidavit stated, that the deceased, from that time to his death, was in a state of great mental defection, and during the Beater part of the time he could not articulate so as to be understood. Mr. Butt, an attorney, had been em ployed' in August, 1817, by the testator, and in Octn btr, 1819, his son, John Joseph Hall, requested his at teedance,• stating that his father wished to make some alterations in his will. On the following day Mr. Butt arrived, and was introduced to John Joseph Hall (the party benefited by the execution of the last will of the testator ), and he gave instructions to Mr. Butt as to the alterations proposed, which were immediately made,' and they proceeded to the testator's room, and read the document to the deceased, who was lying in bed at the time, incapable of speaking, though it was stated that he expressed his assent to the contents. The deceased, it was admitted, was unable to sign the will, the parties present agreed to guide the hand of the deceased, and they did so till the signature was conipleted. He (the Learned Judge) a as of opinion that more circumspec tion ought to have been used by Mr. Butt, and great suspicion was entertained by the Court, not only from the mode of signing the document, but because the per son dictating the alteration was John Joseph Hall. the person most directly benefitted by them. The Court, under all the circumstances of the case, felt bound to dismiss the last will with costs. THE STACKPUOLE CAUSE. PARIS, JANUARY 25. Yesterday the pleadings in this litigated cause were continued.—M. Dupin now confined himself to the facts connected with the cause, which he detailed with an accuracy and felicity to which no report can do justice. Ile conceived it his duty to defend the Chamber of Lords of England from those imputations thrown out against them bybis antagonist, M. Tripier, who asserted that very few lawyers were included in that House. There were, on the contrary, in the English Lords' Chamber, the most eminent lawyers. In that country, as in other civilized States, it was indeed from the circle of the Bar that the most eminent men have risen to offices of State. Here M. Dupin contended for the authenticity of the signature, as referring not to John, but James Stack. pole; and argued most decidedly the necessity of con 6rming the English Decree, with the exception of the penalty attached to Geo.Stackpoole on account of his age. . M. Dupin, in conclusion, expressed his earnest hope, that those Letters Patent which had been granted to George Stackpoole under false pretences,would one day be rescinded. And, meanwhile, an imperious voice must continue to cry in the ears of George Stackpoole, that his fortune was the fruit of an immense spoliation, and that lie ought to restate all that be had taken— Redde quod debes. He (M. Dupin) trusted, that the Tribunal, by their decision, would give a salutary les son. Let them teach dishonest debtors of all nations, be their authority what it may, that if France always had afforded an asylum to the unfortunate, it was not a place of refuge for fraud and spoliation. The further proceedings were adjourned for eight days, when M. Tripier is to reply, after which the King's Ad vocate will. demand the judgment of the Court. An eagle was caught, last week, on the estate of J. HEWITT, Esq. near Handcross, Sussex, it is a fine full grown bird, and came into a trap set by Mitchell, game-keeper to Mr. Hxwar. mGrai • 6 COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE. Mr. SINCLAIR last night returned to his engagement at this Theatre, after a short absence, during which he has been delighting thesmusical ears of the Bath ama teurs.—The Opera of The Cabinet attracted a numerous audience, and his singing in Prince Orlando was re markably brilliant and successful. The principal songs were encored, and called forth enthusiastic applause. Miss PATON was in fine voice, and the Opera went off with great spirit. PREPARATIONS FOR THE OPENING OF PARLIAMENT. Lord Gwydyr and his active Secretary, Mr. Tellowes, have been busily employed for the last fortnight in di recting the arrangements necessary to give order and splendour to the important ceremony of his Majesty opening the Parliament in person. The Duke of %%rel. Roston, as heretofore, is to bear the sword of state on the occasion. We believe that it depends entirely on the pleasure of the Lord Great Chamberlain to select the individual who is to bear the sword, and that it is ne cessary for him, at the opening and prorogation of every Parliament at which his Majesty attends, to renew the appointment. Lord Gwydyr properly selects the Noble Duke, as being not only personally acceptable to the King, but also because, from his illustrious career, he deserves every honour which he can wear in the pre sence of the country. The Royal entrance to the Hotie is now most conveniently arranged. The door at which his Majesty alights is iu.advance of that at which the Officers of State and - the Household descend, so that the whole cavalcade can form immediately behind his Ma jesty without any crowding or bun led bustle. This eri r , trance is to be lined with dismounted guardsmen as far as the top of the flight of stairs which leads to what is called th)e Royal Anti-room, which stairs, together with the ante-room, and the gallery leading to the old Painted Chamber, form part of the new improvements constructed under the direction of Mr. S.rane. It is worth observing,, as an instance of modern expe dition in creating edifices, that not a brick of this ex tensive building was laid till the 3d of October last.— ' The Painted Chamber remains as yet in stata quo, but it is to be pulled down, as is also the present House of I Lords; and new buildings are to be erected in their place, according as the intervals between the Sessions • will permit. The anti-room and gallery leading to the Painted Chamber will be F riarded by the Yeomen of the Guard and the Band of Gentlemen Pensioners. Before the Prince's Chamber and the old House of Lords were pulled down, many hundreds of spectators were ad mitted into them by the Great Chamberlain's tickets.— But on Tuesday no spectators will be allowed to enter the gallery and anti-room until after his Majesty shall have left the House, as it was wished that, in passing to the Robing-room, his Majesty shall have an unin terrupted view of the new arrangements. This we pre sume to be the cause of the very limited number of tickets which have been issued, as all the spectators will be confined within the Painted Chamber, where seats, rising row above row, are now erecting fur their accom modation. His Majesty, it is to be understood, passes from the gallery through the Painted Chamber to the Robing-room, and returns by the same way. Those who have tickets for the Painted Chamber, are to enter by the door No. 1, or the Bishop's door, as it is called.— Those who have tickets for the bar, are to enter by the House of Commons passage : and those Ladies who have tickets for the body of the House, are to go in by the Peers' entrance, and must be full-dressed ; but a morning dress is considered sufficient for the La dies Who have tickets for the Painted Chamber. The Gentlemen who are to be admitted to the Painted Chamber, and below the bar, may also go in morning dress. The doors will be thrown open at twelve. LONDON TITHES.--MACDOUGAL V. PORRIER.—A question, relating to the tithes of the London Clergy, came before the VICE-CHANCELLOR on Wednesday, kut was adjourned till Wednesday next, when the ItEconota and COMMON SERJEANT will attend. A bill has been tiled by the plaintiff for a reference to the Master, to take an account of what sums were due for tithes from the defendant as one of the parishioners of St. Helen's, Bishopsgate-street, from the '2sth of March, 1822, to ' the 25th of March, 1824.—The plaintiff states in his bill that he is entitled to receive these tithes, as the lay impropriator of them, and the rate itself was fixed by the 37th of Henry VIII. on the award of the Arch bishop of CANTERBOttIf, and enrolled in the Court of Chancery. The question in fact is, whether Clergymen claiming tithes under the Act abovenamed, are bound to produce the Act of Enrolment to support their right. The City is much interested in the case, which will pro bably go to the House of Lords on an appeal. Wednesday week, as Samael Greenyer, a workman in the employ of Henry Doughty, Esq. of Denton, near Newhaven, in Susses, was digging in a chalk-pit, he discovered, three feet below the surface, a skeleton of a female. She had a sing on her finger, and is supposed to have been buried there '3O years since, from the cir cumstance of a woman having been reported to have been murdered about that time; her body was never found, or traces of the murder discovered. THE CABII OF C. A. DEMPETER, WHO SWALLOWED A Case-xturs.--This unfortunate man died at Middle wichoan Friday the 14th instant. The Public will recol lect, that inattempting some juggling tricks at Carlisle, he swallowed a table-knife rather more than nine inches' long, which remained in his stomach without exciting any acute pain or producing any serious consequences, until within a few days of his death. He left Carlisle uith the intention of proceeding to London, where his mother resides, for the purpose of consulting Sir Astley Cooper. During the journey to Manchester he suffered much pain lions the jolting of the coach; when, finding himself unable to bear the motion of the carriage, he embarked in a canal•boat; but being taken very ill in the boat, he was prevented pursuing his journey further than Middlewich. This case having excited considera ble interest in the public mind, as also in that of the profession, it may be proper to observe, that the body i was opened the day after his death, and the knife found in the stomach, which, with the other of the viscera, was in a state of inflammation and gangrene. The handle of the knife, which was of bone, was dissolved, as likewise a considerable portion of the blade. So powerfully, indeed, had the knife been acted upon by the juices of the stomach, as to impress very forcibly on the minds of the medical men who opened the body, a belief that, had the man continued at Carlisle, and been kept in a quiet state, the whole of the knife might have been dissolved, aad the case terminated favourably. IRISH STAMP OFFICE. The arrangement which has been adopted of a reci procal interchange with England of the heads of the Boards of Customs and Excise, we understand will be immediately carried into effect in the Stamp Depart ment of Ireland, which, notwithstanding the heavy du ties incident to it has been for sometime past conducted by two Commissioners only, both or one of whom. we presume, will be attached to the English Board.— The Equity Fund Stamp Duties, which were issued from the Irish Stamp office on Saturday last, for the first time. —The new stamp is a compound of embossed work and printing, united together so as to blend into the same , device. The former is produced by a highly finished die—the latter consists of the most delicate engine turned figures; and both ate given by the same im pression—the press working as rapidly as the common stamping press, and with very little more labour. In forming the combination for the new Stamp, the object we think has been obtained to ptovide a remedy for the frauds practised upon the Stamp hitherto used. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. Mns.Cor.wit.r.—We stated on a former day, that a poor woman of this name bad been brought to this office in a state of great dis tress, and had been sent to St. Giles's workhouse. A Gentleman of the name of Vale, a linen-draper, at Islington, attended on Wed nesday at the office, and confirmed her story, as to the former re spectability of her husband as a tradesman in Great Russell-street, Bloomsbury, and as to the fact of her having had a large fortune when married. She was born in Spain, and was respectably con. netted. Mr. Vale had lived as foreman with her husband when be failed; and .now left two guineas for her use, promising to use his exertions to extend this relief. The money was immediately sent to the unfortunate woman. HATTON-GARDEN. %Stamm Loves—Derby Crawley, an exotic from Ireland, who has lately vegetated on Saffron-hill, was brought up on the complaint of the overseer of the parish of St. Andrew, Holborn, charged with having neglected to allow a suitable maintenance to his wife. The complaint was substantiated by the wife, a woman of gigan tic dimensions; she stated that she and Darby had been lawfully married by the Parish Priest of Bantry, in the county Cark; and that immediately after the joyful ceremony, Darby deserted her ; and that on her following him here, he is not content with deserting her, but he midesis her whenever they meet. On the Magistrate inquiring if she had got any family, she re plied, " I have but one child,plase your Worship, in the family way," pointing significantly at her person. Upon tit.: defendant being called upon to explain his conduct, he referred his case to a friend who accompanied him. " Rase your Worship," said the advocate, `• poor Darby has had no idkation, and if you'll allow me I'll compound this matter to you. He then stated that defendant was taken neck and heels, in his own country, before a priest, to marry this woman, at the point of the pike; and as soon as he could escape from the clan which seized him, he emigrated to this country ; the woman, however, still intent upon her prey, followed him. Here the learned advocate was interrupted by the wife exclaim ing—" rase your Worship, I'll be on my affirlory, I never had a call to man but you." This requiring some tittle explanation, she said she meant the expression fur her husband, but she would not condescend to look at hint. _ _ It appeared that Darby had no means of even supporting himself. It was decided to pass both home; upon which he exclaimed he would rather go to Botany Bay without her than Bantry Bay with her. While the overseer was arranging for their tour, she gave her spouse a foretaste of the pleasure of the excursion, saying, "By J —s, I'll bate you as tender as a potted herring before you see Ballinafad." MARLBOROUGH-STREET. I3t-itciartr.—James Baker, a young man about 20 years of age was brought from St. George's watch-house, charged wall robbery and burglary in the house of 'Miss Roland, No. 14, Ilanover-street, Hanover-square.—lie was recognised as an old offend.r, being, in the month of May, 1819, charged at this Office with the robbery of Daniel Curling. Esq. of Tavistock-street, Tavistock.place, and for which he was sentenced to seven years' transportation, which Was commuted to four yearb' hard labour in the Penitentiary.—lie was fully committed. A fatal accident occurred on Monday se'nnight at Millersdon House, near Cuilompton, the residence of Ooptain Bunw. Mi. CHARLES FOLLETT, who was there Olt a visit, being about to accompany Captain B. on a shooting excursion, went into the yard, for the purpose of turning out the dogs, taking his fowling-piece with him ; the door of the kennel not opening readily, Mr. F. struck it forcibly with the butt-end of the gun, which caused it to explode, and the whole contents were lodged in his side, in the direction of the heart:—his death was instantaneous.—A Coroner's Inquest has been taken on the body. Verdict.—Accidenial Dcalh.—The deceased was the second son of BENJ. FOLLETT, Esq. of Topsham, 15 years of :iv, amiable, and well-beloved. PROSPERITY OF THE IRON TRADE.--.-At a Quarterly leetiiig oldie Iron•masters of Yorkshire and Derbyshire, held on Wednesday sennight, at the Tontine Inn, Shef field, we are happy to learn that that important branch of trade fully keeps pace with the increasing prosperity of the country. The general orders for metal are re presented to be equal to some of those brisk periods of demand which so frequently occurred during the late war, when a much heavier price was readily realised than it now bears. In the course of last week, the question of the town dues for the port of Bristol was brought before the CHANCELLOR Of .he EXCHEQUER and the Vlcz-Pazsz- DENT of the BOARD of TRADE, in London, by a depu tation from the Bristol Chamber of Commerce. The Gentlemen forming the deputation were very favourably received; but Mr. ROBINSON and Mr. GRANT were anxious to hear the case for the Corporation before they expressed their opinion, and Mr. DAVIS, the Mem ber, was accordingly authorized to communicate with that body on the subject. The deputation will probably report progress to the meeting of the Chamber this day. Thursday se'nnight a man of the name of Davis was committed to jail, charged with poaching on the manor of Sir ROBERT LAWLEY, of Canwell, near Litchfield.— This man was formerly an assistant to the game-keeper, and when taken into custody made a most desperate re sistance, firing upon the game-keeper and his assistant, s and wounding them both ; the latter, vet y severely. The Theatre of Parma is so constructed that a piece of paper torn at the very back of the stage is heard all over the house. The Act of the State of New Jersey, just passed, to " abolish imprisonment for debt in certain cases," pro vides that any person arrested for debt, dr on execution, shall be discharged by the officer, on giving bonds to the plaintiff, that he will appeal at the nest County Court with a petition to be discharged from the debt under the Acts of the State ; and, if refused a discharge by the Cow t, that he will then surrender himself to the 'Sheriff or jailer to be detained according to law. JEWISH LIBESALITY.A letter from New Orleans, dated November 23, says,—" The Presbyteriau church in this city was sold last week at auction by the Shad; to pay the debts owed .by the trustees. Mr. Judah Truro- was the purchaser, for 20,000 dollars. Although of the Jewish persuasion, he bought the house that it might not be converted to any other use than that for wtuch,it was intended." BIRTH& SPORTING INTELLIGANCE. BETTING-ROOM, TATTERSALL'S, JAN. 29. The Betting-room was attended by few, excepting these sport. Mg Gentlemen who usually lay the odds, coosNuef tly there w„ s scarcely any business doing.

Harper's dug Fly and the famous Royston bitch Van, were run yesterday morning on the environs of Ashted Park Manor, Herts. The first match was won by Mr. Lanibton't, after an excellent run of three-quarters of a mile. The second was equAliy as fine a run, and was won by Fly.

Captain Mimes, of Waddon, Berke, started at ten o'clock yester. day morning, to go by way of Oakingham, front the City, 140 miles, in 48 hours : namely, to Weyhill, near Andover, Hants, md return.

This match, which was for ieo sovereigns, and which had been twice delayed, took place in a full ring, and it excited much intere,t It was a determined claifliet of an hour and a half's duration. In the first rour,d, after manoeuvring for the first hit, an txchangt, of counter-hits took place, and produced the crimson hue, and born were grassed. The second and third rounds were slaughter* ones, aild lasted twenty minutes, at !he real take and give. Johnson had the best the last, in some gallant exchanges, inn he was dropped, in beic;; too hasty. 4. Harris took the lead in this, and kept it till the 7th, when a rattler in the jaw stopped his fastness, and floored him. ~ Until the 15th round the combatants were at bellows-mealdiug, with pimples much queered. The 15th, 16th, and 17th produced a copious display of claret, and Harris, after getting a smart lugger on the left side, seas A abroad. The battle continued to the S7th round in manly style, ani weight at length overpowered Ilarritt. The Illack won with inu,a difficulty. It is not, probably, generally knerstirl that the venom of the bee bears a close resemblance *that of the ripe:. It is contained in a small re,iele, and has a hot and acrid taste like that of the scorpion. A very extensive fraudulent practice has been carried on for a considerable time, but which has lately been de tected by a • mere accident. A Gentleman had pur chased second-hand silver forki-add spoons at a fnede up sale, to the amount of tWenty'pounds, and, flush with his bargain, he went to kis si!versmith to request that he would erase the crest which was on the forks and spoons, and engrave his initials on them. The save:- smith examined the articles, and immediately found that both the duty and Goldsmiths' stamps were ' forged ones, and that the silver was far below the re gular standard; this he communicated to •the Gold smiths' Company, who will immediately :aitt proper steps to check the mischief, and to protect the Public from imposition. Such is the efect of perseverance and industry in the science of Medicine, that great numbers, many of whom bad lingered under the moat painful and obstinate disorders, who were pronounced incurable by respectable practioners, and several discharged from Hospitals, have been restored to perfect health by the celebrated Dr. EADY, who, after a long and laborious prac tice. is enabled to remove the most obstinate Venereal Cothplaints, however long and deeply fixed in the habit.—Ertiptions, Pains in the Limbs, obstinate (Meets, Dimness of Sight, Nodto on the shin , bones, Ulceration, and Sore Throats, are among the symptoms arising out of improper treatment, and which without timely as sistance prove fatal. The Doctor is consulted daily by patients of both sexes, at 3s, Dean.street, Soho, and 1, Hatfleldotreet, Stam ford -street, Illactfriars and Waterloo Roads, by persons front every part of the country, and by Letter (if post paid) enclosing a fee.
