MARCH OF INTELLECT IN IRELAND. _- A Parent asled the Prir't his Boy to blew, Who forthwith charged him—he must first confess. " Well," said the Boy, " suppose, Sir, I am willing, a' What is your charge "—" To you.'tis but a shilling!" " Must all men pay? and all men make confession?" " Yes, every man of Catholic profession!" " And who do you confess to?"—" Why—the Dean." " And does he charge you ?"—" Yes. a whole thirteen." " And do the Deans confess?"—" Yea, Boy, they do, " Confess to Bishops, and pay smartly too." "Do Bishops, Sir, confess? if so—to whom ?" " Why they confess, and pay the Church of Rome." " quoth the Boy, " all this is mighty odd, " And does the Pope ccnfess r-" Oh yes, to Goa." 44 And does GOD charge the Pope ?"—" No,".quoth the Priest, s' Goo charges nothing."—" Oh, then GOD is best; " GOD is able to forgive, and always willing; " To Mar I shall confess—and save my shilling!" LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, !Cm 11. I.IURRAY V. HEATH AND OTHERS. Mr. HORNE moved, by way of appeal, against an order which the Vice Chancellor had recently made in this cause. It will be recollected that an injunction was obtained by Mr. Murray, the bookseller, against the assignees of Mr. Charles Heatti, to restrain them fiom selling certain engravings vat ich were a part of his estate. It appeared on that occasion that Mr. Mur ray had employed Mr. Heath to engrave fer him certain plates illustrative of the works of Lord Byron and Mr. Crabbe, and that Mr. Heath bad retained a certain number of impressions for his own use, in accordance with %%hit was said to be the practice of the trade in this respect. When the injunction was granted, tfe Vice Chancellor directed an issue to be tried at law, for the purpose of ascertaining whether such an wage existed or not? On the trial of the issue, which took place in the Court ofr Common Pleas, the Jury found that it was the practice of the en gravers, to retain impressions of their works " for their own use and benefit," and they were about to pronounce upon their right to sell these copies, when Mr. Justice Gaselee told them that there was no such point in the issue, and their verdict was confined therefore to the usage. On a motion being made to dissolve the injunc tion restraining the sale, the Vice-Chancellor said the verdict of. the Jury sa as not sufficient, and directed an action of hover to be brought for the purpose of ascer taining the sight to sell the copies, at the same time con tinuing she injunction. The Lotto CHANCELLOR said it was clear that an action of trover could not ascertain the point in ques thn, because t' e right of possessi, , n, which the Jury bad already found, would decide such an action. Mr. HORNS concurred in this, and enlarged upon the great hardship which the as iguees sustained, in being led into such expensive proceedings about a matter so unimportant —the whole. value of the plates not amount ing to 81. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL (M ill) *born was Mr. STEwART) opposed the motion, and insisted that the questior, hot , ever twin putt int it might seem to be in value, was of gnat consequence to Mr. Murray as a puhloher, and to the whole (lade, because the principle would extend to matters o•f much greater moment than that now in disput... Me contended also, that the mo tion ought not to be entertain:d, because the order agains sah:ch it purported to be an appeal had not yet been drawn up. It was true, that the Vice-Chancellor had pronounced such an order, and it had been entered in tl.t register's book, but it had not yet been reduced into such a form that the Court could deal with it. A d►scu,tion enst.ed i n this point, when The Lona CHANCELLOR said, if the parties insisted t n it, they had a right to have the que:von decided, notw th•tanding the small value of this particular sub ject. lle th..ugl t that an acti.m.oti the case should be brought with a count in tiover, which would raise the point, acid he therefo►e ditecied such an action, which should be tried at the sitting, after the present term I and in the mean time he ()Meted the injunction to subsist. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Wiernawrsca, CARPENTER V JONES AND OTHERS. Nov. 11. This was an action tot libel, tried at the last sittings here. The plaintiff is a cal vi r and gilder at Bath, and the libel imputed to him, that having to frame a va luable picture for a Lady at 114th, Le took out the ori ginal, substituted a copy, and afterwards boasted ef what'he had done. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff--Damages, ls. Sir J. SCA KLETT now moved for a rule to show cause why a new trial should not be had.: A justification had been pleaded that the libel was ttue ; and a prison of e name of Stafford, who was at first included as a deendant, distinitly proved that a copy had been substituted for the original l icture; that the plaintiff b •asted of it, saying that a copy was as good; and, after Mr. Staffold l•ad concluded his evdelice, a per:ect stranger, who was sitting in Court, jumped up, and said he wished to 4e examined for the sake if justice. Mr. II ougliam, who was for the phin tilf, examined h.ni. Aled he swore that Mr. Stafford was a man of had . hal acter, and wholly unworthy of cre dit on hi oath. Sit J. Scaltot cross-examined him as to what bintigl t h m I ete, and he said that he was attend ing a cause in Chancery, but Le had had no communi cation with the plaintiff whatever. The present appli cation was loanded opus affidavita, showing that ahis ' stranger was an uncertificated bankrupt; that he himself, was of a bad character, and ought not to be believed ; Inrieaver, that he had been in communicatiun with the vlaint;ff on the very day befoie the trial for several hours, and had been in a privateroom with him. thher afrt:lavits showeJ de.laiations on the part of the plain tar and his attorney, that Stafford was included in the i.±-caration at first, to preveat his giving evidence: but as it cleat ly appeared that Mr. Stafford had nothing to with the libel, he was acquitted, and then suffered to I'se evidence. The Limed Counsel said he made this roti:ion on the grounds of surprise, and conspiracj on the other side.—Rule granted. TATTISON L. JONZS. This WAS an action of libel brought by the plain:iff, v. .!..o lived as servant with the defendant, the Marshal I f the King's Bench, for an alleged libel, in which be obtained a verdict, damages 801. Sit JAMES SIIARLETT moved for a role to set aside the verdict on the grounds of mi.ditectam. The Learned Judge (Lord Tenterdei ), in his charge to the Jerry, has. ill said h.: left it to them to say, whether the letter (the cau.e of the action) was a privileged conimuniccion under the circumstance,? The Coma were of opinion, that the letter having been wi it ten to the plaii.t ff's then master, reflecting on his character, and the latter writing to the defendant in answer to be more explicit, did away ith the right of the letter being a privileged one.—Rule refused. GLASSPI)OL V. Y UN(. This was an action of troffer against the Sheriff of Surrey. A judgment for 140!. being obtained against a person named Meeting, the defendans, as Sheriff, sold the furniture of Meering's house. He alterwares te ceived notice from the plaintiff that the goods wese her's. She had passed under the name of Nleering ; but the fact was, that Meeting's wife lived i n Devon shire, and that he had married the plaintiff in London, but when she discovered his former marriage she lelt him.—The verdict was for the plaintiff. Sir J. SC ARIA= now move.] to enter a horsuit. on the ground that the plaintiff bad acted in such a way As to make the %mid believe she was V. e wiieof Meer ing, and that she must take the consequences of her own conduct. The COURT granted a rule t-1 show cause why a oonsuit should not be entered, of the verdict reduced to 701. the sum for which the goods sold. NAYLOR V. TAYLOR. This was an action on a policy of Insurance effected on the brig Monrch, on a voyage from Liverpool to Buenos Ayres. There was a stipula ion in the p !icy that if the port of Buenos Apes was in a state t.f block ade, the vessel should be at liLetty to proceed to any otller Fort to discharge her cargo. N..tice of the bl ick ade was given be:ore the vessel sailed, arti it ;tope tied that when the ve,sel at rived off MotsteVideo,thellaranga, a Brazilian brig of war, came up hnd ciptured he,, taking her into Monte Video. After some days a Bra zilian crew was put on board, and the ve.sel sent ell for Rio Janeiro, to he adjudged on a charge of breaking the blockade. Oa the passage the English Master and four of his old clew, who were on board, rose against the Brazilians, and ore, powered them. Having put the BlaZ liars into a boat, the Captain and his lout mvn took the vessel safely-into Liverpool, where the cargo was landed. Sir J. SCARLETT now moved to set the verdict had for the plairt , ff, on the ground that the Cart tin had no right to retake the ship when It was under sivizure by a Brazilian officer, such vsnditct being against the rules of Nations, and a breach of the blockade. It was im possible, too, that the insurers could recover for a total loss, when the cargo was safe in Liverpool. The Court granted a tole nisi. TONKINB SAVART. Sir J• SUABLE IT sated that in this case, the plai stiff being desirous to purchase some shay es in the Continental Gas Company, embed to the defendant, who i, a Looker, to purchase the Shares. There were two desci iption of Shales in the market at this time, one belonging to the Directors, which bore a larger nominal premium than the other description, but which were in make at the same price. The plaintiff thinking the defendant charged him U. per share beyond the market price, brought his acti:in to recover that amount; but upon the circumstance being expla ned, Lnrd Ter ter den inti mated to Mr. Gurney OA he had better consent have the plaintiff nrn,uited, as it was clear the broker acted fairly. Mr. Gurney. however, insisted that the case shr,uld go to the Jury, and a verdict was taken for the plaintiff. Under these circumstances, the COURT granted a rule to show cause why the verdict should not be set aside. RATTY AND OTHERS V. BALDWI Sir JAMES SCAM ATT moved, on the part of the de fvndant, fur a rule nisi for a new trial rd this action, which had been brought on a bill of exchange, given by the defendant fora share in a weekly newspaper called the London Free Press. The action, which was tried at the sittings at Guildhall after last term, was deended on the ground that the bill had been obtained from the defendant by a repre,entation on the part of the plain tiffs that Mr. Joseph Hume, M.P. and Colonel Jones, were to be shareholders, which representation turned out to be incorrect. To prove the misrepresentation, a Mr. N , ,rthhouse. the editor of the paper, was called, but his evidence did not make out the defendant's case.— The defendant, however, was now furnished with affi davits, showing that Mr. Northhouse had made the re presentation upon which the defendant ieiie.f, and the Learned Counsel submitted, upon the facts disclosed by these affidavits, that (he verdict of the plaintiff ought 'to beset aside, and a rew trial granted. The Cooley observed, that as there was no other wit ness than Mr. Nort'ihouse to prove the representation, the defendant could not, on a second trial, carry his case further than he had done at the former one.— Rule refused. COURT OF CONIMON PLEAS, Wzmannza, Nov 11. HUDSON V. "alum This cause was tried- at Bury, before Mr. Justice Hootovn, at the last Assizes, the issue being directed by this Court to try the validity of a deed. Mr. Serge4nt WrLux said, he made this application for a rule Mai. Tbe verdict had negatived the Baud, and found it a pod deed. The facts tf the case were these—The defoliant, a young man possessing eon si. dee able property, ha:•pened to be in the King's Bench, where the plaintiff had same conversation with the de fendant; it appeared the defendant had not an attorney, and the trusts of this deed were secured to a person named Brown, for the expenses of preparing the deed from Riven to Hudson. The deeds wert executed in blank • hen the accounts were not settled, and Brown afterwards inserted the amount in• the deed, making some erasures and alterations, to which he obtained the signature of one Columbine, some time after they were made, and in the absence of the executing witness. Now the grounds on which he a pplied for the rule w ere. first, could Brown be a witness to prove the validity of a deed in which he was trustee? and second, could it be a good deed without a new stamp, alterations having been made without a new deivery ?—Hule granted. SIMON V. ILSIIII4IIBIII. An application fur a rule was made in this cause. which has so frequently appeared beim e the public. The original action was brought to recover the amount of good% furati.hed to the defendant's wife * such as silk ►tockings, shawls, and ankles of that description. The defendant resisted the demand because the plaintiff had trusted his wife without his knowledge or consent. The Jury at the trial found a •erdict for the plaintiff, da• mages ten shilling•, intending to fie the defeatism with the costs. The CHM Justice animadverted very strongly 'pan the conduct f the Jury, and said, to stop all lurther litigation, he would now cer city to deprive the plaintiff of costs. ARCHES COURT, Nov.

This was an appeAi from the Ecclesiastical Court of Cardiff; the defendant bad been sei.tenced to perform penance is the parish church during the time of divine sea . ice, fps defamation, from which 'moose he appeaed to ibis Court. Sir J.

This was a suit instituted by Major Hantetton to pro cure a &voice a measa el Mom from. his wife, Mrs. fsahella Hemet ton, on the alleged ground of adultery on het p •rt. D. LUSH I NGToN, for the complainant, read over very voltinth , ous depos lions of several witnesses, in which, though no positive act of criminality was proved, cis ►umstances of such a nature 'ere stated, as to place it beyond a doubt in his (Di. L.'s) mind, that such an act did repeatedly take place. Di. Itishington then read over several letters found rn the possession of Mrs.--fia-• me. ton, and written to her by Mr. Bustle, in which were expressions of the most unbounded love and passionate attachment. One of them beg se, ee My dearest, my beloved, my idol zed Isabella," and went on in a most unegnivrcai strain, until it came to a passage- 41 0h !I would I could once more clasp you to my heart." Dr. Lushington said that he conceived that he had laid suf.! ficient pre of Wore the Costa to satisfy it of the right of his c:ieta to the relief be claimed. But he had still stronger. The correspondence of Mrs. 114-fa non and Mr. Bushe was discovered on the 25th of March, 1827. Since then, and in the present year, he had the deposi tion of another witness to prove that both parties, them residing at Paris, were in the constant habit of sisiting each other at their tespective lodging', and remaining together for a considerable time. Dr. Jett N sa, for the dellsdant, also went through the depositions, and contended that there had not been a single word of proof brougl t forward to attach crinti• n ility in its fullest extent to Mrs. Hamerton—tine, the had been in the habit of meeting, and fften meeting, Mr. Bushe at Cheltenham, but then it was in the house, and always in the presence of a highly respectahle lady, Mrs. Mathews, anal in her parlour. The depositions said that Mrs. M. was sometimes in the habit of leaving them alone f a a short time, and at such times the parlour blinds were pulled down ; but what amount of guilt did that Drove? He (Dr..lenner) acknowledged the conduct of Mrs. liamerfon t.) have been in The greatest degree improper, but he de6 •d his Learned Friend to show fiom the depositions, and letters together, that the in-J tet course between her and Mr. Bushe had reached the full length al criminality. As to the letters on which so much stress had been laid by his Learned Friend, they were all of tls'm evifetitly prospective, and did not con tain a line that proved that a criminal intercourse had taken place between the parties prior to their having been written. With regard to the Paris deposition, it was most loose and general ; it stated having seen M.S. Ilamerton go into a house, and some time after Mr. Bathe leave it ; but it said not what house it was, or whose, or who lived in it. lie (Dr. Jenner) trusted the Court would nut grant a divorce in a case so lamely made ottr. Sir .I. NICHOLL postpnned a farther hearing till nest Curt day. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Mr. Williams, of the Post Office Coffee-house, St. Martin's-le- Grand, complained of the conduct of the Light Dragoons who formed part of the Lord Mayor's procession on Monday. He said that, as a citizen, he felt very jealous of military interference and encroachment, and he wished to know whether horse.sul.liers were not ,amenable, as other persons were, to the law, against riding horses along the footway ? He was in Fleet-street about biz o'clock on the previous evening, when considerable alarm was created by several of the military. two abreast sometimes, passing along the foot pavem en t, an d d r i v i ng t h e passengers ei ther into the road or the shops. Ile remonstrated against this conduct, and the Serjeant of the party, by way of reply, drew biz sword, but did not aim a blow. Such menacing, in addition to the misconduct which bad occasioned some confusion and danger, ought not to be passed over, without as much notice as would prevent the repe tition of it. Fogg, the klarshalmao, said, he happened to be on the spot at the time, and attempted to prevent the sealers from keeping on the pavement, by seising the bridl e of the. Serjeant's horse. The Serjrant threatened to cur his head off, and he let go the horse's bead to save his own—(A laugh), lie was escorting the Judges to Guildhall, and the conduct of these soldiers added to the dill culty of clearing the way. Sir P. LAUIIIII said, the company universally complained of the obstructions they had misountered in the streets. If the soldiers bad assaulted any one, or committed any other breach of the peace, he should feel no hesitation in sending a warrant for the effroders. Mr. Wiliam, said, one of the soldiers tried to excite his borae to kick while on the pavement. His object was not to punish, but to prevent a recurrence of the fault, and this could be effected by making a representation to the Officers through the Lord 1111, Sir P.

John Priest, being sworn, stated that he was a stable-keeper, and lived in Mr. Woodwin's service. On the previous afterntam, is the absence of the foreman, the defendant struck a valuable horse, while ►e was cleaning it with the handle of a broom. Tito blow was trceedingly violent, and not only eat the animal severely on the bead, but felled it to the ground. In falling. its hisses were shockingly lacerated. After the poor beast bad been down, use defendant repeated his blows, and left it almost insensible fee some minutes. The primmer admitted that be bad knocked the b., down, but denied baying struck it afterwards. He warm artesian whew he did 111.

The wife stated, that she and her daughter bad bees ebeedeeed about a fortnight ago by the defendant, and that she had hest obliged In coesequence to obtain parochial assistant*. Her husband she described as a cruel and tyrannical man, who during the le years she had been his wife, had never allowed her MIRO, puts. Mr. Hatt* said. it was deplorable to see rich sebappbbsse be. twee* man and wife. The &leftism, in explanation of his conduct, doweled his help mate as a very so-sn yoke fellow, she having always pulled in a con trary dinettes to him. I ler eternal cry was, that she would leave him the bare walk, and then oblige him, in spite of hie tank to support her.

She Mit him without his consent, and carried o ff some feather bed s , an d between 201. ani ulsis property. As to his danghtm, he had agreed to pay Is. a week for her maintenance. Mr. Mau asked if this were the truth? The wife admitted that it was. 1 The defendant—Oh, she c an 't d en y It. I n consequence of her removing the things, I was seized upon for rent,and the remainder of my little goods was thus swept away from me, anit'l was left with only a couple of shins and the clothes I stand up in. Mr. Haul asked the wife where the furniture was? She answered, that it was safe. Mr. HALLS —You had better give it up to your husband, end return to hint? The wife replied, that she would not do either. Mr. Hascs—Then I wig not compel your husbead.to you. Your conduct h as been very culpable, and the law ea= a husband from the maintenance of a wife who vniuntatily quits I him. I shall grant no Order, the defendant must be discharged; and if he can lay his hands upon his property,be will be fully war- rented In seising it. Wives must be taught that they may not act in ibis manner towards their husbands. The path!' officers bowed assent, and all parties then withdrew the wife in discontent at this very proper decision.
