LAW IN*l ELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, Aucus? 18. DEW V. CLARK. Mr. HIALD appealed in support of a petition by the defendant, le - ho was confined in the Fleet for a contempt of the Court. He prayed that he might be discharged, upon giving lecutity for his te-ar pearance, and urien dering him•elf wi,enever he should be required. The LeRD CHANCELL• It $a d, this application ap peared to Lim extremely novel, and, as hew as at present inclii , ed to believe, without a precedent. Mr. L-lEALD said, the case was one of so great hard. ship, and in its circumstances so r ecoliar, that he he. bevel the Court would be justified in making a prece dent. Mr. Suctorti d. nied that there was any hardship in the case. The Court was called upon to do a thing out of its power. The application was neither more not less than that the prisoner should be allowed to go a 4 large upon bail, and if it were permitted, it would be directly contrary to the policy of the Court, and the just ce of the case. _ Air. Hutto said, the origin of the csie was alsuit instituted in the Ecclesiastical Court, respecting the va lidity 9f a will. The plaintiffs were residwiry legatees under a will, and the executor having refused to act, they had obtained administration of the estate of the testator. On the heating, the defendant, who claimed' to be entitled as next of kin to the deceased, was decreed . to pay 5,0001. into (court. This he had neglected to do; and on subseque t proceedings in this Court, he had been committed for his contempt. An appeal front the decision of the Ecclesiastical Court had been lodged, and was now pending before the Court of Delegates,' , but uutd it was heard, the unfortunate defendant would be compelled to lie in prison, unless the Court should grant the prayer of his petition. Mr. SUGDICN was quite ready, and indeed desirous, to go fully into the meritsof the petition. His Lordship •wi old then see, that so far from the defendant's having been treated harshly, he had by his conduct de served much worse. Mr. REALD Said, he hoped his Lordship would not be influenced in deciding the case by iscibe and detiamation. Mr. SUGDEN complained of this language, and ap pealed to the Court whether it was fit that such expres sions should be applied to him ? Mr. HEALD said, he meant to apply the expressions, not to Mi. Sugdi.n personally, but to repel the accusa tion which had been so needlessly made against I is client. Mr. SUGDEN said, he would nor permit such espres si ns to he applied to him under any circumstances, or by any person. Mr. H EA LD explained, that he did not mean to make Mr. Sugden peculiarly the object of his remark ; he had only meant to say, that noise and declamstion, wherever they came horn, would not lead away the judgment of the Court. After some further altercation, whiih was carried on in a low tone of voice, The LORD CHANCELLOR entreated the le.irned persons to refrain from the u.e of any irritating expressions, the' consequences of which must be painful and unpleasant to ever y person who heard diem in a public Ci.urt. His Lordship said he thought the prayer of the petition could not be granted in its present form. Toe motion ought to h , ve been for an order to enlarge the time for paying the money. Mr. SUDDEN was so well adsfied of the mtrits of. the case, that he would consent to the .motion being heat d on the pound *suggested . by the Coitrt. Mr. /kite declined this offer, and contended that the petition ought to be granted. l i ne LORD CHANCiLLOR said, that as he was at pre sent advised, he should not, he thought, be justified in granting the order. He would, however, consult some of the other Judges on the point. IN re 110LNIIiS. Mr. SUGDEN moved on a petition for a commission of lunacy again;[ the Rev. William Holmes, of North ampton. The accompanying affidavits stated various instances of unsoundness of intelkcr. Mr. HORNE, who opposed the petition, was not heard, his Lotdship being of opinion that further inquiry, which le then directed, should he had before the com mission could be granted. VICE•CHANCELLOR'S COURT, SUGUSI 16. LONGMAN AND Co. V. SMITH. This was an application to dissolve an injunction that had been obtained to restrain the defehdarft from pirating pity part of the additions which the plaintiffs had made to A new edition of the Abridgment of Murray's Eng lish Grammar. The case had been several times befne the Court, and was now finally disposed of. Mr. Smith, t' c defendant, appeared in person to move that tbc injunction be dissolved. He said that the plain tiffs had firir of all sw nn that he had pirated sixty pages ; then that be bad pirated nearly the whole bunk ; and lastly, tl at he had pirated thirty pages.— How this contradictory swearing could be re. - onciledi he lett the plaintiff: to explain; but he was quite sure that it would not be tolerated iu any Court of Justice, and he did not think that the Court of Chancery would allow it. When the injunction was first moved for, he had agreed to offer no oppo , iti. , n to the motion, upon tit, express understanding uith Mr. Loraine, the pittintiffa . Counsel, that the plaintiffs should point out what passages they called their own, in order that he (Mr. Smith) might be enabled to avoid inserting them in his bcok. This they had sub • sequently refuted to do, notwithstanding their engage • sr ent ; and he now moceJ that the injunction might be dis solved. Mr. Smith assured his Honour that hebad evety disposition to avoid any thing like piracy, and all he 'asked was, that the plaintiffs would point out what part; of the book they called theirs, without which he might unintentionally appropriate to himself something that 'belonged ti them. Mrs SHADWELL, in support of the inkinction, con. tended that esti,' man ought to know what was his own, and had no right to call upon other persons to declare what their property was. Murder that he might not take it. its to setting fordo in the present proceed. _joss all the parts of the book which belonged to his shams, the request was perfettly tidsculuus. II such a line pf conduct were adoi.ted, motions for injunctions would be as long as the books to which they related: The I..earoed Counsel proceeded to argue in suppott ol injvnition. but Mr. Smith interrupted him so con' tinnady, that it was impossible to understand a word of what was poing c.n. The VIOL-CHANCELLOR told Mr. Smith he bad no doubt there was a very teapectable place in which he had all the talk to himself, blithe must not have it there.' Ile must not interrupt the Counsel. Mr. SHADIVELL continued.—lt was quite sufficient for his clients to slate generally that the wot k had been pirated by the defendant. The Vtce-CtraNcet.Lon said, the difficulty that nc curved to him wa,, that the additions of the plaintiffs might be so interlarded throughout the bimk, that •Mr. Smith might not know when ne was infringing their copyright. Mr. Suanwitt.t. said they had pot the book into Court with the passages marked. Mr. Smith—Yes ; but they won't give me that book, or mark another fir n e, in the same manner, although their own Counsel, Mr.L Iraine,piotnised me they would. The Vice-CtiaNCELLOR said he could have no know. ledge of any such agsieement ; and if he had, he could not enforce it. Mr. SHADVIELL said he had nothing to do with-any such agreement, and he conceived the ca.e to come before his Honour now de novo. Mr. Smith—Ye., that will answer your purpose very well, because it gives you an advantage; but it won't answer mine. I have got the case to this point—your clients made thisag reement, and I will have it performed. The VICE.CHANCELLOR laughed, and said this was as bad as Mr. Adams telling Lord Eldon he would make him give a decision in.a certain cause. Mr. Smith said, the way in which they had sworn would justify him in taking the case to the Old Bailey. • lhe Vicc CHANCELLOR explained to Mr. Smith that it would be to his disadvantage if all the parts of the book alleged to be pirated were put upon the record ; for if they succeeded in proving that he had pirated any part of the book which belonged to them, and that he had published the same, he would have to pay the costs of the whole cf the long an& expensive procee,?ings. Mr. Smith said he had not publi%ed any copies of his work. Mr. SHADWELL said they had a positive and uncon tradicted affidavit to the contrary. Mr. Smith said he had sent 1,100 copies to his book. seller, but they had remained in his watehouse, and were net her sold nor exposed for sale. The VICE•CHAKCELLOR sAid, in that case no profit had been made. He did not wish to persuade people to make affidavits, but it Mr. Smith chose to swear to what he now averred, he would dissolve the injunction. Mr. Smith, however, slowed no disposition to make this dffida•it. The VIce•CHANCELLOR said, the injunction must stand. He thought the order had better be to this effect: '" That the defe. dant should be restrained from intro. ducing into any edition, to be published by him, of the Abridgment of Lindley Mierray's Grammar, any of tae additions which the plaintiffs had made to the work." Mr. SHADWELL said, he thought the words " altera tions and additions" should form a part of the order. I The Vice CHANCELLOR could not allow the word " alterations," because they might have made some omissions which would be included under the word Mr. Smith said, they bad made omissions, and added • good deal of nonsense. They had omitted the sub junctive mood. The VICE-CHANCELLOR.—ReaIIy, Mr. Smith, you appear to be very much in the imperative mood to day. The injunction was then un '.ers•ci , d to be confirmed,l if his Honour did not mention it again. ASSIZE IN I'ELLIGENCE. LEWES, ACOUST BRYAN V. WHISTLER, CLERK. This was an action of trespass for breaking and enter ing a vault in the church of St. Clement's, Hastings, belonging to the plaintiff, and disturbing him in the possession of it. Plea, Not Guilty. Mr. Gummy and Nlr. CHITTY conducted the plain tiff's case, and Mr. MARRYAT the defendant's. The case proved in evidence was this:—The plaintiff was a Gentleman of fortune residing generally in Lon- don, but having considerable property in the neighbour hood of Hastings. The defendant was the Rector ofl the parish of Sr. Clement's, in Hastings. In the year 1819, the plaintiff was staying at Hastings with his family and a Miss Williams, a particular friend, who had for some years resided with him. In the course t f that year Miss Williams died, bequeath ing a considerable estate to the plaintiff, who, being anxious to pay her the last tribute of respect, ap plied to the defendant for permission to build a vault in the Church, in which the remains of Nliss Williams, and at future periods, those of others of his family might I be deposited. He acc , rdirgly applied to the defendant' for leave to build the vault, asking him what fee he would charge for his permission? The defendant re plied, " that he should open his mouth pretty nide, anci l l supposed that SOL would not hurt the plaintiff." After se.me discussion 201. was agreed upon, and that sum was paid by the plaintiff to the defendant, who there upon said, r. now, you may go to work a, soon as you please." The plait:tiff and the defendant and the par isli clerk then went into the Church together, and selected a spot on which tie vault should be built. The vault was, accordingly, built on that spot, and on the wall over it, a tablet, expressing t' at Miss Williams was butted there in a vault, " appropriated to the plaintiff and his f.mily,"was,with the knowledge and consent of the de. lendunr,esei.ted. These works together cost the plaintiff a 3RI if near Entry pounds. The day after the vault was finish d Miss Williams's funeral took place; the service being performed by the defendant, who then had an, opportunity of seeing the vault, which he examined.' and to which be then made no objection. The plaintiff then returned to hiindon, where be continued fur some years without ever revisiting Hastings In the year 1825, the defendant proposed to the parish desk, and some of .the other parish officer s, to open the plain:iff% vault, and to deposit there the • mains ot a youngLady.namedFit m• ing, then just deceased. This was cenumtiiitated to the I:laiutiff s w4premonstsatedrepeatedly with the defendant upon the subject, as did also the other panic. to whom the defendant had made known his intention. The de fendant, however, persisted, and accordingly bad the vault opened, and the corpse of Misr tning deposited in it. The plaintiff then wrote to the defendant upon the subject, to which the latter sent a urinal answer,' stating that the vault as as much Leger than he had in. tended it should be; that the language tat the inscription , on the tablet was la ghly obj ctionable; and that the fee of Alt. for s ermission to burl) the vault, was far ton small. He cm chided by stating, that there was plenty of room in the vault now , both for all the plaintiff's family, Dad for kb:l4W elm; and by requesting that if the plaintiff wrote again, ke woad pay the pave. In consequence of this letter the present action was brought. Mr. MARRYAT, inn the defendant, took a technical objectio.rto the form oh the action, which the Ltaraes. 'Judge reserved for the cons;Jelath n of the Court above, The Learned Counsel then itlitessedilte Jut y, contend. ing that no real injtny had been it.flrctr d unite the plaintiff; no tights had been infringed ; no feelings h a ,l been wouneed ; and the smallest possible amount of damages would, undfr such 61 runtst AnCe3, coroplrtriy sati-fy the jrts:ice f the ca,e. The Lrarned Jutscu summed up the ca. e to the Jury, whe, after a vet y short deliberation, limn& their verdict f. , r the plaintiff—Damages, Fifty 'Pantos ; subject, 4 tout sr, to the p .int of law teLet veJ. et DURHAM.

But if grown grouse be thin, there is no lack of bIAP cocks, partridges, and hares; and if the cheepers are respeeti, 3 s they ought to be, the lengthened nature of the shooting aurae will fully compensate for the want of smut and interest at tie beginning.
