Oo coming into Court he proceeded to give judgment in several cites which had been appointed for this morning. wassiaee 111/ ♦ WA ID IN CHANCINIT.NAN N. INCUMNION. His LORDSHIP. in reference to this case, said, I have looked over the Master's report, and find that the young' Lady for whose marriage the consent of the Court s now sought, has, both in possession and from tutu* expectations, a considerable fortune. It was stated to me, that the Gentleman was a surgeon, and I see no reason for thinking otherwise than that be is a persoti of great respectability. It was also further stated to me, that his father intended to take him into partner ship ; but all I can find is, that the young man is to be taken into partnership some time or other. This "softie time or other" is, however, an extremely vague anti undefined period; and I cannot help thinking that the father, if he wishes his ion to enter into partnership with this young Lady, ought not to postpone his son's partnership with himself to some time or other, but should admit him into it without delay. If, therefore,' he will take his son into partnership immediately, I hire no objection to the marriage of these young people. Mr. Wocorino—As boom as we have heard freak Ow cersatry, we wilt communicate the result to your Lordship. The LORD Camicestoft.—litis young Lad' has a ♦ery good fortune, and if the young man Were taken into partnership with his father, I should be disposed to relax some of the conditions by which it has been fet tered in the settlement which has been shewn to the court; because it has always appeared to me extremely desirable so to arrange the - fortune, that the parties might have an opportunity of disposing of it in a man lier which would best suit their mutual benefit alter ritatriage. COURT OP RING'S RIENCEIc Pima's 6. Agactitigrstits MILLIAMI ZOWAIID oIUo$ WAlltrlltab. Mr. Serjeant Caou moved for a writ of procedentia, to try the defendants at the next Assizes for Lancaster. A Certiorari, removing the indictment into this Court, hiti been obtained before Mr. Justice Bayley, at Chaos bers t and the Learned Sergeant now made his motion, , on the gtound that no good and sufficient ease could be made nut for taking the indictment from Lancaster. The certiorari had been obtained upon affidavits, shtwiim that the abduction with which the detendants stood charged, had been so often stated in the County Papers, and so much prejudice excited, that the defend ant could not obtain a fair trial in Lancaster. The , Paper which► had made the exparte statements, was the, Macdesfieli courier, which was circulated widely in Lancashire. The Learned Sergeant contended that no prejudice had been excited, and that the indictment ought to be tried in the County of Lancashire, where the parties were known. The Coca: granted a Rule ps phew cause. hlr. Sergeant Coosa made a similar nsotioo with respect to the Indictments of two others iMplicated in the transaction, and oho obtained a Rule. Mr. J. WILLIAMS, in a subsequent part of the day,, r.btained tl..e sanction of the Court for the service of tiel Rule on the defrodantiattorney. which is to be deemed geed service. C.ousv thee proceeded to Special cues. WINDL&Y C. TUX MAMMA or WatTifitAlll. this was an action brought by a tradesman against the defendant, to recover 801. odd, the amount of ne cessaries supplied to Lady Westmeath chatting her se paration from the defendant. At the trial the verdict was entered for the plaintiff, subject to a reference to Mr. Alderson, who was to decide is to law as well as fact. Mr. ALDERSON, on the face of his award; fend that a deed of prospective separation was entered into be tueen Lot d and Lady Westmeath, in 1817, but no ac tual separation took place. Another deed, apparently of actual separation, was entered into between the same parties in 1818, by which a separate maintenance Sires agreed to be allowed by the defendant to her Ladyship, bat after that period they lived together under the same root; they visited the Marquis and Marchioness of St. liabury, and resided in their house apparently as man and wife, and ii was only known to a female attendant of her Ladyship that they occupied separate beds.— After this her Ladyship refused to live with Lord West- Meath any longer, and voluntarily 'Separated herself from him, regardless of his entreaties and remonstrances that they should cootinue to live together. During this separation the debt in question was contracted by her Ladyship. Ti e Learned Arbitrator was of opinion that the Deed of Separation offliStB was invalid, as no actual separation toot place, and the plaintiff having trusted Lady Westmeath, while she was voluntarily, and without her husband's consent. separated from him, the verdict ought mire entered for the defendant. Alter Mr. Rasa was heard for the plaintiff, end bin Blokes= for the defendant, The Couar pronounced their unanimous opinion, that the Arbitrator was right in his conclusion of law from thefacts found on the face of the award. Upon princi ple, their Lordships were of opinion that tradesmen ought always to be considered as siting at their own peril, when they trusted a wire who was not living with her husband. The only ground upon which the plain tiff could recover in this cave, would be open the suppo sition that the Deed of Separation, ermined In the year' 1818, was valid, and that Lord Westmeath had se glected to supply the separate maintenance agreed upon for his wife; and even then, the Trustees were the per sons to compel him to adhere to his agreement. But the deed was Invalid, inasmuch as it recited a separation which was not founded in fact. The parties lived together ' ostensibly as man and wife for a twelvemonth after its execution, and then Lady Westmeath voluntarily chose to separate herself from her husband. Under these cit.- camstances their. Lordships were clearly of opinion that the Arbitrator was right, and that the verdict ought to be entered for the defendant. tali LINO IP. 'AIM Mr. Sergeant Wit.Da moved for a rule to shew cause why a criminal information should not be filed against the defendant, who h the Mayor of Powey, for alleged misconduct, tending to defeat the ends of justice. The Learned Seige ,nt stated, that an application was made to this Coutt in March last, for a criminal information against pencil ir. office in the Boroegh of Fowey, on account of corrupt practices rescrted to for election pur poses. On the occasion ti chewing cause against the rule. Mr. Bennett, the Deputy Mayor, made an affidavit, which became the subject of an indictment. A warrant was issued, and he was arrested on the 6th of Sep• tember. Having been taken to the Mayor's house, be entered into recognizance' to appear in this Court on the Bth of November. Some time after, it was &sere cog that Mr. Earle had aot transmitted the recogni• Lances to the Crown Office. On being directed torsions the same, he delivered recogniusces differing from those origninally tabor s . insomuch as Bennett was to , .appear, according to the pibper ft =isisance4 otf the Bth of November ; and in the meet sent by Mr. Bennett it was not stated when he wits to appear. The Loan Cuszli htsrios ordered the warrant to be read;'and finding that Bennett was to be apprehended and brought into Court on the Bth of November, grant ed the rule to shew caws. fill MD awrises. Sergeant WYLDI thin applied to file informations against Mr. Bennett, for refusing to grant summonses to persons who had refused to pay Poor Rates, and fot corruptly withholding toublic-house licences, whilst he granted the same licences to others. All these transfix tinny were described to be the effect of a corrupt party spirit, which has long disgraced the Borough of Powey. The Court granted a Rule to dm" cause why one or mare cri minal Informations should not be Sled against die defendant. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT. "lAA Or " Skirt Or Cali," ♦ Mina MS ?Kr LAWT2IIII.

Edward Roe, clerk to Messrs. Tooke and Carr, of Gray's Ina, agents to Mr. Burrish, of Birmingbant, ,produced the pleadings in Wheeler v. Gascoyne. It appeared by these documents, that in Hilary vaci tion last, the plaintiff issued a Staffordshire Ladle against the insolvent (the defendant in the action), whereupon he gave bail to the Sheriff in the usual way. On the following Easter Term special bail was put in, and iii the same Term the plaintiff bled a declaration. ,The insolvent then put in the following singular plea I to the action, which, by the witssess's account, proved a puzzler to the Staffordshire Gentlemen, 4‘ learned in ,the law." , Atter the usual preamble the plea ran thus: " And the said defendant in his proper person, comes and de fends the wrong and injury, and says he does not owe the said plaintiff the said several sums of money in the said declaration mentioned, or any of them or any part thereof. in manner and form as the plaint iff has above complained against him. And this he, the defendant, is ready to verily on proof. however the Court of oar' Lord the King, before the King now here, shall consider." i , It was intimated to the Court that this plea was in tended to have been made, conformable with a mode of defence almost obsolete, termed Wager of Lan." _ _ Mr. Hume said that Mr. Chitty ought to be here to explain k. The Cater COMMISSIONER (alluding, we imagine, to the case of Abraham Thornton's wager of battle) re. plied, that Mr. Chitty had been engaged in a memorable case of wager in connection with the sante County (Stafford).

This was an action brought against the defendant, who is a col mon cagier horn Exeter to London, to recover of him the sum of (even y-sevea pounds, (Or the loss of a box entrusted to his care, to convey by his waggon to London, in January last. Mr. ArroLenus was Counsel for the plaintiff, and it ,appeared that his client is an attorney residing at Exeter. In January, his son packed up a box, contain ing music books, valued at 831. other books valued at 211, jewellery valued at 151. and linen valued at 61. I6s. and it was left at the defendant's waggon office, at Exeter, to be conveyed to his waggon office, in London, l and a direction was placed on the lid, " To be left at Ruskell's Waggon Office till called for." The plaintiff's son, on calling for the box, was ,hewn another boa, but never recovered possession of his own. Witnesses were examined to speak to the value of the articles Which the hot contained. Mr. C.lPftsttttra addressed the Jery for the defen. dant. He contended chat the value of the contents of the box had been greatly exaggerated, and called upon the Jury to give only a fair Int d Moderate coppenntion to the plaintiff for Ms Icatu+The Jury gave eantages, Efrty-five Pounds. Last Monday, as Mr. Chapman, a builder, of Black land's Lane, in company with Mr. Wit iteh rad, of Chelsea, was driving in his horse and gig between Torches% Green and Hounslow, the horse took fright, and ran off at a furious rate. Mr. Chapman, in order to avoid the danger, jumped out of the gig, and such was the violence of the fall, that he unfortunately broke both his legs: he was taken up, and immediately conveyed to St. George's Hospital. Mr. Whitehead escaped unhurt. Pustic Cnaatrtas.—As we expected, the commu nity is likely to derive a material benefit from the in quiries now in progress into the state of charitable foundations, many of which had fallen into decay, more from the inattention than the direct cupidity or mal versation of trustees: An instance of this is afforded by Trounan's school, Bunhill-row, which, though hand somely ended as a free school of popular instruction,, and situated in one of the most populous precincts In the metropolis, had at the period of inquiry by the Royal Commissioners only twelve scholars.

Between ten and eleven o'clock on Saturday night. as a person named Smith was passing into St. George% Fields, he was beset by four men, who, flinging him down, stopped his mouth, and proceeded to idle his pockets. He struggled very bard, and endeavoured to prevent the man who was upon him from forcing his hand into his breeches pocket. The fellow cried to his companions, with an oath, " Lay it into him, I can't .get into his pocket." The men then kicked hhn in a very savage manner, and he struggled the harder to prevent the fellow from robbing ha. At length, get ting his mouth from under the hand of the ruffian who stepped' it, be cried out " Murder!" as loud as he could, when a man of the name of Jobn Collinson came :to his assistance, and seized the villain, who lay upon ,him; the remainder of the robbers made a precipitate retreat, carrying with them his bat. The prisoner, whose name is Robert Hardy, was conveyed to theNeer Bailey, and on Monday brought before the Sitting Ma ,gistrate, J. F. Foster, Esq. who fully committed him for trial. Mr. Smith stated, that he had about 15.. in his breeches pocket, which the prisoner was unable to get bold of, in conseq,uence of his (Mr. Smith's) strug gling, and the pocket being fastened with a large button. —About half-past eleven o'clock on the same night, a man who keeps carts was passing along Ttb-street, nest the Sbudehill market, when he was suddenly knocked down by a blow myth, back of his neck, and Mybat tell off. &m ay recovering himself, he b.:waddle helves attacked by six or seven yoong men, who polled up his 'frock and endeavoured to force their hands into his pockets. A private watchman, however, coming up, the fellows ran off, but the carter pursued them, and succeeded in securing one of them, *hem he delivered into the costody of the watehman. His name is Ben ' jitnin Bevill. The prisoner was blittegbt before the sitting Magistrate at the New Bailey en Monday morn ing, when the carter swore positively that he was OW of the men who attacked hint, and leaking at the:gal lery of the Court, he said he saw another of the men. The moment he uttered these words, a young man was seen to move rapidly amongst thetrowd. apparently en deavouring to make his escape; the o*cers, however, , sprang toward the gallery, and hec ur sig the man, placed hien at the bar. He said that his name was Moats Carroll. The carter was positive that he was the man' who snuck him on the back of the neck. The private ' watchman also proved that be was one of she men who I attacked the carter. The transaction took place under a lamp, snd he saw him distinctly as he was coming up to the carter's assistance. The prisoners were remanded till the following day (Tuesday). when they were again brought op. It appeared that the prosecutor had been induced by the friends of the prisoners not to appear; 'the Magistrate, however, committed them both to a month's imp isonment and hard labour for attempting to commit a robbery.—Mancliesier Courier.
