LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, Dec. 9. iw Res CHIPPING soosuav CHARM OCNOOL. The LORD Citaxcaccoa gave judgment at considerable length. The main question was, whether this school, which bad been ori ginally instituted by a decree of the Commissioners. under Cha ritable Uses in the third year of King Charles I. a free grammar school, with an eadowment of £2O a-year for the purpose of paying a schoolmaster to teach the sons of the townsmen of Chipping Sodbury, remained a free grammar school? And a decree in the year 1694, pronounced by the Commissioners under the statute, confirmed the former decree. From that period down to the appointment of the Gentleman who filled the office of master, print to the appointment of the present master. all the appointments had been of masters to fill the office strictly as that of a free gram mar school. During th- latter stay of the present master's pre- decessor, he taught reading, writing, and arithmetic, as well as the learned languages. The present master objected at first to take the appointment of the mastership of the school as altered in its supposed nature, but on being sainted by the bailiffs and burgesses of the town that no further appointment could be made, unless of masters who could teach every thing, ?dr. Smith accepted of the office. He afterwards stated that he had not been aware when he took the office, that the school had been originallyformed a grammar schoool, and that it could not be altered by the Corporation. He consequently declined to teach any . thing but the learned languages, and the Corporation brought an ejectment to turn him out and re cover the school-house. The Master applied to the Vice Chan cellor for an injunction to restrain proceedings under the ejectment, which he granted, directing the bailiffs and burgesses to pay all the expenses, having been of opinion that the school was a free grammar school, and that the Corporation had no power or right to alter its constitution. Upon this appeal, he (the Lord Chancellor) perfectly concurred with his Honour in his view of the nature of the school, and therefore confirmed his order in all respects, except aa.to making the bailiffs, &c. personally pay the costs. Upon this point he promised to have some conversation with the Vice Chan cellor. He quite agreed that the master should be entirely indem nified as to every shilling of expense he bad been put to ; but it might be hard to make the bailiffs, & c. pay the coats out of their own pockets, because they might h ave thought, in the most' bona Me" manner, that in their view they were doing the best they could for the school; and again, if they were to pay them out of the Corporation funds, these funds might belong to other charitable purposes, and in th at respect such charities would be damnified. IN THR MATTER OF TNR MOIL 3. 1. IRRII4, • LUNATIC. The SOLICITOR.G ENRR A L said he bad a Petition to present in this case of rather an unusual kind. It prayed that the Right Hon. Viscount St. Vincent and Mr. Gatty might be ordered to deliver up the clothes, wearing apparel, toys, &c. of the Infants of the Lu natic. His L%rdship was aware that the Infants, under the order of the Court, were now in the care of Sir Dudley Hill, an arrange ment, it would appear, not quite palatable to the other side, for every species of annoyance had been adopted, for the purpose, he supposed, of disgusting that gentleman with his charge. When he called for them be was told that they were in the drawing-room, and he might go up and fetch them, for they would not be brought down ' and he was actually obliged to take them away is the clothes they h ad on, and their changes of linen were only forwarded on the others being returned. The children were now obliged to wear the clothes of the Dudley family. Mr. Houle, on the part of Lord St. Vincent, had no objection to deliver up all that was wanted. They would have been deli vered before, bat no order had been given by the guardians who had been ap pointed. A good deal of conversation ensued, during which the LORD CNANC TALCS said he had received a letter from Sir Dudley Hill, complaining of the rumours that bad been circulated. The COURT deeply lamented that such a case as this should be brought before the public, and ordered the prayer of she petition to be granted, but without costs. VICE CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Dec. 9. IN RR ssiaas, • RANIIRUPT. The Coos: gave judgment this morning in this case. A creditor of the bankrupt's, residing out of England, bad made an affidavit of his debts before a foreign eonsul, and the ques tion for the decision of the Court was, whether under the 20th section, cap. 87, 6th George IV. such an affidavit was to be re ceived and considered in the same light as an affidavit made be fore a Magistrate in this country. It was argued that it was so, but the Court thought that would be pu ting a construction on the 20th section which it did nut warrant. By the Bankrupt Act it was provided, that if a creditor lives out of England he must prove his debt by an affidavit, sworn before a Magistrate and attested by a Notary Public. The Court was clearly of opi nion the Act which made the affidavit sworn before a Consul equi valent to an affidavit sworn before a Justice of the Peace, could not be considered as giving the affidavit a character equivalent to that which the Bankrupt Act required. The language of the 20th sec tion of the 6th of George IV. was too weak to authorize the Court in coming to the conclusion that the affidavit was sufficient. The Court took exceptions and further directions to-day. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Dec. 9. GOWIIIIIIGS v. ILICZARD6OII. The Plaintil4 a grocer, at Norton Falgate, sought to recover a bill for grocery, supplied to the Defendant, for the use of " The Chartered Gas Ught Company." It was contended on the part of the Defendant, that the dealing for goods had been with one Gregory, who bad sold his business to the plaintiff ; but the Jury found a verdict for the Plaintiff—Da. rages .65 19$. 3d. AIIIIIONT V. Dramatic!). The plaintiff, a watchmaker in Clerkenwell, brought this action against the defendant, an attorney, to recover the balance of a bill for goods sold and delivered so long since as the year 1817. It appeared that the defendant. before he became an attorney, earrkd on business at Lynn, in Norfolk, and was supplied by the plaintiff with a quantity of aquatints and nitrous acid. Smte money bad been paid on account, but the balance claimed by the plaintiff amounted to £1 2. The defendant, to get rid of the demand. pleaded, first, that the cause of action bad not occurred within the last six years, and, se ,coadly, that the plaintiff had accepted of 47 in full of all demands. The first defence was negatived by a subsequent promise to pay. and the second afforded a most curious cross-examination. A wit ness, the defend nt's clerk, who was called to prove the payment of the £7 to the plaintiff in 1823, and the taking of a receipt, walla had been lost, made a remarkable figure in the box ; and the Jury were called upon by the plaintiff's counsel to give no credence to his deposition. The Jury, under all the circumstances, found a verdict for the plaintiff for the whole of his demand, GATRHOUSI V. ARNOLD. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a tailor, to recover :ompensation in damages for the loss of the services of his daughter, who had been seduced by the defendant. Mr. Gnanre and Mr. Krum conducted the plaMtlff's cue, and Mr. BROUGHAM appeared on behalf of the defendant. Harriet Gatebouseexamined by Mr. KeLLY—I am daughter of the plaintiff, and am between twenty and twenty-two years of age. I melded my father in his business as a tailor; have known the defendant, James Arnold, about seven years; be was in business as a surgical instrument maker; in 1827 he was an appientice tc. Mr. Riley, who lived opposite the plaintiff's house; he then came to visit me as a sweetheart, and promised me marriage as soon as he was out of his apprenticeship. 1011128 1 became pregnant. and on ibe 29th of September gave birth to a child; 1 was unable to assist my father in his business for two months before my cenfir.entent, and four months atter ; my father paid all the expenses of my con finement ; he kept me, and paid the nurse. The delendant had never given any thing towards my expenses. Cress-examined by Mr. BROUGHAI4.—Used you to work Cross legged on the asopboard 7—The witness refused to give any reply reply to the question, but smiled at it. Mr. Baounnast—Now come, Huriet, did you not sit Cron. legged on the board ?-1 believe I have worked cross4egged. Mr. BROUGHAM—AnaI so do I. Was it not on the shopboard with your father's men?—There was only my father and another peruse these. Mr. Baonouaw—Where did your father usually pass his even ings7--At the Bartholomew Coffee-house. Mr. Bammontw—Was it not called the Cock and Crown ?—No ; that house is In Little Britain. Mr. Baoanstsw—.-Have you ever been there ?—Yes. Mr. Baouassolshl sopposo you took soniething snug on those occasions?—l took 'something sometimes. The witness bete - admitted that she had way at the Cock and Crown as late as twelve o'clock at night ; and tit.' a person named Kinnard did give her money once, but it ua% for carrying an errand. She also admitted talking at night to young women, and treating a person at a public-house. The landlord of the plaintiff stated that he was tailed up to bear what Arnold said. Arnold promised to marry the girl u soca as be was out of his time. She wasa modett, virtuous girl, u far as he observed. Other witnesses were called, who proved the confinement In the father's house. For the defence, +evenl witnesses were called to impeach the daughter's character, but it appeared that they were connected with the defe`ndant, either by working for him, or by being related to persons who were in his employ. Mr. Justice J. Pau summed up the evidence, and the Jury re turned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages Xis. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Due. 9. Assautv—sumanousz V. LAVATZR. This was an action for damages for an assault and battery, com mitted on the Plaintiff, Lieutenant Moorbouse, an officer in his Majesty's service, by the Defendant, the first mate of the free trader Medina, on her voyage home from St. Helens, on the 2d of April last. Mr. Sergeant SPASMS, for the Plaintiff, stated that he had taken his passage from Bombay to England on board the Medina. On their arrival at St. Helena they took on toard several pas sengers, among whom were two ladies, Mrs. Bennett and Mrs. Gydion, with a family of ten children. The plaintiff bad been very intimate with Mr. Gydion, the husband, when at St. He lena, and consequently considered he might make himself more free with Mrs. Gydion on the passage than be perhaps would have done with a perfect stranger. Mr. Lavater, the defend ant, had thought proper to consider that some insult had been offered to the Ladles by the plaintiff, and a consultation had been held with the passengers about his conduct. The plaintiff sent for him to come down into the cabin, when be refused to at tend to it, and said he should receive no orders from him, but from the Captain." A dispute arose, and Mr. Lavater horse whipped him, from whom he had two of his teeth knocked out, and his eye dreadfully mutilated, and it was to recover compensa tion for this assault that be brought forward the present` ction. Captain Minten, a p meager , remembered the asault mmitted upon the plaintiff by the defendant un the 94 of April. - Mr. Shields, the second mate, deposed that he saw both plaintiff and defendant warning together on the quarter deck, and he was told by the Captain to separate them, which he did. Mr. Sergeant Vistas addressed the Jury, and said that Mr. La rater, his client, bad perhaps chastised the plaintiff; but it was on account of his conduct towards himself and the passengers, and he had acted under irritability, as an altercation had already aris►n, previous to their snivel at St. Helena, respecting the payment of the surgeon's expenses, which caused a coolness between the par ties, and he hoped they would be lenient in their verdict. His Lotman , said, that certainly an assault had been committed on the plaintiff; but it was for the gentlemen of the Jury to take into their consideration whether it might not have been excited through same misconduct of the plaintiff whilst on board the vessel. The Jury consulted for a short time, and returned a verdict of £lOO damages for the plaintiff. COURT OF EXCHECUER, Dac. 9. Sittings in Equity, in Gray's Inn Hall. ammo* is. MTN AND OTNINS. A Gentleman behind the Bar moved for an injunction, es parte, to restrain the Defendant from cutting down any timber trees upon some land in his possession. A Mrs. E. Smith left in her will the land in question, which consisted of about nine acres and a half, to the Defendant, chargeable with legacies to the amount of £3OO ; £l9O of which was left to the Plaintiff, the remainder to two of the defendants. Immediately after the defendant obtained possession of the land, he began to cut down the trees in a moat wastelul manner. He had not paid the lega cies, and the affidavits upon which the injunction was moved for, stated that unless the defendant was restrained from cutting down any more of the timber, there would not be sufficient left to pay the plaintiff's legaci►s. Lona Cum &ion—Take your injunction. IN to LOSD DIATOIL or LONDON. Mr. Vinton? stated that this was the petition of an Infant, for the investment of tht sum of £4,000 which had been paid by the Coporation of London for some premises that were required for the approaches of the New Bridge.

The owner at this juncture entered the premises, and succeeded in muzzling the animal ; but on the daughters of the sufferer. having remonstrated regarding the impropriety of allowing such a ferocious animal to go at large—at the same time remarking that it ought to be destroyed —the fellow most deliberately and wantonly unmuzzled the dog, and bounded It upon the defenceless you , g woman. She was se verely lacerated, and the police being then called in, the man was taken into custody, and the matter is now under legal investigation by the Authorities. Yesterday information was received at Lambeth-street, that a seafaring Man. named Simpson, mate of the Minerva. Lon don trader, was robb«ci on the night before by a woman of the town, of 95 sovereigns and a valuable watch, in 'a brothel in Shad well.

Bliuet and Ker had been denominated executors in the transaction from the commencement, although that was not precisely their cha racter. Mrs. Phillips had possessed no separate property, there fore could make no will, but, under the testament of her mother, she was vested with as power of disposing of the suns of 8€5.000 which she had accordingly appointed. - - - - Mr. Haus observeatizat be bad nothing to do with the pecu niary affairs of the parties. Mr. Cox stated he was aware of that, and only mentioned the matter to let it be understood that he and the Gentleman for whom be was concerned appeared there merely as private individuals.— Haying said thus much, he would humbly submit that the death of the late Mn. Phillips could be inquired into by the ordinary powers which Magistrates possessed. He would, he said, be able to show that Magistrates had such a power ; and that being the case, that it was their bounden duty at once to proceed to the investigation. Mr. Ha as said there could be no doubt of the power of the Magistrates to inquire, soon as the grounds or foundation for a direct charge was laid before them. He supposed that the parties now intending to make statements were furnished with evidence to bear these statements out, as he, as a Magistrate, could listen to no statement or information which was not ready to be verified upon oath. Unless some new matter bad transpired, however, he did not see bow he could properly interfere, as the matter bad already undergone investigation before a competent tribunal. Mr. Cox said, that as a professional man, he had taken great pains to furnish himself with aU the facts of the case ; but the in formation he bad obtained was mere hearsay, and he would be the last person to state any thing on hearsay. Mr. Haras—l don't object to hear even hearsay statements, pro- vided these are witnesses to substantiate them. Mr. Cox—The Coroner's Jury have decided that the deceased died from taking laudanum medicinally, but they neglected to ascer tain by whom the laudanum was introduced into the phial. Mr. Phillips alleges that it came there accidentally, and the Medical Gentlemen express another opinion, as no laudanum was mentioned in the prescription. Mr. Hatas—But I am not sitting here to say which party is right; I can't try that question; but if you have any evidence to adduce which will support a charge, I am ready to bear it, and I am anxious that no proceeding here should go forth calculated to injure any individual; at the same time the excitation of the public nund is so great, that I feel it my duty to receive any information tending to throw a light on this unhappy affair. Mr. Cox—Then it I understand you, if I hand is *emotes of different individuals who have made a statemrnts in writing, you will, if you consider it justifiable, call upon those persons to sub stantiate upon oath that which they alleged? Mr. Hauls—Not if those statements contain any thing short of a charge against some person or another. Here Sir Itacuaao BIRNSS entered the Office, and inquired if Mr. Phillips was present ; on being answered in the affirmative, Sir RICIIIAILD said, , 6 Mr. Phillips, is the statement which I have read in a newspaper, that you intended to apply to the laird High Chan cellor to appoint another Magistrate in my room, as I was unfit for my situation through prejudice, true or not I" Mr. Phillips said he certainly h ad stated that be would apply to Mr. Peel for that purpose, but he never intended it should get into the newspapers. Mr. Phillips then proceeded to make s long statement and com plaint of the hardship of charges being made from time to time, without any specific accusation being advanced. If there were any thing in the least to criminate him, be would cheerfully pay the expense of his own prosecution, or become the prosecutor of any person who might be supposed to be implicated. A long and desultory conversation ensued, which ended in Mr. Hans requesting that any one who might have information to give respecting this mysterious affair, would commit it to writing, and send it, sealed up, to the Clerk's office, when Sir R. Mama and himself would examine the contents, and, if they thought necessary, require all the parties to appear before them, but be wished it to be distinctly understood that no information would be received after this day week, for these conversations tended to cast aspersions upon persons who might be perfectly innocent.—The partlea then retired. LAMBETH-STREET. Yesterday, Thos. Deane, a wen-dressed and respectable-looking young man, was charged before J. Kaanwica, Esq. on suspicion of being engaged, in company with another person not as yet in custody, in a highway robbery, committed on Sunday even ing last, in Tbree Cups-court, Shadwell. Prendergast, the officer who apprehended the prisoner, stated that on that night hi question, as Mr. Guwry, au elderly gentleman, re siding in Lower Chapman-street, was returning home from church, two men followed him for some distance, and when they had reached Three Cups-court, knocked him down, and in endea vouring to possess themselves of his watch and money, succeeded only so far as to rob him of his watch and appendages. He, Pren dergast, iron the information he had received, had reason to be lieve that the prisoner was one of those concerned in the outrage, and he in consequence apprehended hint on the foregoing night, at the Cross Keys, lu Wentworth-street. If he was remanded, be hoped to be able to secure his companion.—The prisoner was re manded accordingly. Mary Williams and Jane Fogerty, two prostitutes, and Henry Row, a young man with whom the former cohabited, were charged, the two former with stealing, and the latter with receiving, a silver watch belonging to Timothy Halls, a constable at Wisbeach, in Cambridgeshire. From the evidence, it appeared that the consta ble, on the previous night. accompanied the female prisoners front the Pavillon Theatre to a house of ill fame, where the prisoner Fo gerty riled him of his watch, which she h anded inset to Williams, and she transferred it to her paramour Row. These facts were distinctly proved, and the prisoners were fully committed for trial. THAMES POLICE.
