• , 1,41/ INTSLLIGENCL . • COURT OF CitARCERT, Ocv. 30. . The Loan CHANCIILLOR came down to the Court —tl;is mornitig,pursuant to notice, for the purpose of de livcring certain judgments. There was a tolerably full aaendance of the bar. His s Lordihip had all his judg ments written, and read them in succession imme-tately cut taking his seat. The several causes to which they r4med. had been beard during the preceding Teems. WiNTRIL D. LORD ANSON. The question in this case was, whether the vender of an estate retained a lien upon it for part of the purchase money which continued unpaid, 'under the following circumstances? One Moseley entered into a contract fix the sale to Winter of certain lands upon specific teems. The contract was afterwards completed, and a conveyance made to Winter, in which the purchase, amounting to 1,4801. was stated to have been paid. This statement, however, was incorrect; only 4301, wets actually paisti, and the remaining 10001. was secured to the stoMfer by the bond of the vendee, pay able twelve months after the /death of the vendee. Upon this arrangement the vendee was let into pos session, which he continued to enjoy until 1817, when he became bankrupt. His assignees then sold the estate to Lord Anson, agreeing that he should retain in his hands 1,2001. part of the purchase money, as au indemnity againtt any claim that might be made by the vendor or his representatives. The vendee'died, and the bond became payable; the assignees resisted the payment on the ground of the bank' uptcy ; and on ' behalf of the vender, it was alleged that the bankruptcy , could not control his lien on the estate. It was, hts Lordship said, a general principleof equity, that a vender had a lien on the estate he sold for the amount of the purchase money. or such part of it as remained unpaid. The plaintiff in this case had done nothing, as it appear ed to him, to wave that right. There was nothing either in the transaction itself or in the instruments, which ought to deprive him of the payment of the pur chase money, and the circumstance of his having agreed to postpone it until after the vendee's death did not alter this view of the case. The case of Macreath and Sy monds bad been relied on in argument on the other side, bet his Lordship thought it bore no analogy to this case. The annuities there acre decreasing in value deify; here the sum was secured to be paid entire. His Lordship therefore decreed that the defendant, who stood in the shoes of the vendee, (and it was upon this puha that he decided the case), should be decreed to pay the suns reserved. THICAMTORNIT GRNIRAL AND TIM CORPORATION 01 ILL EM IL. This was an appeal from a decision of thelate Master of the Rolls. In the reign of Henry VIII. certain land ed property in Devonshire had been conveyed to the corporation of Exeter, upon trust, to lay' out the pro ceeds in alleviation of the burdens on the poor of that city, and otherwise for the relief of the poor of tl.e same place. The information stated, that at the present day the corporation disposed of the fund thus placed in their hands in payment of two lee hum rents, which must otherwise be raised by means of a rate, in affording food and other neceisaries to the prisoners in the city gaol, and in alms to such of the poor inhabitants as did not receive parish relief. This, Iris Lordship thought, was a proper distribution of the funds, and he did not feel inclined to disturb it. It was suggested by Conusel,ihat an inquiry ought to be made into the funds in•the hands of the corpora tion, and this, after some diicussion, was ordered. IN RR CHARISM; A BANKRUPT. Mr. HoRNZ appeared in support of a petition pre sented by De Begnis, of the Italian Theatre, who stated that he was a creditor under this commission, and that the assignees proposed to open the theatre on their own actouct. To this, as it would of necessity postpone the period :AI which a dividend might be. declared, he ob jected. lle had no objection to being engaged at the Opeta House, but he did not think the assignees would discharge their duty to himself and the other creditors by entering into the speculation of opening the theatre. It was intended also, he understood, to open much earlier than usual, and therefore this application was macfe fit the first opportenity that occurred. The Loan CHANCELLOR said he thought there was no reason for taking the petition put of its due course. He intendecho proceed with the bankrupt petitions im mediately, and hoped to get through with them shortly. The present petition was, therefore, ordered to stand over. IN RR ZUMMERSETT. Mt. Rosa applied for an order, that a second com mission might be issued in this matter, and directed to othei Commissioners. The commissioners, before whom the matter had already been, thought there was not sufficient evidence pf trading to justify them in adjudg ing 'the bankruptcy. The petitioning creditor was de. mons of taking the opinion of other commissioners.— The Counsel argued that a commission was a wtit which any creditor had a right to sup out, and which this petitioner might do, but for an order of the Court, which directed, as a matter of practicg, that the same' creditor should not issue a second commission while a former one remained undisposed of. He then stated the . substance of the affidavits, to prove, that the person, against whom the comtnission•was issued was a trader within the meaning of the statute; and alter some con versation With the Lord Chancellor, the•secoad coup Di s, sion was directed. , CQLUIT IiENCEL, vt;esrsarvsess, Prior LOra TistTrAuut ancrCompula thnies. /MOULT AGAINST R• DOWNIE, SEQ.

Verdict for the plaintiff. s —Damagili 7 ,KAY V. WILLS Abll,*latlklClL This was an acorn for a tavern bill: Mr. Taurounn opened the pleadings, and Mr. C, PHILLIPS stated the care. T. e pfaintiff (Mr. Kay) was the : proprietor of the Albion Tavern, Atd agate-sweet, and was, as probably several of the Jury kuew, a most respiretable man. The defendant John Wilks was alto a person of whom the Jury had probably heard before. When the debt wa, incurred, he and the other defendant, Mr. Verbeke. were In partnership together, in the business of &Mir: nies. In one of tl.e •.rious public schemes which Mr;., ' Wilks's genius originated, the present action bad else' its origin ; for in order to celebrate eithee the bitch # the anniversary.of one of those schemes, cite defendants called upon the plaintiff and ordered a dinner for 74 Gentlemen, in which they gave particular directions that no ,expeuse should be spared. In the plan for this dinner Mr. Wilks certainly sulfa oat an original scheme, for he ordered pink cards to be prepared, and sheet a map hr the tables. with the places where the guests were to sit marked in numbers upon it, and to each guest, en his entrance, a ticket, with a comer pond.ng number, was given; on producing which, he was immediately 'hewn to his seat, *here he had no thing to - do brit to realise the scheme laid beforerl inn. The bill was - certainly large; bet when the Jtiry considered the order that was given; and when they were told whet was placed upon ae table, they would not deem it unreasonable. The dinner began with mock turtle—there was a crusade of larks, and an is• numerable quantity of other dishes, the whrsle ending with a cabinet , pudding, intended, no doubt, to reprs sent the place grime Nlr. Willis proposed that he shoutd end his schemes. No less a quantity than 136 bottles of the best wines the Continent could produce were drank upon the occasion, a band of mus:c was in at tendance, and there was a superabundance of all deli cacies. The dinner, as might be expected, went off extremely well, and Mr. Willis and all his guests left the tavern delighted ; the pleasure nf the latter, he hoped, had experienced no drawback, but Mr. Willcs"s delight ceased when the day of reckoning came: The bill was deliveied, and Mr. Wilks acknowledged that • the dinner was as-good as could possibly be, and pro- mired to pay in a short time. Mr; Verbeke also pro mised that the bill should be paid, and these promises mere frequently renewed,. but never kept: • At last, however, a proposal was Mae to pay by long bias, which would falldue Much ibout.therime:thowthe pre. sent Parliament wi.nld terminate; bat thet.ilaintiti, thinking he had waited long enough, broughais active. in whisb.Mr. Wilits.pleasled that he.was a Prtember of P..rliament s and might not to be sued in the mane man .ner in which other attornies were made toVartheir debts. His plea was, however, overrule:.:, t• William Whitelock, the plaintiff's clef k, examined by: Mr. TALIOCRD, proved, that the defendants came to the Albion, and ordered the dinner.. Seventy-one per sons dined. Nothing was said about expense, but the order was, that the dinner slionlJ be provided in the handsomest manner possible. The dinner was on the 21st of January, 1826. The bill was 2521. 15s. The defendant's Counsel said a few words, after which a verdict was taken by consent for the amount. 0164 iisr - .6644 9.4/ma. wb. l ately dit: .

" Arralt, then. won't you give me up toy child?' said she.
