IMF INTELLIGENCE. - COVEY OF CHANCERY. Mar 9. rs SHE .NATTRIII 01 Ear 0110011 Y PAGE Timm A LUNATIC. Mr. Prett.t.tmona appeased in support of a petition presented by the Committee of this lunatic. The object of this application was, thit the recommendation made by the Master, to whom the - matter had been referred, 'should be forthwith carried into effect. It was known to the Court that Sir Gregory P. Turner was in prison at the suit of several creditors, and among those credi tors one was an attorney, of the name of Wade. Mr. Wade's debt arose in respect of professional attendance, and he had been a witness to the execution by Sir Gregory P. Turner, of judgments and securities which had been given by him to Jews and other persons, with out having received any equivalent consideration. An action had been brought by Mr. Wade, in which he ob tained judgment, and on this it was that Sir Gregory P. Turner was now detained. The Master, in his re port, recommeoded an application to - the Court of King's Bach to set aside the judgment ; and it was to obtain the order of the Court to that effect that the . Committee petitioned. The LORD CHANCELLOR said be would read the pe tidos ;. pad in order that no unnecessary delay . might be Celt in consequence, he would, if he saw no objection, direct that the order might go, without the case being mentioned to.him agaic •VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, MAT 9. • TliS LAI'S OkbilLlNO TRANSACTION. Atiivio v. WALZOPD. When the ilegistrar called on this ease, which was set down in tire paper to be argued on a demurrer to the plaintiff's bill, . The VICS-CHANCELLOR in Inked whether any Gen- , tleman appeared in it? Mr../LNIGnT said, that he believed the Court would hear n o more of these cases. • The VIcE-CitAwcscLua—The demurrer must, of , course, be over-ruled, if the plaintiff appears; .if not,' the cause must be struck out. Mr, SOCDP.N, though he did not hold a brief in it,' was pretty certain that no further proceedings would kbe taken in this matter. CLAUGIITOV V ttloll. Mr. &moss slid he appeared to support the de mutter in this cause,' and he assured his Honour that this was one of the most vratiritri snits that had ever been brought into a •Ccitirt of Justice. Ti e &Antal,, instead of meeting this demurrer, hid not thought pro ' per to appear, so that the dfaureter must, of course, I be allowed. The VICE-CHANCELLOR said , he was de-ijeilly of opinion that cases of deniuricr•were too rnt,Cly encou raged by giting °ply small costs against the failing papty. Some years ago an order had been made by this Court to allow full costs in these cases ; that order, however, had never been acted upon, 'although in existence for many 'years. His Honour then said, be was of opinion that this order ought to be enforced in every case except where the demurrer_ was proper and row sonable. The way to be useful to the public was not Only to , na .ke useful orders, but to see that they" Were properly enforced. Hii.Hotiour then said, so important was the question,:that he should feel it his duty to con sult the Lord Chancellor upon it, with a view to (Armin his Lnrdship's.santtion to an order, by which full costs should be allowed where demurrers or •p!eas were, overruled, unless, as he before observed, they appeared to be reasonable, and wire calculatal to bring the ratites to a conclusion, by a short course, rattier titian-by .any skill in ple.ittingi Mr. SUOMI ob.erved, that his Honour the-late Vite- Chancellor had allowed him toll costs h•few.disys ago, in a case of detnurrer which he argued before hislionour.

V.OOOSINS. MrOgnEsty moved to set aside the verdict given foe the plaintiff, and to enter a nansuit in this action, which was tried before Mr. Justice Surrough. It was for the recovery of an o!d debt for goods sold; and the defend ant pleaded that be was, in Nlay, 1816, discharged un, der. the Insolvent Debtors'. Act of 53 ti.eorga..lll.4ts which the plaintiff, in her replication; set forth a setae:- quent promise. To prose this a man named Wesley, the sonirs-lawof the phiotiff , was called,who stated that the defendant,after his discharge.was chosen a pride offi cer, and had-summoned Lessen, the hitestate, to pay his rates; and that Leman asked the defendant when he would pay Wm what he owed? to which the'defend.rtit said "h is a just account, ar.d when it lays in my power I will pay it." Wesley also stated that the delenitantmet Mrs. Leman, the plaintiff, last year, and she said, " Why do not you pay me? Yon know you owe the money." And Wesley sad "Mrs. Leman will take it any way : 'where upon the defendant 6xed.to pay a, put of the .debt in three weeks or a month; but did not•specify what part, nor could the witnes, tell the precise wordi he made use of. - Mr. JEREMY submitted that the first promisor/Basin& ditional, and therefore if sufficient to onstainteaasiniock should have been specially declared upon; and that Ose second promise was not precise, and he further argued that the statutes of insolvency differ from the statute of limitations, inasmuch as they are in bar of the debt alto gether, and therefore that a subsequent promise was nuclion pacturn and void, the debt being extinguished by the statues,. which gives a remedy in rear, and a dis charge its persootta. After some discussion on the provisions in the Insol vent Debtors Acts, Mr. Justice BAYLAT asked if the Judge had left to the Jury the question of the defendant's ability to pay? Mr. JaRIDIT replied, that the Learned Judge unly went upon the asknowledgement of the debt. • Lord Tatentarms—Take a rule to shew cause. THE WAKEFIELD/I. Mr. BROCCIHAM, in the course of Abe 'day, said, that it had been agreed upon to enter a no{iprosequi with respect to Mts. Frances Wakefield, and that therefore the motion which the Attorney Geneial had leave to Make to-morrow would most probably be unnecessary. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. MAY 9. The Judges of this Court being this morning engaged ill the Exchequer Chamber, Mr. Justice PARK sat alone fora 0 ort time, takin g justifications of bail, and dis posing of a few mo tions of no public interest. The LORD CHUM JUSTICE sat at Nisi Prins at one o'clock. SIR JOHN DE BEAUVOIR V. STROCHLINO. This was an action of demi.

He now sought to tecover pos• session of a book of plates, which he alleged the de fendant improperly withheld from him. This book was of the value of 2001. or SOOL and •had been Made up at a great expense by the plaintiff. The man ner in which the defendant had got possession of it was thin s—He. was a ,Germen artist of some celebrity, and was employed by Sir John . de Beauvoir to paint his portrait, which he aecordingli aid, charging one hundred *guineas for it. Whila he' was engaged in paintink this portrait Sir-John lent him this collection of engravings, it being undeistered that he was to re turn it when the portrait was finished. This, however, the Gentleman bed•not thought' proper td do ; the por trait had been sent home, and lOU guineas paid for it ; but he had not returned the . plites, and whets applied to for that purpote he lensed fb* tin o. Whether he meant to say that habad noebeetiaailid • enough for , the portrait, and that, consequently, he, had diarained this book, the Learned Sergeant really did not know. After he had got possession of the buoVin question, he called at the house of Mr. Town, a celebrated collector of prints, in Bund-street, and said to him, I think pil l were concerned in collecting these prints?" and on being answered in the affirmative, he mid, 4 , Well, I have borrowed it, and do . not mean to return it ; I mean to do him out of it." The Learned Sergeant had no doubt that when he bad called witnesses who would prove these facts,'he should be entitled to the verdict of the Jury.

The allegations agairr,t the admission of the paper propounded, tended to impute Rio fraud on the part of some of the persons interested in its provisions; the deceased being at the time of unsound mind. .Tte question now before the Court was the admissibility of the articles, which, it was contended, were vague, irre. viler, and unintelligible. Sir-Joust NICHOLL thought that there was such a suspicion about the whole transaction, thai the Court 1 was boend to admit the articles to proof, with the ex ception of two, which he directed tote reformed. DOLE AND CAMP AGAINST DEWS AND OtHERS. WilliaM Duke, of Bexhill, the testator in this case, died in, October, 1826, at the age of 91, leaving per sonal property to the amount of 40,0001. besides areal estate worth three thousand pounds. In 1821, and sub sequently, he executed a will and codicils, appointing his brother, Mr. J. Duke, and another person, his executors. The next of kin now sought to set aside these instruments, on the ground that from the year 1820 the testatorh4d been in such a state of debility, owing to his mental and bodily infirmities, that he was wholly incapable of giving instructions for a will, or of reading it or hearing it read, and was liable to circum vention. Besides being nearly blind, and so deaf that the utmost exertion of voice could not make him hear, it was alleged that he wai'of ireak ind unsound mind. Amongst the extravagancies ascribed to the deceased, he was represented to have driven himself about the country in a chaise, notwithstanding his bodily weak ness, accompanied by a furious mastiff, in the habit of wbrrying sheep, which would have Prevented assis tance being rendered him; also with hainessing a WI-. lock to his chaise and driving it,,to the terror 9f the neighbouringpeople; drenching his mach cows with salt water; ordering his corn to be harvested in a green state; distributing barley sugar, gingerbread nuts, and bitits eyes (which Dr. Jenner,.at the request of the 'Court, explained to . be a species of sweermeat, moulded into It form resembling _the.
