COURT OF . CHANCERY, Mc. 21. 8111414012...-.11.11VC212 n 1111122202121. The Loan Csancau.on this morning pronounced judgment in this appeal, which has been argued for four• days at considerable length. His Lordship observed that it was a case of considerable importance. not only nit regarded the magnitude of the property in dispute, but as it affeeted'the eharacterof some of the parties con cerned in it. It related to a negociation for the taking a lease of the Verteg Iron Works in Wales, which Id . Knight and Co. held of Messrs. Hill. and Co. but the working of which they had discontinued five years previous to the time of this transaction, and being desirous of giving up the lease, had offered Messrs. Hill and Co.:the sum of .226,000 to release them from their engage. ments with regard to it. This offer being unsuccessful, Mr. White. house, the defendant undertook to find some one who would take the lease off their ha nds; for that purpose applied toMesars. Fawcett and Shandoviso were willing to enter louse partnership with him, for the purpose of working the mines. Mews. Knight and Co. were willing to give a large sum of money, besides the benefit of retaining freehold lands adjoining the works, and which they had purchased, wan responsible party who would relieve them from the berthen of their engagements ; and Mr. Whitehouse, who acted as agent. to Messrs. Fawcett and Co. in the negociation, entered into an agreement with Messrs. Knight and Co. which he concealed from Fawcett and Shand, by which he was to have a private advance of 12,0001., without interest, from the former, to be re paid only in case the stipulations with regard to the taking the lease off their bands were not fulfilled ; but this conditional gift was afterwards converted into an absolute one, as soon as the respon sibility of the parties who were to take the lease was aster. tamed. This was the matter complained of in the Plaintiff's MU. His Lordship was clearly of opinion that Whitehouse was acting in this transaction as the agent of his future part ners, and if in that character he stipulated for any private advan tage for himself, it was impossible that this Court should sanction it. It had been said that this was a loan to enable Whitehouse to bring forward his capital into the concern ; but whether it was a loan, or whether it was an absolute gift, it was a private benefit to the agent, and could not be allowed. The decision of the Vice- Chancellor was correct, and Mr. Whitehouse must be considered as holding the £12,000 as trustee for Fawcett and Co. The Vice- Chancellor's dean must therefore be affirmed, and, considering the clearness of the case, affirmed with coats. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. CUM. CON.IIITIMETT. Ie• V. QUINSY. nub Mr. Kum , opened the pleadings. Joseph Salisbury Musket, Esq. was the plaintiff, and Richard Hanbury Gurney, R e q. th e d e . fendant.:The action was for criminal conversation by the defend. ant with the wife of the plaintiff. The defendant pleaded that be was not gully. The Ammer-Gunner said he had to address the Jury to-day' on behalf of the plaintiff, Mr. Markin, who complained of an in jury, on the nature of which it was not necessary for Mm (the Learned Counsel) to make any observations. He would content himself with stating the circumstances of the parties, and the history of the case, and then leave it to them to give the plaintiff such com pensation in damages as they should think commensurate with the injury he bad sustained. Mr. Musket' was the son of a gentleman possessing a considerable landed estate in the county of Norfolk.— A short time prior to his marriage with the lady of whose sedue- Uon he complained, his father had settled on him a considerable estate at Intwood, in the county of Norfolk. Mrs. Marken, before her marriage, was a Miss Jarey, the only daughter of a most respect able gentleman in the same neighbourhood, about eight miles from Mr. M.'s residence. At the time of the marriage, which took place in inn, the lady waste or 19 yeah of age: Mr. Muskett was about gy. The lady's father gave her a fortune of 5,0001. and Mr. M.'s estate was settled on the issue of the marriage. For four years after the marriage the parties lived on terms of the greatest affec don and harmony. They had a daughter, which was the only child. 1 The defendant, Mr. Gurney, was well known by name. He was a banker at Norwich, and had the honour of representing that city in Parliament. He was the owner of a considerable landed estate in the county, and bad a mansion at Keswick, where be resided with his mother and sister. The plantation attached to his estate adjoined the plaintiff's grounds, and, la fact, the parties were neigh. beers. They had not, however, prior to the plaintiff's marriage, been on terms of great intimacy, although they had a slight ac. , quaintance ; but after their marriage their intimacy increased la consequence of the plaintiff espousing the same political cause with the defendant. They were both friends of Mr. Coke, the Member for the county, and acted in his interest. Mr. Gurney being a gentleman of very great fortune, Mr. Muskett, whose means were not so ample, thought that be was not in a situation to be the con stant associate of such a man ; but still their intimacy was continued for some time on the same terms as it bad before misted. About four years after Mr. and Mrs. Muskett's marriage, Mr. Musket% went to pay a visit to a relation who resided in the neighbourhood of a villa which Mr. Gurney possessed ; and he knowing that they were there, prevailed on them to pay him a visit also. This was in the year 1817. After Mrs. M.'s return from that visit, Mr. M. thought that he observed some little alteration in her manner, but .he took no notice of it, and s it passed over. In October, 1817, however, an event occurred which the Learned Counsel would now describe. Mr. Muskett was in the habit of visiting his father every .S6oday, at his residence about seven miles from Intwood ; and it happened on one occasion that his father invited Wm to join him la the pleasure of causing. A day was accord ingly fixed, but something occurred to induce Mr. Maslen to de cline going over to his father. This seemed to occasion some con cern to Mrs. Musket; whe went up stairs. A gentleman of the mane of .Nash, who had been• in the habit of bringing present. of Sower*. and arranging them for lire. Musket' in the greenhouse s happened to call in the course of the morning. and be was invited to dine. Mis. Maslen, however, remained up stain, and on being sent for to come to dinner, set came down stain in a state of great agitation, and returned up again almost immediately. Mr. Muskett followed her, and then discovered that she bad barn engaged in writing notes. Her father was informed of what had transpired, and it was thought expedient that she should go to his house and remain under his protection until a further investigation should hive-taken place. Inquiries were subsequently made, and the result was, that Mr. Muskat thought it necessary to bring an action against Mr. Gurney for criminal conversation. That action was tried at 'Thetford in,the year tem when a verdict was found for the defendant. • The Learned Cottagel would not ask the Jury now to say that a criminal intercourse bad at that time taken place, , assented the fact; but i t was because the Jury, by their verdict necessary that he should state to them, tha t th e circumstances which ba d occurred were sus% as to induce all parties colitis* that it Would not be proper foe the lady to return to her butitaltdl rooL and she therefore remained under the protection Mho:fa ther, • In a short time the suspicious which Mr. Musket' bast en. tertabsed of a criminal intercourse having taken elate at the time he brought the action in 111$ beanie . confirmed.

The Jury retired for half an hour, and returned with a verdict for the plaintiff, Damages 411000. .1 COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Dec. itt. CRAM. 11:0111.- , -107DILL V. CROCEZI. This was an action to recover compensation in damages for cri minal conversation. Mr. Sergeant Wens stated that the plaintiff was an attorney residing at Ikhester. and the defendant was also in the legal pro fession, living in Gray's inn-square. He would not occupy the attention of the Jury by many general remarks, but would tome nt .i once to the facts of the case, from which they would be convinced ' that the plaintiff's conduct was without blame, and the defendant'i without excuse. The plaintiff was about 28 years of age, his wife about three years younger. They were married in the year 1125. About one year after that time Mr. Boyden succeeded a gentleman in business at Ikhester, in the immediate vicinity of which place the Defendant's family resided. Shortly after the Plaintiff commenced business, the Defendant, who was a young man (only 23 years of age) was articled to the Plaintiff. The greatest friendship subsisted between the families, and it was not until the summer of thk year that Mr. BoydeU had the least idea that the Defendant had Mad any improper acquaintance with his wife. Up to that time they bad lived in the greatest harmony and happiness together. The Defendant at the time alluded to had left him, and came to Lear don. The Learned Sergeant here detiiled several facts, tending to prove the criminal connection between the Defendant and Mrs. Boyde.U. The Jury returned a verdict of 2001. damages. WINTER ASSIZES.

On his return from clunk be walked along the town. When near the Bridge Hotel be sew the prisoner ' who advanced towards him. P rosecutor turne d round, with the intention of walking the other way. Prosecutor observed the prisoner following. He had his band in his breast. On coming up to prosecutor prisoner said, " Mr. Rosenburg, have something here for you," and immediately drew a pistol from his breast, and presented it at prosecutor. He raised his sword, which be had under his arm, in self-defence, and made a blow at the prisoner, who instantly fired off the pistol. The ball glanced against the breast of prosecutor's coat, and then went through his cocked hat. (Hat produced.) Prisoner was formerly a seaman on board prosecutor's ship, and was discharged on account of mis conduct. On being cross-examined by the prisoner, prosecutor said tie prisoner had not the pistol in his b an d w h en he first saw him.— iutor did not make use of prisoner's name In conversation.— Commander Hood said, " That is O'Hare, is it not? what can bring him here?"
