I L't LAW INTELLIGENCE. Nsf" ;(I) 4 V •.* C ?$, w 4 51 I u va3 lacT r‘ c 2 COURT OF CHANCERY, Aus. 11. IN TILE MATTER OF DAVISON, A LUNATIC. Mr. ROUPEL appeared on the petition of William Spy, of the city of Aberdeen, praying the Court to con firm the Master's report, directing the lunatic (a trustee and mortgagee) to make reconveyance of a toortipg e , tate, under the Act of Parliament passed for drat pose. The petition also prayed that the costs of the pro ceedings might be ordered to be paid out of the lunatic's s-rate. The security was a Scotch security, and the Learned Counsel conceived that the same principle would have to be applied to such a case, as if it had been an English security. The LORD CHANCELLOR Saw no objection to the or dering of the reconveyance, but he could not see why the lunatic's estate should have to bear the expense. Mr. ROUPEL considered that according to a similar rase, decided by L6rd Eldon, it was the course of the Court so to deal with the subject of costs. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, if the lunafic had the beneficial estate in him, then it would be reasonable that he should pay the costs ; but here was an individual,who was simply a trustee, who had unfortunately become a lunatic, and it was the desire of those beneficially inte rested that the trusteeship should be transferred; under such circumstances additional expense was to be incurred, hut it could not be consistent with good principle that that expense should come out of thee-lunatic's estate, he having no interest in the property. Tha Court, there fore, refused to order the costs to be paid. IN THE MATTER OF KING, A .LUNATIC. The petition Mated that the petitioner, the committee of the person, had for many years past been in the habit of supplying money, without the order of the Court, for the maintenance of the lunatic, and prayed that the Court would refer it to the Master to inquire whether such sums had been properly applied to the maintenance of the lunatic ? if so, that they might be allowed to him in passing his accounts, and that the Master might be directed to specify a definitive sum to be paid to the Committee quarterly, for the future maintenance. In the Master's Office, the parties now opposing the petition objected to every little item contained in the Committee's accounts unless verified, not only by the affidavit of the Committee, but by other vouchers. Mr. PEPYS denied this. The committee of the estate had never passed his accounts, and it was impossible for the Master to name any particular sum that ought to be allowed for maintenance until he had. There was already an order requiring the parties to pass their accounts, and there could be no reason why there should be any irre gularity in this case. The ►SOLICITOR GENERAL said, the committee of the person had, from the treatment he had experienced, come to a determination not to advance any more money out of his own pocket, so that some such order as was now prayed would either have to be made, or a new com- mittee appointed. The LORD CHANCELLOR directed the Master to in quire whether the sums the committee had expended had been properly expended for the lunatic, and to state re trospectively what should be the amount of the provi sional interim allowance for maintenance. IN THE MATTER OF THE HON. MR. JERVIS, A SUPPOSED LUNATIC. The SOLICITOR GENERAL believed that if the Court should be of opinion his client (the supposed lunatic's mother) should be at liberty to attend the execution of the commission, there would be no further difficulty. Mr. HORNE (for Lord St. Vincent, the father) had communicated with his client, and found that nothing could be so painful to his Lordship as to have it supposed he was not anxious that every possible protection the Court might think proper to order should be thrown around his son. Under such a feeling he only sued for the commission, without opposing any thing the Court might deem expedient to order. The LORD CHANCELLOR granted permission to the Solicitor General's client to attend the execution of the commission, hoping that every possible attention would be paid to the avoiding of every shilling of expense that was not absolutely necessary to be incurred. V(CF.-CHANCELLOR•B COURT, &Faun 11. BUSINESS OF TIIE COURT. At the sitting of the Court the SOLICITOR GENERAL said there were a great number of Solicitors in atten dance, and he had been requested by them to ask his Honour if there could not be some arrangements made when motions could be heard. A great number of these motions were for injunctions to stay trials, and the As sizes being now on, it became exceedingly important they should be heard. In fact, the expense already caused to several of his clients by the delay bad been very great, as they had been obliged to go down to the Judge of 'Assize to try if possible to induce him to post pone the trial, on the ground of not being able to be heard in the Courtof Chancery in time to obtain an Order. The VICE-CHANCELLOR—I am aware of the expense and inconvenience, but what is to be done ? If we once begin motions there will be no other business done be fore the Court rises, and there are many petitions and causes of a very pressing nature. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said he was at a loss what plan to adopt, but it was of the last importance that in junctions should be heard. The VICE-CHANCELLOR—Let me be furnished with a list of all the motions for injunctions, and I will appoint a day before the Court rises for hearing them. SANDYS V. SANDYS. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, a few days since, obtained an order directing the Governor and Company of the Bank of England to transfer the sum of 4001. Four per Cent. Stock into the name of the petitioner, Mr. Sandy.. . The short facts of the case are as follow : Mr. . Sandy. married a lady of the name of Long, who, at the time of her itarriage, had 4001. stock, which had been be-' quedthed to her by her father, and after her death to hor children. Mr. Sandy. obtained the consent of his wire, that this fund should be transferred into his name ; and, upon application to this Court, they granted an order to flint effect. When this order was served in the usual way; the Bank refused to comply with the order, and de nied the jurisdiction of the Court to make such an order. The Solicitor-General, on a subsequent day, gave notice of a modal to commit the Governor and Company of the Bank of England to the Fleet Prison for contempt.' Mr. Hot then said be was instructed to appear 'for tl:e Bank, and state the grounds of their refusing to comply with the order of the Court. It was not con tempt for its authority, but in this case it was clear his Honour had no jurisdiction. The stock was standing in the name of the Lady a*d her children. The children were infants, and therefore could not , consent to the winder ; and the Court were bound to protect their in• tellies; In fret; it was clearly en order wade contrary to the Aeta at Parliament. • • , • • TbeVice-Cn A 21C E L Lon said before he iaede the ordei committal be model carefully look into the Act, This morning hie4loiour Inflamed the Solicitor-Gesteral he was of opinion that be had exceeded"thi jurisdiction in making the first order. Under the circumstances of this case, after attentively perusing the Act, he was con- winced he had no authority to order the transfer. Of comae that order must be discharged, and it was almost needless. to say the order for committal could not be made ; The Court was a ft erwards engaged in bearing petitions i* ASSIZE IeirALLIGENCE. • HOUR CIRCUIT.-* IDSTONE. Amor 10. Before Mr. Jestlee GAULS,. Thomas Burroughs was indicted for breaking and en tering the dwelling-house of G. P. Pirkia, watchmaker, at Stroud, near Rochester, and stealing a watch. The prisoner was passing along the street, and thrusting his arm through a pane of glass in Mr. Pirkis's shop win dow, seized a watch, and pocketed it. He was instantly taken into custody, and the watch found on his person. He cross-examined all the witnesses secund,em artem, and made a vehement appeal to the Jury ; but neither his eloquence nor his ingenuity availed him, for the Jury in stantly found him Guilty, and sentence of Death was recorded against him. David Gilbert was indicted for having killed and stolen a sheep, the property of John Baker Sladen, at Old Romney. Mr. Sladen's shepherd missed one sheep out of a flock of twenty belonging to his master, on Rom ney Marsh, and found the skin, entrails, and head of a sheep near the pound. There were also footsteps about the spot which led to the prisoner's house. A search warrant having been procured, a quantity of mutton was found in the house, which exactly corresponded with the head and skin. The offence was committed in Feb ruary, 1828, but the prisoner was only taken into cus tody in the spring of the present year.—Guilty—Death recorded. A youth named Thomas Milsted was indicted for stealing two bottles of wine, the property of George Skinner, at Biddenden, under the following shocking circumstances. The prisoner's father was a man of the most abandoned character, and had encouraged his son to commit crime. In the present case a hole had been made in the wall of the cellar of the prosecutor's house (an inn), and wine was continually missed from thence. The land lord, therefore, determined to watch, and saw an arm put through the hole, and two bottles of wine were withdrawn. He instantly ran out of the cellar, and detected the pri soner in the act of going off with the two bottles of wine, but he could not say whether it was his or his father's arm which was put through the hole, for the father was drinking in the house about the time, and on hearing that his son was taken instantly decamped. The young man received a good character, and on the prosecutor offering to take him into his service, the Learned Judge fined him one shilling, and ordered him to be discharged. In the Nisi Prins Court no case of interest occurred. MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—NOTTINGHAM, Aus. 11. Cam &oa.—Before Lord TIOITILDIN sad a Town Jury. Edward and Sarah Revill, an aged couple, Peter Greasley, and Ann Sportox (children of Sarah Revill by a former husband), were charged with having resisted and shot William Middip, a Sheriff's officer, whilst he was endeavouring to execute a writ of possession, by ejecting the prisoners from a house in Park-street, in this town. Mr. CLARKE, for the prosecution, stated the case.— The prisoners claimed a house in Park-street, the pro perty of a Mr. Nelson, who had brought en action of ejectment against them, and having obtained a verdict, proceeded to enforce it. A writ of possession was put into the proper officer's hands, who, in executing it, was obstructed and violently opposed by the two male pri soners, backed by the women, when ultimately one of his assistants, William Middap, was shot with a pistol; for tunately it was pointed low, or the contents would have entered his head ; as it was, a very severe wound was in flicted on the neck and breast. Joseph Skidmore is agent to Mr. Nelson, the owner of the house in Park. street. As agent, he brought the ac tion of ejectment against the prisoners for recovering from them possession ; in this he succeeded, and taking a writ of possession out, went with the proper ollicer to execute it ; this was on the 2d of July last, at half-past 10 o'clock in the morning. When they got there the door was fast, and on demanding entry, the prisoner Re vill was observed sharpening a large knife, with which, on their telling him their business, he said he would skewer them. Greasley was then seen at an upper win dow, and being told by witness to give up peaceable pos session, said he would defend his possession with his life, and if they attempted to enter they must take the con sequences. Revill below, at the window of the kitchen, said he would shoot the first man that entered the house. Witness and the officer then went to get more aid, and returned at two with a body of constables; on his re turn Greasley said out of the window, " Skidmore, 1 warn you not to enter—if you do you must, take the con sequences." The woman also appeared at the window, and backed him. By this time a mob of one or two hun dred persons had collected, and the resistance and threats being continued, witness' desired the officeks to force an entry ; he retired a few paces, and presently saw Mid dap, who had been forcing a crowbar through the crevice of the door and post, Stagger into a by-stander's arms,. and led away by him bleeding. Gibson, sergeant at mace to the Town Sheriffs' Court, and other witnesses, were called, who stated nearly the same facts as the one preceding. On being called on for their defence, Revill handed a paper in, which he desired might be read. His Coun sel (Mr. HILL) making an objection, the Clerk of the Arraigns read it. The prisoner there stated that the house in question was never Mr. Nelson's property, but had de scended to his wife From her Mier, who had . willed it illegally away from her to an illegitimate child. Other irrelevant matter was also contained in the paper, not eisentiel to'tlie defence. The other prisoners all ~d eclared their conviction (not withstanding the proceedings in law) that the house be longed to than, and complained loudly of the injustice of ► g them out. . . "After a short constilfation, the Jury found a verdict of Guilty of shooting, with intent to maim, against the two 'Men, and of abetting against the women. ' The J'uni; V. then put on the'blich cap. at which sight 'the women shrieked aloud, ttnd ihe'prisoner Greasley fell llt the dock in a fit, whilst Revill remained apparently unmoved.

I POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE In the course of some conversatio► between Alderman &noire, Mr. Nobler, and a person connected with one of the steam-ousels, which go up the More with parties of pkasure, it was stated, that gangs of thieves, who dressed like pedestals, were in the habit of becoming passengers, for the purpose of committing robberies. On Monday last, several of those speculaton gut into oar of those vessels. and commenced pretended quarrels in order to raise con. fusion, by which they might be enabled to carry on their depre dations more successfolly. One of the hiarskaimen said, that this practice had existed a long time, and in consequence of the crowded state of those vessels it 'sad become very difikuit to Ax upon the party that plundered. A dispute was got up amongst four or Ave perseos who appeared to be strangers, and those who Interfered to prevent mischief, generally came of second best. pocket{ were turned inside out, and often cut with the greatest skill. Alderman Scooter said, that the evil was a dreadful one, and must be immediately prevented. It was stated that the proprietors of t►e vessels were most anxious for the protection of the Public, who were subject to this mode of plunder, and that it would be necessary to have con stables to attend upon every occasion on which the steamers were crowded. ' A steward of one of the steamers was robbed of seven one reigns no Itlooday last. Alderman Sumter stated, that the steam-vessels which took in and landed passengers in the City, should of course be properly attended to, for the protection of the Public. and no doubt at the Thames Police Mee, adequate measures would be adopted to abate the existing evil. GUILDHALL. Thomas Farley was I;•ugitbefore Mr. Alderman Assures, yesterday, charged with acting as an attorney, without being qualified to do so. George Warren, of Portland-place, Borough-road, deposed that he was a prisoner in the Fleet, and that on the Bth of January,, IBM the prisoner came to him, and said he was an attorney of all his Majesty's Courts, and produced a lawyer-like bundle of papers, and some cards with his name. and the words " Defeo daat's Mummy," or " Plalutiff'b Attorney." added. Under this representation witness paid him two sovereigns, for the purpose of justifying bail, to procure his discharge. He went away, and witness saw no more of him for 16 months. Prisoner did not aisiser obtain his discharge. and witness remained a month it the Fleet than be *Meld have done, if the prisoner bad what he undertook. Witness had searched the Rolls. and the prissier was net an attorney. Flintier adinkted he was not an attorney, but be acted as an gene Sarlentiand should have kept his engagement if it had been a sevitgliegernpi transaction ; but the complainant wished to make ass InsernineW to dupe the Judge. Complainant had found pereUne to personate responsible people, and become bail, and a man who was to swear be bad served notice of bail on the plaintiff, whisks fact be had not date so. Prisoner would not lend himself to such a transaction. The complainant declared this was all false, and the Alderman ordered the prisoner to find bail for his appearance at the Sessions. BOW-STRBET. Henry Hall, a smooth-spoken yoetb, who described himself as a varnish-manufacturer. changed two very dashing females with robbing him of 158. in a brothel, somewhere in the vicinity o( the English Opera House. The complainant stated that be just left the Theatre to breathe a little fresh air, when he was accosted by Sarah leyssids, whom he was ultimately induced to accompany to a house in a court where I she said him she had lodgings. She rapped at the doer which was opened, and directly he had entered it was where, again.
