A -. ".--- MVLLIYS V. TOWNSEND. This was an appeal from a decision of the Court of Exchequer in Ireland, under the following circum stances : Maurice Fitzgerald, Knight of Kerry, who died in 1779, without having any issue, devised his real estates to trustees, for the use of his wife for her life, remainder re Richard Boyle Townsend for life, remainder to his first and other sons intail male, remainder to R. B. Townsend in fee. with power to settle a jointure on any wife he should marry, and to charge the estate with pro vision= for the younger children : the testator left his per ronal property to his wife, and appointed her sole execu trix. Richard Boyle Townsend married in 1784, having charged the estates in question with a jointure for his mifr, and provision for his younger children. The eldest son of the marriage was born in 1785, and died in 1805, ithout leaving issue. The respondent, who was the second son, was born in 1786. In 1779 the late Lord Ventry filed a bill in Chancery, setting forth judgments for debts against the estates of the testator, and praying account and payment of said debts. In 1783 a decree was pronounced for the payment of all the debts claimed within six months, or in default thereof, that a competent part of the estates should be sold for that purpose. In accordance with this decree the lands were sold in 1786 for 5,0501. and the sale was confirmed by an order of Court. It appeared that the lands were purchased by a friend of Lord Ventry's, who conveyed them to his Lordship after the peachiest, had been completed. The testator's widow died in 1809. In 1808, the respondent filed a bill in equity, stating that the proceedings on be half of Lord Ventry, with respect to the sale of the es tates, were grounded on fraud and collusion,—that the estates had been sold for half their value,—that the trus tees of the testator's will had not been made a party to the suits in equity respecting the sale of those estates,— and that the testator had left personal property sufficient to discharge his debts, and praying that the sale of the es tates should be declared to be void as against the respon dent, the heir male of the testator. Lord Ventry put in an answer, and no further proceedings were taken in the cause until 1823, when the respondent obtained an order to amend the original bill. Lord Ventry died in 1824, without having answered the bill, and the respondent ex- hibited a bill of reviver against the appellant, Lord Ven try's representative. After several hearings the Court decreed, in 1827, that the decrees of 1782 and 1783, respecting the sale of the estates, were erroneous, inas much as all the parties were not before the court, and as proper accounts were not directed—that the sale of the estates was improperly conducted, and should be set aside as against the respondent—and that the respondent was entitled to the rents and profits of these lands from the period of the death of his father in 1826, on payment of 5,0501. the original purchase money. From this decree, an appeal was made to the House of Lords, where the case came on to be argued this day, when Mr. PEPYS, on behalf of the appellant, contended, that as the respondent had not been born until after the decrees respecting the sale of the estate were pro- nounced, he was bound thereby, as the person in whom the first estate of inheritance was vested had been be fore the court ; that it was contrary to the practice of the Court of Chancery to declare that decrees ought to be deemed erroneous, because all proper parties were not before the court, upon the application of persons who were parties to the suits in which such decrees were made, or whose interests were properly represented therein. That there was no evidence of fraud or collu sion on the part of Lord Ventry which could form any just grounds for invalidating the sale. That the re spondent had acquiesced in the propriety of that sale, having adopted no proceedings to set it aside from the year 1808, when he originally filed his bill, until 1823. Under all the circumstances of the case, the learned counsel submitted that the decree of the C ourt of Chan cery in Ireland should be reversed. The further consideration of the case was then ad journed until Monday (this day), when Mr. O'Connell will be heard on the same side. MAY having been intimated by some of the parties in this case, on Friday, that Mr. O'Connell would take a part in the proceedings this day, an unusual num ber of the gentlemen of the bar attended in the house, in expectation of hearing him, but that learned counsel did nut appear. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL (with whom was Mr. Knight), on behalf of the respondent, .contended that the decree of the Court below should be sustained. The decree of 1793 was erroneous, inasmuch as the trustees of the testator, and those of an outstanding term of years, were not present, and the sale consequent on that decree, could not be maintained against the respon dent, because his elder brother, who was entitled to the first estate of inheritance, and who was born pre viously to that decree, was not made a party to the proceedings by a supplemental bill. There were strong grounds to infer fraud and collusion in the transac tion, from the fact of no previous inquiry having been instituted respecting what portion of the estate it was necessary to sell for the discharge of the incumbrances, and from the excess of the purchase-money above the debts having been paid to Lady Anne Fitzgerald, the testator's widow, tenant for life of the estates, whereby an inducement was held out to her to concur in the sale of more lands than were necessary for the purposes of the decree. The learned counsel further objected that in terest had been charged on the bill of costs from the time that the decree had been pronounced, and also on the judgment debts from the death of the testator down to the period of the sale, all of which the testator's widow, who had been in the receipt of the profits of the land, should have paid, instead of it being charged on the estate at the expense of the heir. Lord Ventry was not only vender and purchaser, but, what was conclusive of fraud on his part, he entered into a private agreement with Richard Boyle Townsend, the tenant for life, to pay 6001. as an inducement to abandon an application which had been made to set the sole aside, whereby he was enabled to carry his fraudulent purpose into execution in the absence of the proper parties. The learned counsel, in conclusion, submitted that the decree of the Court below should be maintained, as the decrees of 1782 and 1783 were ob tamed by a fraud on the Court. Mr. PaPYB replied; and the LORD CHANCELLOR said that he should consider the case before he should give judgment. • DUEL PREVEKTED.-At Bow-street office, yester day, Douglass Cooper, Esq. a Captain in the 90th Regiment, upon the information of a Mr. Christie, was brought up in the custody of Ledbetter, the officer, charged with sending a challenge to Burt, Esq. to fight a duel. The cause of the quarrel did not transpire. • The Captain was ordered to find bail, and Ledbetter was directed to bring Mr. Burt forward for the same purpose as soon as possible. LAW INTELLIGENCE. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, MAT 17. His HON OUR heard motions only during the day, made chiefly by Counsel behind the bar, relative to points of practice. WELLESLEY V. TILE DUKE OW BEAUFORT. Mr. ROLFE said this was an application for a reference to the Master relative to a reduction of rents upon these estates, and there was no objection to the order. His HONOUR granted the motion. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, MAY 17. Sittings in Banco. EX-PA RTE WHA RTON. The time of the Court was occupied during the whole of the morning in hearing an application to set aside an annuity of 5,0001. granted by Mr. Wharton, for his life, in consideration of 49,0001. on the ground of irregularity in the transaction.—Judgment deferred. linings at Nisi Prius, before Lord TENTERDEN and Common Juries.) COACH ACCIDENT. COOPER V. PAGG AND OTIIERS This was an action brought by the plaintiff, an inn keeper at Inglefield, in Surrey, against the defendants,l the proprietors of the Davonport mail, to recover com pensation in damages for an injury sustained by the plain-1 tiff, in consequence of his gig having been upset by the defendant's coach, on the 25th of June, 1828. The plaintiff, on the way to London, stopped at the Bedfont toll-gate to pay his toll, but, perceiving the mail coming up at a rapid rate, he said he would move aside and pay when it should have passed. He accordingly moved to the right, but the mail wheel in passing caught the wheel of the gig, and lifted it up, so that the plaintiff was thrown out, and, pitching on his shoulder, had it dislocated ; and Mr. Denman, the plaintiff's Counsel, said, that if the plaintiff's horse had not been a very steady one the con sequences would have been fatal. As it was, he had been exposed to severe suffering by the accident; had been confined to his bed for a fortnight, and had his arm in a sling for three months, and was obliged to expend a con siderable sum for medical attendance. The keeper of the toll-gate, Mr. Furnival (a surgeon at Egham,) and a daughter of the plaintiff, were called to prove his case. The daughter stated that her father had gone to Brighton for the benefit of his health, where he used the shampoo-bath, and paid 9s. each time. The ATTORREY-GENLRAL, for the defendants, ob served, that the question here was, not whether there had been an accident, for that was admitted ; but whether that accident happened through any misconduct of the servants of the defendants. The action was brought a very long time after the accident, and the reason was, that the plaintiff was conscious that he had no good ground for complaint against the defendants, and had only been induced to proceed at last by the advice of some solicitor. The real fact was, that the accident was oc casioned entirely by the backing of the plaintiff's horse, without the least fault of the defendants' servants ; and he would prove that the plaintiff acknowledged that the accident wits occasioned through his own fault. Witnesses were called, who proved the case as stated for the defendants. Verdict for the defendants. NEWTON V. HORNET'. This was an action brought by the plaintiff to reco ver a sum of 211. due to him for his expenses in attend ing as a witness before the Committee on the East Ret ford Election, 1827. The defendant was the local agent of Sir Henry Wright Wilson, one of the candidates at the East Retford election in 1826, and it appeared that the plaintiff had intended to give in his charge to Sir H. Wright Wilson, but was dissuaded from it by the de fendant, who stated that it had been, or would be, given in in his general account with Sir H. W. Wilson, and that when he received tha money he would be answerable to the plaintiff. The plaintiff refrained accordingly, but defendant refused to pay. Verdict for the plaintiff for Twenty-one Pounds. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, MAT 17. LIBEL.CLARKSON V. LAWSON AND OTHERS. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, Mr. Clark son, a Proctor of Doctors' Commons, against the defen dants, the proprietors of the Times newspaper, to recover from them a compensation in damages for the injury he had sustained in consequence of the publication of a li bellous article in the Times newspaper, calculated to in jure him in his business of a Proctor. The libel in question stated, that the plaintiff had been three times suspended by Sir John Nichol, the judge of the court, in which the plaintiff practised as a proctor, for extortion. The defendants had pleaded, as a justification, that the plaintiff had been suspended once, but omitted to say that was for extortion, or what was the cause of his sus pension. Mr. Sergeant CROSS (the plaintiff having demurred to the defendants' plea,) now appeared on the part of the plaintiff, to argue the demurrer, and he contended that the plea was bad. It was no justification of the libel for the defendants, who had charged the plaintiff with hav ing been suspended thrice for extorting money, to plead that he had been once suspended, for no offence at all ; and, therefore, the plea must be struck out as insuffi cient. The Court called upon the counsel on the part of the defendants to reply to the argument of Mr. Sergeant Cross ; and, on being informed that Mr. Sergeant Wilde was engaged for the defendants, but was unavoid ably absent till Wednesday next, the case was postponed till that day. A certain Prince beheld in a dream three rats—the one fat, the other lean, and the third blind. He sent for a celebrated Legal Authority to ask the explanation of this singular dream. " The fat rat," said he, is your Prime Minister, the lean rat is your people, and the blind rat, my Prince, is yourself." " Where will a note find you, my dear ?" whispered the pennyleas Captain K— to Madame V--, with whom he ardently desired a tote-d-tite. " A fifty pound note do you mean ! " replied the syren sarcastically ; " but if I tell you, dear captain, pray where will you find a note? " Thia was " a receipt in full " for the poor captain; a sort of thing he is not often (say his tailors) in the habit of suiting himself with. A man named Solomon Solomon, who described him 'self as a general dealer, late of Birmingham, was opposed yesterday, in the Insolvent Debtors' Court, by several creditors residing in Birmingham. It appeared that be tween July and December last the insolvent obtained from various creditors about 1301. worth of property ; a portion of it he said he sold to a person named Twisden for 921. 4s. 6d. and took his note for payment. The remainder he said he sold to several other persons. Twisden's note he gave up to the Court, but when Twis den attended by direction of the Court, he declared that I he had not accepted it for the insolvent, but for the ac commodation of another person named Solomon Solo 'mons, and received a " bottle of wine and a steak" for his trouble. The insolvent was unable to give any fur ther account of the disposition of his 'property,—.Th C ourt t h en sentenced him to 15 months' imprisonment. MELANCHOLY CASE OF HYDROPHOBIA. Last night an Inquest was held at St. Thomas's Hos pital, in the Borough, on .the body of William Charles, a youth between 16 and 17 years of age, whose death was caused by the bite of a dog, which was in a rabid state. The Jury viewed the body of the deceased, which was lying in the dead-house. The features were very much distorted, and there was an expression of horror in the countenance that was shocking to behold. Thomas Keeves, of Salisbury-place, Lock's-fields, Southwark, a coal-dealer, was the first witness. He stated that the deceased was in his employ, as a porter, in December last. On the day after Christmas Day, which he remembered because it was " Boxing Day," the deceased had been out with coals, and had re ceived some presents from the customers. Some of them had given him liquor, and he appeared in a state of intoxication. When he came home he brought a little terrier-dog with him, which he said he had picked up in the street. He shut up the dog in a shed, in the back yard, and in a short time afterwards the dog growled and barked very loud, and endeavoured to get out by gnawing the pannel of the door, in which there was a hole. Witness told the deceased that he could not be annoyed by the dog, and the deceased replied that he would soon quit him. The deceased went to the shed, and in a few minutes he came into the house with one of his hands bleeding, and he stated that the dog had bitten him; witness poured some warm water into a basin, and the deceased washed his hand, after which there appeared to be very little injury done to his hand ; witness drove the dog with a broom handle into the street; the dog bit at the broom handle, but witness had no idea the dog was mad. The deceased had de livered some coals at the house of a customer on another occasion, and when he came home he complained that a dog had bitten him on the leg ; both dogs were now alive. The Jury instructed the witness to see that both dogs were killed. Mrs. Owen, a married woman, said that the deceased came into her husband's employ in February last, about a week after be left Mr. Reeves ; on Wednesday last he had been to the river side to deliver some coals, and was affected by the sight of the water : when he re turned home he complained of his head, and also of a dreadful pain in one of his arms ; he had been very un well for a month, and was during that period constantly inclined to drowsiness ; in the course of Wednesday evening he grew worse, and at last became so outrageous that he was obliged to be restrained, and on the follow ing day he was quite mad, and was sent to the hospital ; on the Wednesday night, in a fit of delirium, he took up a poker and tried to kill his sister. Mr. Leete, a pupil at St. Thomas's Hospital under Dr. Rootes, a physician of that establishment, said that the deceased was placed under his care on Thursday, about one o'clock in the afternoon. At that time he refused any kind of liquid that was offered him, and at the sight of it was much excited, and suffered severely from spurns. Upon the least disturbance the paroxysm were dreadful. When the paroxysms were over he became calm and rational, and conversed in a very sensible manner. He was asked if he had been bitten by a dog, and he replied that he had no recollection of such a circumstance. Dr. Rootes examined the deceased, and prescribed for him. He observed that it was a decided case of hydrophobia. Means were resorted to that were recommended by Dr. Rootes.—Juror: What means were ... they ? Witness—They administered a South American re medy against the bite of serpents and other poisonous animals, called Mikinia Guaco, which acted as a nar cotic, and appeared to relieve the deceased for a con siderable period. Part was injected into the bowels, and part was poured down the deceased's throat ; a short time before he died, he begged that he might be strapped down to the bed, as he was afraid he should do them mis chief; witness went out of the room to fetch a strait waistcoat, and during his absence the deceased leaped out of bed, and squirted the contents of a syringe, which was lying on the table, into the face of Mr. Benn, a gentle man who assisted witness; and the deceased also threw the saliva from his mouth into Mr. B.'s face. Mr. Benn ran out of the room, and the deceased locked the door and leaped about the room and threw everything about. Witness got in at the window, and a strait waistcoat hav ing been put on the deceased, he survived for about two hours afterwards. Mr. Benn confirmed the evidence of the last witness, and spoke of the appearance of the brain and other parts lof the body of the deceased, on a post mortem examina tion. He was of the same opinion as last witness—that the deceased died from the bite of a mad dog. The Jury having obtained a pledge from the first wit ness that the dogs, which are still alive and apparently well, should be destroyed, they returned a verdict that the deceased died from the bite of a dog which was in a rabid state. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT PAUL'S CRAY. Sunday morning, about one o'clock, the most inde scribable alarm and confusion prevailed in the minds of the inhabitants of that pretty little village, Paul's Cray, in Kent, in consequence of a most dreadful fire breaking out at Apollo-house, the residence of John Smith, Esq. a gentleman of independent fortune, situate near the vil lage church. Mr. Smith and his family happened to be in London, on a visit to his son, and the only persons in the house were two female domestics, and a lady named Davison, who was nearly 80 years of age, and bad for the last 18 months been bed-ridden. At about 11 o'clock on Saturday night the servants retired to bed, leaving all the fires and light extinguished, and all appeared perfectly safe. About the hour above stated, the servant of a gen tleman at Chiselhurst was passing the house on horse back, when he perceived the kitchen and parlour of the residence in flames, which were very rapidly rising to the floors above. Just before the flames had reached the top floor, the two servant maids made their appearance at the windows, screaming and wringing their hands in the greatest despair, as all means of retreat down stairs had been cut off, and a dreadful death stared them in the face. At length, just as the flames burst into the room in which they were, they jumped out, and were caught in a carpet, and miraculously escaped injury. Mrs. Davison, the old lady above alluded to, we regret to state, was buried in the ruins, as from the impetuosity of the flames all attempts to save her were impossible ; and the poor creature, whose piteous groans at one time were distinctly heard,vras abandoned to her fate. The ser vants state that on finding the house on fire they alarmed the old lady, and endeavoured to remove her, but before they could do so the flames rushed into the room, and they were obliged to retreat for their own security. At about nine o'clock yesterday morning the trunk of the old lady was found in the ruins, but her head, arms, and legs, were burnt off ! The remains were removed to the Bull Inn for a Coroner's Inquest, which will take place this afternoon. No cause can be assigned at prestnt as to the origin of this melancholy calamity. Mr. Smith is insured in the Phoenix. One hundred sovereigns were picked out of the ruins, belonging to Mr. Smith. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTEnSA LL'S.

Et! lasso Facey, a land coal meter, was brought before the Lulu MA7014 charged with having measured coals short, or rather s It' not having measured them at all. The coals, it appeared, had te, served to Christ's Hospital. The great public establishments a-, most liable to plunder, arising from the neglect or connivance of tt' land coal meters, and it is sincerely wished, that by the expected new law relating to coals there will exist no such office as a land coal meter, and that there will be a permanent cheek upon the enor. mous plunder which has been carried on against the consumer. Mr. Reeve and Mr. Bumstead, the principals of the Metege Office, attended. Vaughan, a coal-meter, deposed, that he had been callet! upon to measure a quantity of coals at Christ's Hospital; oat of sixty-four sacks there was but one that was measure. The detici. envy amounted to about twenty-six bushels, a quantity which was considerable in such a limited number of sacks. It was proved that the defendant was the coal•tneter appointed to attend at the delivery of the coals on the day specified in the summons. The LOAD liboroa regretted that the instance of fraud upon the pub& in this way were not at all on the wane, and he should not allow one to pass without a due share of punishment He was our. prised to find that such an establishment as Christ's Hospital 11,3. not more circumspect. , Mr. ADottnus, for the defendant, hoped that the Lord Mayor would be satisfied with giving an admonition in the present in. stance, as no fraud had been committed. The coals had, in fact, by what was called " fill away"—that was by guess as to the quantity (a mode of meting which was attended with expense very diffirent in degree,) been measured out to Christ's Hospital. It was there the error occurred, and it would be too rigid to inflicts more severe punishment than a mere admonition. The LORD IllaTost said be should sharpen the defendant's re. collection by giving him such time for cogitation as materially would lead him to a serious reflection. _ _ _ _ . The defendant said he had been suspended a week, and hoped that would be considered enough of castigation. He vowed that he had acted from ignorance, and that he would be most cautious in future. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . _ The LORD IIIAYOR ordered that the defendant's period of sue r:Wm should be prolonged for a fortnight. 111AMLBOROUGH.STREET. John Pattern, a peon wbo represented that be gained a live. hood by carrying a link in order to light the way to canines, was yesterday brought before F. A. Roe, Esq. charged with obstructing the way, and annoying the nobility and gentry at Mr. Quint': Dick's party, on Sunday evening. The policeman, 76 C, stated that the defendant was following gentlemen as they retired and soliciting charity, and to those who did not somply with his importunities he abused, and finally resisted the constable in the execution of his duty when requested to walk away. Ballad, an officer of this establishment, stated that the defendant usually carried a link or lantern to light parties to their carriages.— He was uniformly a most insolent fellow, and had made considerable confusion at Lady Stowell's Party, on Thursday last; in fact he was a regular annoyance to the haul ton. A Gentleman stepped forward and remarked that his conduct was of a similar description at Willis's. The defendant denied that he solicited for money, and endea voured to persuade the Magistrate he was a mighty civil man ; but failing in that he was fi ned ss. and committed for seven days in default.
