COURT OF CHANCERY, Jess el • At .the opening of the Court, Mr. Buoy9nA4 111)• paved sittio , nhehihd the Bar. The Loict i :GniSilscer.Lea,orstaking his seat, adds-milli the Learned tientleman, and informed him thay„.hits Majesty had been graciously pleased to grant him a Patent of Precedency, and he was thereby required to take his seat 'within the Bar. Mr. Bauuostast took his seat accordingly within the Bar and being asked whether he had any motion to imake? stated that he had a motion to make in the case of Mr. Wellesley. 'The LORD. CRANCRLLOR expressed a wish that it could be postponed till the Bankrupt Petitions should be disposed o'. After a short conversation, the motion was postponed to Monday. IMPARTS BURGESS, IN RE BURGESS. Mr. SIMMER, in support of a petition presented by the bankrupt, praying that the commission issued against him might be superseded, argued that the bankrupt was aot a trader within the meaning of the statute, having only made bricks from his own estate. The fact was, the petitioning creditor having made love to Miss Fanny Turner, the daughter-in-law of the bank rupt, a young Lady of fourteen, with a fortune of 8,0001. and not being successful, issued a commission of bank rup:cy against her father-in-law. Mr. Rosa and Mr. SwANSToN contended, that the bankrupt was a trader within the words of the last Act of Parliament, which included all persons engaged in the "workmanship of goods and commodities." The Loan CHANGIII.I.OII was satisfied that the words in the last Act were not intended to have the operation contended for; bth as it was a novel and an important point, he would not give his decision till he had more maturely considered the case. VICIL-CHANCELLOWS COURT, JIM 23. . - . ♦RIGNA YINING COYPAMIT.-NITCHINS V. CONCIREVZ DROODILD, AND °THUM. This was a suit instituted by the plaintiff, as well for himself as others, the Shareholders in the Arigna Mining Company, against the defendants, who were, the Directors of it. Mr. PANHERTON moved that the plaintiffs might be at liberty to examine James Hinde before the Master, de bent esse, he being now about to leave this country fur the purpose of residing abtoad. The application was, foundeJ on the affidavit of the plaintiff's solicitor, which set forth that Hinde was a necessary witness, and that he Understood from him, a short time since, that he was abodt to proceed to the East Indies, with the inten tion of remaining these. Hinde at the same time in• formed him that he was ready and willing to be now examined. In answer to the application, an affidavit was put in, stating that Hinde was himself a Share holder, and as such necessarily interested in the suit; but this was an objection which the Learned Gentle man thought could be removed by Hinde*s transferting his share•. Mr. l'irmustons said. that he appeared for James Brogden, the Messrs. Clark, and one or two other de fendants, who had not demurred to the Bill ; other defendants lad, however, put in demnrrers which were not yet disposed of. The Learned Gentleman appre hended, that under these circumstances the application could not be granted. The defendants, who had filed' these demur lets, denied that the Plaintiffshid any eguitt, and of course could not examine the witness. So that Lis client would, by the order now prayed, beploced in a situation different from those who had - precisely the same interest with him. The Bill was tiled by the cla;ming for himself and the other Share holder., the sum of 15,0001. which three individuals in sisted on retaining, under the impression that it belonged to them, to the exclusion of the Shareholders. • The VICE-CHANCELLOR thought the application one SlNcli could not be refused. WILKES V. LORD PALMERSTON AND OTHERS. Mr. CUTNG applied to have the demurrer put into the plaintiff's bill advanced to the head of his Honour's paper. The bill was filed by Mr. Wilkes for the pur pose of enforcing a contract with the defendants, for the sale of mines to the value of between seventy-six and eighty thousand pounds. The defendants had commenced an action at law against the plaintiff' in respect of the matter which was in suit here ; and it was, therefore, of the utmost importance to Mr. Wilkes, that the demurrer should be disposed of, in order that he might have the benefit of thi answer of the defendants: A junior Barrister said, that he was with Mr. Horne, for the defendants, and assured his Honour that he was not aware of the action at law, to which allusion had been made. At all events, the action was not comi►►g on so speedily as to warrant this application. The Vice CHANCELLOM—It would appear, Mr. Chyng, that your client is rather nervous (the imputa tion of nervousness to Mr. Wilkes excited considerable merriment in Court).• His Honour refused the appli cation, observing, that there was nothing before him which led him to think that the Court ought, in this instance, to depart from the regular course of business. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Just,. slit 0. MOSELEY, emir. V. WALIEZR This was an action on the case against the defendant, for selling fish in his private shop, at Manchester, to the prejudice of the plaintiff, as grantee of the mat ket of that town. At the last Summer Amzes for Lanca. shire, the plaintiff had a verdict for one shilling. A Rule Nisi for a new trial having been granted in Mi chaelmas Term, cause was now shewn by the ATTOR• NSF-GENERAL, Mr. STARKIZ, and Mr. WIGHTHAN.— In - support of the flute, Mr. GURNEY was heard. Two points were made ; first, whether the plaintiff's grant extended to private shops in the town? and, second, whether, supposing it did, the plaintiff bad left suffi cient space in the market for the defendant to vend his goods?—The latter being a question of fact, was left for the Jury, and they found for the plaintiff. The•Couat were now of opinion that the grant to tl c plaintiff, as Lord of the market, Wai co-extensive ith the I.mits of the manor (within which the Men ri.tnt lived), and the Jury having found that there was space enough fir the defendant's accommodation, the verdict could not be disturbed.—Rule discharged. GFIOUSE NO GAME.—DUXE OF DEVONSHIRE O. I,ODGE. This was An action of trespass brought by the plain tiff aga in s t the defendant, who is a respectable Clergy man,. f or shooting grouse on a warren belonging to his Gtoce, which were alleged to be " birds of warren,"— _ . i.e. game. In the course of an elaborate aigument on both sides, yesterday, much merriment occndred. The Soucyron GENERAL laid it down as a broad propositioo, that all wild animals fit for human food must be taken as beasts or birds of warren; whereupon —Mt. Justice BAYLEY *saved, that was too wide an argument, because within his own knowledge there iris a wild bird which m ode a very good puddivg, and let no one would contend it was a bird of warren—be meant a sparrow. The Arrontier CZNERAL, in the course of his argu opsent, observed, " We northern men, my Lords, are very much interested in protecting our grouse, because we hold them in high estimation ;" whereupon Lord Trwrannso said, " And we southern men,Mr. AttorneyZeneral, esteem them equally high when we can get them." Lord TENTZRDICX pronounced the following ink. went, deciding that grouse is not :game ;—" In this case the principal question was, whether grouse is a bird of warren? Now the franchise of warren is a very great fianchise, and gives to the owner or prom ietor an exclusive right over all wild animals, and over all the grounds of the Lord—the grantee of the franchise may go and claim all wild animals that are fed on the land of another. Such being the nature of the franchise, we think we cannot extend ir, by any intendment or argu ment, to any species of animal which we do not find, by ancient documents or history, have been deemed beasts or birds of warren. Now in no book of law is a grouse mentioned as a bird of warren. Manwood confines the birds of warren to two descriptions, namely, pheasant and partridge, and he founds his doctrine on the form of a writ in the Register, and va rious other writs to be found in old books, and in these we find birds of warren and beasts of warren mentioned generally ; but in the writ in the Register the !Oasts and birds of warren are enumerated, hare, coney, pheasant, and partridge; and in all other instasices we only find some one or mare t•I these four ire mentioned. It is not, perhaps, at this great distance of time, very easy , to say why one description of animal should be deemed; a beast or bird of warren, and another not; but theie may be some reason to suppose, that, according id . the manner of hawking, or hunting, or taking birds of war ren, in very ancient times, before the hivent'on of guns and powder, grouse was not a bit d that could be taken by any of the ordinary modes of sporting. That may be the reason of the omission. Another reason may be, that though it is a bi4d very common, and in great plenty in some parts of the country, in others it is alto. gethew unknown. N.t fining it mentioned by any writer as a bird of wan en, and thinking we ottAht not to extend the Iranchise to any species of animal not found in ancient authorities, we are of opinion that grouse is not a laird of warren, and therefore a nonsuit must be entered." DIMNESS OP THE COURT.. The COURT announced that they would take the spe cial and Crown cases respectively, on Tuesday and Wednesday next.—At haN-, ast one o'clock the Court rose, the Judges of this Cum t being summ 3ned to meet their brethren in the Exchequer Chamber.• A ncii ES COURT, Jru 23. SMYTH I) SMYTH. This was an appeal from the Consistory Court in a suit by the wife ag 'last the husband for a divorce, by reason of cruelty and adultery. The c ru.e was assigned for hearing in the court below, w eisti ioa alimony being first paid." Mr. Smyth petitioned against the payment of costs and alimony, under the circumstances of the case, but the Judge refused the Petition: an ap peal wet asserted, and now came on for hearing. Dr. HAGGARD, fur Mr. Smyth, contended that the rule for payment of costs and alimony by the husband was not without eieeptions, and that the peculiar cir cumstances of this case justified its being made an ti= 'eeption. He was proceding to enter intollre merits of tke case, in order to shew that . Mrs: Smyth had con., doned the offences 'meted to (fee hOsbilind, g d thatt the suit was frivolous and eatitim*- - Sir Joist; Ntentrt.t, intirposing, &Aria, that the Learned Advecate was not authorised to discuss the merits; because the relos II of Mr. Smyth to pay costs and alimony was the very ground why the hearing of the merits was obstructed. It certainly was competent for the Court, upon strong grounds, to hear the cause without previous payment r.f costs and alimony ; but this was not a case *filch just;fied exception from the rule. As to the allegation that the suit was frivolous and vexatious, he would ask whether the Learned Ad vocate had read the evidence in chief, where it had been distinctly proved that Mrs. Smyth had been forcibly dragged to a madhouse, and kept there some time, till her friends were enabled to bting her before Judges Park and Richaldson, who, upon the clear certificates of physicians, pronounced her sane? This was merely one of the facts in evidence. The Learned Judge was of opinion that there was no ground whatever for de- parting from the rule. He accr:rdingly confirmed the, sentence of the Court below, and remitted the cause. At a subsevent period of the day, the Court, at the jointrequest of both parties, retained the suit in this Ccurt. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, JUNI 23. NOVEL CASE. Mr. James Cline, a stage coach proprietor at Ham mersmith, came up to be heard upon his Petition to be discharged. Mr. Commissioner HARRIS, after perusing the Sche dule, said that the . presetii case was a novel one, be cause the insolvent only sought to be discharged from one debt, and that was due to his Majesty's Treasury, and atone from a defalcation in the payment of duties. Under these circumstances the Court did not see that they had power to comply with the prayer of the in solvent's Petition. Mr. Hearn requested the Learned Commissioner to refer to and collate the several Acts of Parliament, which request was complied w ith. The COMBLISRIONRR then said. that he still remained of the same opinion ; nevertheless, had a detainer been lodged against the Insolvent upon a civil action, the Court would have heard arguments of Counsel upon the different constructions of the Acts of Parliament. The Court had an enlarged power in these matters. The ATTORNEY said that a detainer might be lodged COURT—Yes, but then the man will have to corn• :pence de novo. With regard, however, to this l etition, the Court has but one alternative, namely, to dismiss it. In the first place, it is not within the purview of the Act of P.irliament, and in the neat. we have no power to discharge against a debt due to the Crown. The petition was then dismissed, and the Insolvent remanded to his previous custody. In the Vice Chancellor's Court on Thursday, the rain found its way in abundant and refreshing showers, through the roof, upon the wigs and costume of the Learned Counsel. Mr. litmus was obliged to move from the seat which he 4enerally occupies, and several Banisters were inconvenienced. His Houotta observed, that if this continued, they would be under the necessity of sending to the architect for umbrellas. POLICE INTELLIOINCE. BOW-ST It MIT. - - - - Awes Died, a respectably-dressed young man, was brought up on a warrant, charged with assaulting Sarah Ashley, a yuang female winning an attracdve person and manners, who stated that she became .cquainted with the defendant about tyro years age, *hen she was 'living in respectability with her friends, and he prcifeested an honourable attachment to bet. He promised bee marrisys.und in an evil hoar before that marriage was performed, she beeanee Ma victim. He then refused to marry bet; and being abandoned by hereelativee, she was obliged to accept of his offer se (vine and live with him. He treated her kindly for a time ; but Utterly he had behaved to her in a very brutal manner. He had often beaten her with a large sticks and , gieen her blows with his fist; and on one occasion he threatened. to lOU laser with a penknife, and in de. fending herself from his attack, the received several cuts on her hands and arms.—(The witness here cella:llWd several scars to the Magistrate, which the said were obcasioned by the wounds she had described.) Mr. klutanutt, after expressiug himatif with considerable warmth upon the cowardly conduct of the defendant, censured the com plainant for not coming before a klaghtrate at the time those wounds were inflicted. " If," said Mr. blzrutum., " bad been brought before me at the time upon that charge, I should most cer tainly have committed him fur the capital offence of cutting a maiming." The complainant went on to state, that on Thursday evening last the defendant struck her over the eye with his fist, which had blackened it in a dreadful manner. (Sbe removed a andage from her right eye, which was really in a frightful state.) The defendant, in answer to the &aide, said, the complainant had given him great provocation. It *as against the wishes of his friends that he lived with her, and he wanted her to leave him, but she refused to do so. _ _ Mr. Muumuu—Yoe are an unmanly fellow, and I require you to find bail, yourself in 401. and two sureties in ea each. The defendant was locked up until be could find the required sureties. J. Smith, a respectable-looking elderly Waterman, semi charged by T. Taylor, a pater, with having robbed him of his watch, while rowing him from Slackfriar's-bridge to Waterloo Stairs. The pro seeutor, who was intoxicated, mole positively that he had his watch safe on entering the .boat, and missed it immediately after he had landed. The prosecutor was asked what the defendant was doing s whik he continued in the boat? and his reply was, that he was row ing. Upon which, the Magistrate inquired how it was possible that a man so occupied could take it watch front another's pocket? The prosecutor. however, bald that he had been taking a nap, and that the theft was committed while he was asleep. A witness, however, informed the Magistrate that the fact was, that the watch had beam found in the Privy of a public house, in 1131achfriars'-road, where the prosecutor had been drinking, and where he had left It. 'ibis the' prosecutor positively denied moil his own wife came forward, and stated the fact to be as the witness bad asserted. The Magistrate, declared, that a more impudent charge he never beard preferred, and hoped that the defendant would not let such genes conduct go unpunished. A number of respectable persons came forward to attest Smith's respectability; and that, in consequence of his es. em, lary conduct through lite, he had been received into the Alma• house. Mr. Missouri. regretted the want of power to punish the author of such an unwarrantable charge. M A ItY-LA=BONN Saturday Mrs. Poole, of Mite-street, Manchester-equate, pre ferred a charge against G. Gmake and Mary Hansori, of Livom grove, fur having in their possession a mischievous dog. She stated, that about a fortnight since she was passing by the dour of the de fendants, when a dog flew out and bit her leg severely, and kept tight hold of the part until st . e was asdsted and extricated from the animal's grasp. She immediately applied to a Surgeon, who waited upon the defendants to ascertain whether the dog was mad or not? but they refused to let bins fee it. Mr. RAWLISION said, that it was shameful, after the caution that had been given, that dogs should be suffered to go about in such numbers Without bring muzzled. Unless the dog was immediately produced to the Sur geon, or something done to satisfy the mind of the Lady that there was no danger, he should order them to find bail to answer the charge at the Sessions, and be would take good care that a prosecu ti•sn should be instituted against them—The parties were commit-, ted fur want of bail. Bales, Datil, and W. Carrington, the first 12 years old, the others youoger,wrre charged with stealing fruit. Mr: Braithwaite,l the Engineer, stated, that on Friday night be detected five boys' robbing his garden at Westhourniteen. lie endeavoured to ap prehend them all, but two escaped with an immense quantity of apples, and he SecUTMI the three at the bar. They had entirely stripped three apple-trees of fruit, which they could not eat, and he was more vexed at the wanton destruction than the loss of his pro perty. lie recommended the two younger pelsouers to the blagis trate's favourable consideration, because they were penitent; hut' wished Bates to be dealt with rigidly, as he appeared hardened in crime.—Mr. Gamma gave op Davis and Carrington to their friends,and committed Bates(who has been twice before in custody) to the House of Correction fur three moonths.• QUEEN-SQUARE. Saturday Mary Caskd was charged with robbing 4'. Rowe and 11. Carroll, gallant sons of Neptune, of three As notes. Rowe stated, that they ►ad just returned from South Anserlea, when their ship was surrounded by bum-boats, in one of which was blary, whom he took in tow, and having received £6O in wages, &e. he completely rigged her out, and brought her to town. He after wards took a place In the Portsmouth coach for her to return, bet previously introduced her to his father as his wife. When she was on the point of setting out he examined his locker, missed two 45 notes, and his messmate one. He then bad her apprehended, and one of the notes was found on her. She, of course, denied the rob tarry, and ►aid the note was given her by Rowe. This ►e denied, saying he gave her one ZS note, but that she changed to buy a pair of shoes for a friend. She was then committed, and when about to be locked up the honest tar's heart began to melt, and he asked if she had any thing to eat ? The officer replied in the negative, when he desired him to get something at his exptose. The officer pro m:teed a plate of beef. " No, no," said Rowe," get her something she can fancy--s fowl, peas, asparagus, or any thing she likes. I know what it is to be in limbo myself." She was then removed. with directions that she might want for nothing that money could procure. GUILDHALL. Saturday Irslilam Byworth, a brass-founder, was charged by the Overseers of St. Botolph, Akiersgate, with deserting his wife end child. The wife, a decorous looking young woman, said she hod been obliged to depend upon the parish for assistance during the cast month. Her husband had left her ahogether the last fortnight, but she believed he was out of employ. The Overseer stated, that the prisoner bad quitted his employment voluntarily, and not from being discharged, and called into the witness box a woman anew old enough to be the mother of the prisoner's wife, who swore she was in the nine month of her pregnancy, and that the prisoner was the father. She had known him since be was* child ; but had use beg known lie was married ; Sir Peres Lavaca ordered the pri soner to be committed in default of sureties, to abide an order of affiliation. HATTON-GARDEN. Amongst a number of persons summoned from the neighbour hood of Somers-town, before the Magistrates of this office, on Saturday, for non-payment of the lighting and watch tax, was a woman named Mrs. Mary Salmon. A middle-aged and respcctabie•leoking man appeared on behalf of the party summoned, and said that Mrs. Saloion war' a poor widow woman, and totally unable to meet the demand of the Com missioners for the tax in question. Latrimore, the constable, said that he thought the statement just made nut a correct one, as he had reason to believe that Mrs. Salmon's husband was alive: Ile requested the Magistrates to swear the person who had just addressed them as to the truth of what he advanced. The Testament was banded to the person who appeared for MN. Salmon, but be declined being sworn. On the Magistrates pressing him as to his objection to be sworn, be reluctantly admitted that it was because he was in,truth the husband of Mrs. Salmon. The Magistrates, Messrs. Lam and Rooms, were highly indig nant at the attempt thus made to Impose upon them, and ordered instant payment of the sons demanded• or, in default, a warrant of distress to be Issued against Mrs. Salmon's goods.—The newly discovered husband sneaked oat of the oMce rather awkwardly. LA M BETH-STREET. gaturday Dennis Connor was finally examined on a charge of stealing i watch.

They raised a dispute about the time of the day, and the, prisoner and the prosecutor pulled out their watches, when the for. met said," That's a pretty watch of yours; let's have a look at it." So aayiitg, he took it, popped It into his fob, and, In reply to a re quest that it might be returned, very coolly answered, " I wish you may get it !" and took an °preciosity of. walking olf with it, while poor Jamey was bony with his pint and pipe. The landlady cor roborated this testimony, and the prisoner was fully connuittcd. ' SPORTIMG INTELLIGINCE, • BUITON LACES-30,1 20. A Gold Cup .
