- :: ;. . • . ' - a. t 1: . . ... ~„ . . LAW INTELLIGENCE. . • . DtEL.—A meeting took place, early-on Saturday morning. in a field near Dublin, between L. S. B. and A. 13. Esqrs. After firing a shot each, the se conds interfered, and the parties left the •ground, without having received any injury. VERY EXTRAORDINARY CASE.- Gentleman, pos e sessed of £15,000 property, died in Dublin, a few months ago, leaving his wife prepant. Ile made his will shortly before his death, and disposed of the above sum in the following manneri—ln the event of his Lady being delivered of a son after his de cease, he bequeathed him £lO,OOO, and the remain ieg 125,000 he- willed to the mother; but if a female child, then £lO,OOO were-to go to the mother,' and the daughter was to have £5,000. It so happened, that the Lady was delivered of twins. a boy and a girl !—and the question arises, whether the boy is not, under the will, entitled to tile 4.10,090, and the daugh ter' to the £5,000? as these were specific bequests, and the bequest to the wife only made contingently. We understand that cases have been delivered to tae ATTORNEY and Soetertion-Gesene es, and to Mr. Hoestes and Mr. BLACKEURNE, for their opinions, as to whether the mother is entitled to any, and what portion of 'the property ?—The case is a most novel • and interesting one. Corr tit NA Tios.—Sunday se'imight,information was received at the-Head Police Office, in Dublin, that a • number of journeymen carpenters had assembled, for the purpose of combination, at a public-house, the corner of Sycamore-alley. • Peace officers proceeded thither, with a guard- of the police parole, about fifteen in number, all unarmed, and took into cus tody every man they found in the under - part of the house, who, it appeared, were all journeymen car penters, in all sixty-seven, and safely lodged them in the head Office, where, on the following morning, they onderwent an examination before the Magis trates, who would hare committed them to prison, but that they found security to abide their trial at the Sessions, for combination. • Extract of a Letter from Mayne, county Galway, dated January 26 :—" Tuesday night ; the 25th inst. a large body of those deluded persons, who call themselves Ribbonmen, marched along . tharoad from Moe lough to Horse-leap, in the direction of Tuarn. They reached Horse-leap about five o'clock in the morning, and their object being to compel the inha bitants of the village of Dangan, the property of Jou N BROWN, Esq. of Moyne, which is situated on a height above the bridge of Horse-leap, to take those illegal oashs, for the administration of which they are associated, they formed themselves into three de tachments, and approached the village by three distinct avenues. The inhabitants of Dangan, who have, ever since the comnrencement of these illegal proceedings, distinguished themselves for their loyal and declared determination to resist, to the utmost of their power, any attempt to force them to take illegal oaths, having had information that they were to be attacked on that night, Were on the alert till very shortly before the time at which these disturbers of the public peace made their appearance; when, not suspecting that any aggression would be made upon them on that night, as day-light was nearly approach ing, they retired to rest, but had not long lain down, when they were alarmed by some persons, who had been stationed, by them for the purpose of keeping watch, that the Ribbonmen were approaching; they immediately started from their beds, armed them selves in the best way they could, and met the assail ants. The leader of this loyal band, as soon as *he came within gun-shot of the Insurgents, fired upon them ; this fire threw them into confusion ; one per son, armed with a musket, attempted to return the fire, but missed fire, and was therefore knocked down by a blow of a stone, but instantly recovering, he fled, leaving his musket behind, which, upon exami nation, was found to be loaded with slugs. The In surgents now in full retreat were pursued and much injured by stones and other missiles, which were hurled at their heads. By this time, an uproar was heard in the village by the pursuing party. It ap pears, that while they were following one party of the Insurgents, another party of them had, by an other road, reached the village, and were proceeding to enter the houses, when the villagers deserting their, pursuit, returned to the village to protect theit wives and diddles ; here a sharp and close conflict ensued, which, however, was terminated in favour of the.vil lagers over those intruders upon their domestic peace,' who retired precipitately upon their third division, who appeered to act as a reserve, but who had not courage to renew the action. Several of the Insur gents were most severely, and it is apprehended, some of them mortally wounded in the conflict, but they were carried off by the reserve." The Postmasters-General of Ireland have, in a most praiseworthy manner, awarded A:5O and gold medals, to the guards of the Cork coach, for their excellent conduct in protecting the mails, in the re cent attack made near Clonmel ; they have also granted a pensiou to the guard whose arm has been amputated. The Guernsey Papers mention a most heroic act of a sailor, named Joseph Stevens, of the ship Huntress. A child, belonging to a Mr. Hoyle, a passenger, hay-• ing fallen overboard, in a brisk gale, in the Atlantic, he plunged into the sea, and though the ship was run ning at the rate of eleven knots, saved its life. . At Rome, on the M.h ult. the thermometer was at six degrees below the freezing point, and the Seven Hills were covered with snow. The Romans complained .much of the rigour of this temperature, to which they were so little accustomed. A letter from Brussel, dated January 2, says— - - We have just seen an account from Cadiz, dated the 18th uhimo. The following is the most remark able passage : The insurrection is near its end. The Major- General of the Army has shewn the greatest indig nation against the mutineers. The troops have begun the blockade of the Isle of Leon, and the rebels will soon have no resource but jo sin-rem:cr. Every thing is perfectly tranquil at Cadiz, and business has re sumed its usual muse." An account of the liith states, afar a part of the. ga:Tison cf Grenada had arrived 4 Cadiz, and that other reinforcements were expected from the interior. The marines of the fleet belonging to the expedition, do duty together with the land forces and the city Lard of Cadiz, which, in these critical circumstantes, s behava,l in the most exemplary manner. ~ - . COURT-OF' CHANCERY, FEBRUARY R. The LORD CHANCELLOR was attended Into -Contt.) by Master DOWDEBWELL, on whose head his Lord ship placed the official hat, with the ceeognony usual, an the appointment of a:Master.. THE-ATTORN&-GENERAL CATHERINE-HALL. Tis was an information -filtd against the Master and Fellows of Catherine-Hall; Cambr idge, under the old foundation, at the relation of the Master and. Fellows tinder the new foundation. The' bill set forth, that We rents and profits of certain estates de vised to Catherine-Hall by the late Mrs. ltamsden, had of late years greatly increased, and the relators prayed that this surplus rent might be applied to the augmentation of their salaries, in compliance with the will of the testatrix. The defendants stated in their answers, that the salaries of the relatc..s had been augmented since the year 1807, and that the new foundation had already been benefited as far as Mrs. Ramsden had intended; that the old foundation was considerably in debt; and that it was evident, from the will of the testatrix, that she meant to consult its interests, rather than those of the new foundation. The pleadings had only been opened, when the LORD CHANCELLOR said he was obliged, on account of other business, to leave the Court. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, FEBRUARY 8. " The Court were occupied the greater part of the day in hearing arguments on special points of law. - _ CAMELS V. BRITTAN. • • This was an action on a policy of insurance on the ship Venus, from London to Pernambuco. The policy was written on 200 barrels of gunpowder, some small shot, and various other articles. She arrived in safety at Pernambuco, but on her arrival, was seized by two Portuguese vessels, on the ground that the gunpowder, which formed part of the cargo, was contraband goods. The underwriters refused to pay the policy on this ground also. The plaintiff brought his action, which was tried at Guildhall in July last, before he CHIEF JUSTICE, and a verdict was taken for the plaintiff, leveral• points being re served for the opinion of the Court. It appeared, that the Venus sailed under a licence which was ob tained by one of her owners, a merchant named rawcet, but ,the plaintiff had not taken out any licence ; and, in addition to other points, the under writers now contended, that the want of this licence rendered the voyage, as related to the plaintiff, ille gal, and therefore that he could not recover. Mr. CAMPBELL, for the plaintiff, now argued, that under the provision of the 12th of Charles 11. it was not necessary the plaintiff should have any licence for small shot, which could net be consi dered as ammunition or warlike stores; and there fore, as regarded that part of the cargo, the voyage at least was legal. Mr. PULLEN, on behalf of the nndefwriters, con tended, that the voyage was illegal altogether, and that the plaintiff could not recover. The Court took time to consider its judgment. THE 'KING V. HUNT AND OTHERS. At the moment the Court was about to rise, Mr. Hunt presented himself to their Lordships, and said he had to renew his application on the sub ject of the Manchester conspiracy. When he last mentioned this subject, on Saturday, he was told by their Lordships they could not grant a writ of cer tiorari to remove the proceedings from Lancashire, unless with the consent of all the defendants. He had now got the Affidavit of the Attorney for all the defendants, stating; that they agreed in the ap plication. The CHIEF-JUSTICE.—The Attorney will then in struct Counsel,. if he thinks proper so to do, to make the application. - Mr. Hunt said Mr. Chitty had been instructed; but be hoped he was not precluded from moving for himself. The CHIEF-JUSTICE.—You were told, the other day, no certiorari can be moved for, unless the par ties consent in the application. Mr. Hunt—My Lord, all do consent now. Mr. Justice HoLnoYD.--We must have them be fore the Court. Mr. Justice BAYLEY.—Mr. Chitty, are you in structed for all the defendants ? MT. CHITTY.—No, my Lord, I am not. The CHIEF-JUSTICE said, the Court could not break through established rules. Mr. Runt said, any. rule which required the at tendance of all the defendants in Court, if situated as the present defendants were, was unjust. One of the parties was in close custody in Lancaster jail, and could not possibly be present. The CHIEF-JUSTICE observed, the person in ques tion might, if he thought fit, instruct Counsel; hisi imprisonment did not preclude him from taking that, course. The Court was not warranted in granting' the present application.. Mr. Hunt said, as application, under similar ctr-' cumstances, had been granted by Mr. Justice Bay ley (the Learned Judge had quitted the Court at this this time) in the case of Sir C. W.lseley. The Court observed, if the defendant had any case to offer, which he thought would induce the Bench to graut his application, he might mention it to-morrow, when the Court was full ; and, in order to afford him an opportunity of doing so, they would call on the defendant before the Gentlemen at the Bar were called on. Mr. Hunt then quitted the Court. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, FEBRUARY 8. BUTT V. SIR NATHANIEL CONANT. The final judgment of the Court was this day given in this case. It was an action of trespass and false imprisonment, brought by the plaintiff against Sir Nathaniel Conant, for having issued a warrant; by which the plaintiff was arrested, and subsequently committed for want of bail. The warrant had been issued on account of a publication of two libels, one en Lord Ellenborough, the late Chief Juitice of the Court of King's Bench, and the ether on Lord Castlereagh. The case had been brought to trial before the Chief Justice, DALLAS, who declared at the time that the defendant, as a Magistrate, was justified by the law in doing what he had done. The Jury found a special verdict ; and the point of law now came on to be argued for the second time; and; I On this, as well as the former occasion, Mr. Serjeant VAUGHAN contended on behalf of the plaintiff, that he was entitled to damages, inastnuct as the Justice had no right to commit lint for that which was not ' " . . ace,.. hough it dead to silt It. He quoted, in support of his argument, st Coke, who lays down the doctrine, that a man hinot •be arrested and held to bail for a crime cog ,lizable in Sessions by one Justice of the Peace alone, and sitting out of Sessions. • Mr. Serjeant BOSANQUET, on the other. side, con tended that a libel came under the description of ; and as, such the Magistrates were justified' by law in holding libellers to bail. The Courts of Law, in the cases of the seven Bishops and of Mr. Wilkes, had assumed the arrest would have been good, but that they were privileged persons. In NVilkees case, they did not affect to say, that a private person might not be arrested. A man may, upon the slightest assault, be committed in default of bail; and in libel, which May provoke an aggravated breath of the peace, shall it be said that the Magistrate has not the like jurisdiction'? Hale, Lord unit, and Hawkins, are all opposed to Lord Coke, agreeing that a man may be held to bail before indictment found. • The CIIIEF JUSTICE said this case had been tried before him, and at the trial he distinctly laid down the law to the Jury—which was, that the Magistrate had the power of holding a man to bail for a libel. Thii was clearly the law of the country ever since the accession of King William ; and had frequently been declared to be the law before that time. Ile was glad that the question now came before the Court for its decision, because the interest of the country required that it should be set at rest. The cases of the seven Bishops and of Wilkes had no connexion with the present, because they were de clared to be exempted from commitment on account of thtir privileges as Members of Parliament. But. with regard to libels pUblished by ether persons, they : were misdemeanours leading to :t breach of the peace, and Magistrates were justified by law in holding the offenders to bail? A verdict therefore must be en tered for the defendant. The other Judges unanimously concurred in the same opinion. • Mr. Butt was in Court during the whelc of the discussion. MA NSlON:HOUS£.—Yesterd ay two Gentlemen, who hold shares in extensive salmon fisheries in the North, complained to the LORD MAYOR, that fish, contain ing spawn, and otherwise unclean, were sold in the London markets, much to the injury of the fair dealer. Some of the fish was brought tiom Billings gate; and it was stated, that there they were sold for threepence or threepence-halfpenny a pound to the fishmongers, by whom they were often retailed at four shillings and sixpence per pound. The LORD MAYOR, on looking into the Act of Parliament against these practices, said, that there would pro bably be some profitable work for informers and of-' ficers, as it was determined that one moiety of the fine inflicted on the offender should go to the infor mer, and the other to the Overseers of the Poor of the Parish in which the offence should be committed. This provision would impose a check upon the fish mongers, particularly as it authorized any body to make a seizure of the unseasonable fish, and place it in the hands of a constable; who was authorized and required to take the offender into custody, and bring him before a Justice. liVhen such a peremptory pro ceeding was generally known, those _who had de rieed.such immense and iniquitous _profits from the retail, would probably avoid the hazard of a convic tion. The fine imposed upon each offence was £lO. The Deputy Water Bailiff said, that the sale of un seasonable salmon at Billingsgate could easily be done away with; but the dealers in the North, by whom the unseasonable fish was transmitted, were in the. habit of consigning all salmon hr boxes to fish mongers; in which case, the salesmen had it not in their poWer to prevent the Public from being im posed upon. The LORD MAYOR said, the Act was most formidable tb such persons. His Lordship con demned the fish, and ordered Mr. Mitchelson to burn it at Billingsgate. After this ceremony was per formed, in the presence of a great number of fish mongers, Fleet-market and other markets were searched; but the matter had got wind, and net a pound of unseasonable salmon was to be found. HATTON•GARDENe—Read, jun. belonging to this Office, arrived yesterday, from Northampton, and gave the following detail. He said, that he had re turned from Boughton Park, the seat of her Grace the Duchess of Buccleugh, where he was dispatched on Monday week, after some villains who had nearly murdered four - of her Grace's gamekeepers. On the night of the 25th ult. John Potter, gamekeeper to her Grace, was in his Lodge, in Boughton Park, ac companied by his brother Joseph Potter, J. Shaw, and T. Fletcher, three other gamekeepers to her Grace. About twelve o'clock they were alarmed by the report of -a shot, fired at some distance, which they knew to be fired by some poachers ; .they pro ceeded in order to apprehend them, when, hearing the sound of voices approaching, it being a fine moon light night, they concealed themselves behind a large tree, and, ascertaining that the poachers were many in number, they consulted whether they might with safety attack them. At last they all agreed to be 'faithful to each other, immediately rushed for ward, and each laid hold of his man. One of the Poachers hallooed out Murder ! which was answered from behind the hedges .with the words Up ! Up ! and immediately a party, supposed to be 14 or 15 in number, each armed with a heavy club, or pole, rushed on them, knocked down J. Potter, and beat him most unmercifully ; another of the villains beat Joseph Potter in a similar manner, whilst he was struggling with one of the poachers, whom he had under him in a ditch. The villain then took his musket, and snapped it several times at Joseph Pot ter, but the priming . would not burn, owing toget ting wet, by their lying in the grass. John Potter repeatedly cried out to them to desisf, and go awaj about their business; seeing there were too many a them, or else one of them should have the contents. of the double-barrelled gun which he had in his hand. They cried out to him, d' Shoot, shoot, you b--; you cannot kill us all !" He was immediately sur , rounded, knocked down again, and six or seven. of them . were beating him at one time. -The unfortunate Man repeatedly called out to have mercy on him, and spare him for his wife and family.- Joseph Pot ter, John Shaw, and Thomits.Fletcher, were also severely beaten, and left for dead. On the villains retreating, John Putter seized his double-barrelled gun and discherged at them, and. shot one of than the ri;ht arm. The villains again returned, and - : unfortunate mot until they toought they had deprived them of life, • and thcn effected their, escatili taking John Potter's double-barrelled gun with diem. Some time after, Fletcher recovered suf ficiently to crawl as far as the gardener's cottage, where he gave an account of what had happened, when a Surgeon was sent for, who dressed their wounds. On Read's learning all these particulars, be obtained warrants to search ten cr twelve suspected houses in a little village, called Brigstock, about six or seven *riles distant from Boughton Park. li e went onWednesday afternoon to execute the warrant, accompanied only by Mr. Crazies White, a respect able farmer, and Constable of:Birgstock, to search for the ,gun taken from John-Potter. This search was executed at the peril of their lives, the place being the rendezvous of a desperate body of Facher s, who, the Officers learned, were sworn to be true to each other. Wheit Read was entering one of the houses, occupied by a man named Richard:on, Rich .ardson'Owife met him,at the door, and told him he shotficEliot enter, as her husband was lying ili of t.le typhusfever, and not expected to live. Read said he was a doctor ; he was not afraid of the fever, and venuld:,„.see her husbaitd. By much ado he gained .admittance; he found the wretch lying in bed i n a most dreadful state. Read pulled down the clothes, and perceived that his tight arm was bandaged up, and swollen nearly as 'thick as his body; and, from the equivocating answiis he received to the questions he put, he had no dote orr his mind but Richardson was the man whom John Potter shot at. Read sent for a Surgeon, who came and examined the wound, which - vias nearly seven inches long, the flesh being laid open to the bone; and in his presence six shots werb extracted from it. From the information he received, he returnedand obtained warrants against Richardson, William 'Bland, Solomon Rawson, and Matchless Clarke; and at an early hour next morn ingowith no other assistance than Mr. White, he ap prehended them in their beds, and brought the three latter, handcuffed; - to John Potter's house, where the two Magistrates were come to take the depositions. The four gamekeepers swore to them, and also to Richardson, who was in too dangerous t state to be removed. John Potter is not out of danger, but the other three, after a great loss of blood, are in a fair i4y of recovery. The prisoners were committed to Northampton Jail. IVIARLBOROUGH•STREET A youth, named a pigeon -fancier, in Seven Dials, noted for caulo-s, who could bring -home the winner of a Mou'oey horst fight within a quarter of an hour, was charged by a Gentleman, aimed Hoile, with stealing a flight of pigeons, consisting of forty, from the top of his house, when at roost. Samuel Furzeman, an officer of St. Giles's, on examining the tops of the horoes, traced the thieves from the top of the house where the prisoner lived, within three doors of that of the prosecutor, to the pigeon -loft; and he afterwards dis covered that the prisoner was present at the sale of the pigeons, at a shop in Old-street-road, in com pany with others not in custody.—Remanded. • , . .•.,.. . . . . . • . . . .. . . , • •- • • ••' • • • • . . ~ . - • - .. . _o , • . . . . . . .. . • * IRELA Ai 1.. • • • .••, • _ . . . .1 aee t-;tr e s Peace . , although it might lead to suc 6eatothe * unfortunate - Wen until they thoug ht they • ~ • ' LAW INTELLIG4. • • . - a enselt.
