The atteution of his Honour was. occupied the greater part of this and the two following days, .by two charity causes : znE ATTORNEY GINERAL V. TUE CORPORATION OF HASTINGS. This was an information filed by the Arrottese GENERAL, at the instance of Mr. James Breeds, an inhabitant of the town of Hastings, impeaching the conduct of Ntr. Milward, and the other Members of the Cerpot at iea, who were the Trustees of the Cha rity Estates, in the management thereof. The facts were shortly these :—A Mr. Parker, in the year 161%. Jett, a .cons;derable landed estate for the establishment of a school, in the town of Has tings. It appears that the Trustees had, for very many years, let the estates at very low rents, and, in some instances, to Members of the Corporation. In the year 1809, the estates were held at a rent of ; though in the same or following year, the Trustees received offers From respectable persons, to take the same lands at e2lO per annum ; at which rent the same are now let, under the direction of the Court. It appears there ought to be three distinct Charity Sehooli at Hastings, but the Trustees had blended them, and appointed one person matter of all. Sir SAIDIL ROMILLY and Mr. HART animadvert. ed with their wonted perspicuity on such a conduct'; and his Honour was pleased to decree, that the Chi rity should be duly regulated, and the Corporation should pay the costs of all parties. THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. MR. LAMB AND MR. Mlt.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, DECEMBER 10. THE *HEAL ELYSICSI..-.-•FORHEIll b COLLINS. The defendant herein was. the individual who neat forth, in the fashionable. world, some few months Since, a prospectus for the establishment of a Royal Elysium in the nei4hhonrhood of " The Regent's Park ;" and the plain 4 had been employed by him to begin to carry this mighty plan into execution, by commencing the erection of certainimatense rotundas, &c. for which woe 1: he now sought the payment. Mr. Pen KE crated the case, and read the prospectus. It proposed to erect rotundas of foot' hundre diameter, 'similar to that formerly at Ranelagi lay out ground promenade:, and rooms for routuig and waltzing—to collect Ater: if water for marine expe riment: and aquatic exploits—to have concert rooms for people to consort together—to make, in fact, an Elysium tar more bewitching and enchanting this' any' thing that had ever been imagined by painter or poet, amongst the ancients or moderns.—The atibiements were to be far beyond any thins th at vt.r been seen at the Old Rattelagh ; and, instead or •Ivir occu pying the evraintr of odr citizens and fashionaks, thiy were to destroy that accursed enemy of oirrinoiniagr—. ennui! But more—these pleasurable, 'blissful, en chanting, bewitching, Elysian entertainments, were not only to be superior to any that had ever been seln in the warld, but they were also, by a Wonderful combination of opposites, to tend to the advancement •of the Artt and Sciences! To give reality and substan tiality to this splendid vision, the small sum of . fifty thousand pound: was to be raised by f 59 shares I Nell, but that was Mr. Cdllins's business ; in his brain It •was reality already. Revelling already in these pleasurable scenes, he employed the plaintiff to erect 'those monstrotis rotundas • but, on applying to him for some money, he told the plaintiff, what very pro. bably was the truth, that he had noyst received a guistos in aid of his plan. Yet the Jury would tell him that be must pay those whom he employed, although he Itf i tt not have received a guinea in I urtikerance of his prospects. The liability of the defendant being proved by his own letters, and the hand-writing being sworn to 6y Mr. Tura% an attorney, Lotd Eitipasoftocort enquired of Mr. T. whether Collins was' T raneraan ? fur nobody but a madman could think of realizing such visionary bliss without a wink]: Witness did not know exactly bow that might 14e, but he believed Mr. Collins to have obtained the plan from some foreigner. As for himself, he had given legal advice to the defendant, he hav ing requested of witness to pet his name to th e prospectus, as Sc/icier to the concern. Lord Ettaasononou—Oh! then you were to have furnished the kiev as' . rafts ? No doubt, tbe vision would have gone off tolerably well with your legal impetus!" Mr. TOPPING here appeared for the defendant, and it was agreed to refer 'the plaintiff's accounts to gentleman at the Bar, 'Mr. Gaselee.—Vardict:far the plaintiff, subject to a refaiwce. 'A • l
