under controul. The allegation set up a case of con apiracy between Sir John Tyrell and a housekeeper of the.deceased, named J ire Bayles, who it was alleged held him under controul. It also alleged that Sir John' Tyrell had knowingly omitted certain property left by the deceased in the inventory sworn to by him as exe cutor, and in other respects had given false te•timmiy. It.mot cover alleged a variety of circumstances tending to show the imbecility, or rather insanity of the deceased, , such a; dancing in the open street (at the age of 82); using a parasol as if it were a fiddle ; conducting him- self in a manner unbecoming the char.scter of a clergy- I man ; drinking gin at public houses in company with his housekeeper ; m .king use of the most indelicate lan gtiage, &c. Upon one occasion he obta'ned permission to preach at Run well church; he invited a number of persons from B 1;e: icay to go• thither with music to accompany the psalms,and in his sermon used language so gross that the congregation was disgusted. Dr. PIIILLIMORE objected to the admission of the allegations, on the ground that they were vague, dif fuse, and frivolous. He contended that many of them were introduced with a very improper spirit, and showed the character of the opposition to the will. D. LUSHINGTOW said,. that the case set up by him was this—absence of testamentary capacity, deranged intellect, controul, andel:indolent conduct ; and in such cases, however frivolous some of the circumstances might appear, it was the combined weight of them which inclined the decision of the Court. Sir J. Nrcuot.t. said, that in all cases where fraud and circumvention were charged as employed towards a testator of weak and impaired capacity, the Court was anxious to give as full a scope as possible to the admis sion of the details; it could not, in this stage, decide what were and what were not necessary. He should, therefore, admit the allegation next Court-day, referring it to Counsel, in the meanwhile. to compress it still more if possit.le. COLVIN AGAINST FRASER AND OTHERS. MR. FARQUHAR'S WILL.

He then gave witness a sovereign, which he showed to his mother, and which, on it. being given to a neighbour to be changed, was discovered to be a coon-1 tcrteit. The sovereign, though out of his hands, was never out of his sight ; his father marked it, and gave it to Mr. Howley, the Headborough ; that which was now produced was the same. This witnew's testimony was corroborated by two persons, and on this case he was fully committed for the misdemeanour. The other charges preferred were by Mrs. Chandler, and Mrs. Fairbank, whom he had swindled out of their money, and property ; but as their charges were similar to the last, it is uuuecessary to re. peat them.
