• • . 1, LAW INTELLIGENCIL VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Jens U. LUSHINOTON R. SIWRLL. In this case, which has been segued at great length before his amour, the plaintiff, Lady Leshington, filed a bill with a view to determine the rights of parties un der the will of the late Mr. Lewis, a wealthy West India planter, whose " estates lay in'the Island of Jamaica.— Tht Testator left, by his will, the whole of his real and personal estates to his two sisters, Lady Lushlngton and Mrs. Sheddon. To the former he willed his estate, called Cornwall, situated in the above island, for her life, and after her demise eo her children, subject, how ever, to a mortgage of 24,0001. and to the latter, his younger sister, Mrs. Sheddon, he left the moiety of ano ther estate, called cflordley, situated also in Jamaica, and at her death to her children. Both Ladles were made joint residuary legatees, of his personal property, and the estates to which Obey were separately entitled were subjected to an annuity of 1,0001. a year, payable to the testator's mother. By a codicil attached to the will, it was directed that the persons who should suc ceed to the inheritance of the testator's estates mast reside upon them for three months in every year, with a view to the protection of the [regrets on the estates, and the amelioration of their condition, the testator ho' inanely wishing that his negroes should not be sub jected to the power of an attorney. If • woman were to inherit, then the testator directed that she must either go herself to reside upon the estate, or send her hus band, child, or some other relative to represent her,' unless in case of dangerous illness, rebellion in the island, or some unforeseen event. The testator di rected further, that this condition should be fulfilled in one year from his demise; but if this com pliance were neglected or prevented, the condition muse be fulfilled in the year following; and if three years elapsed without the condition being •complied with, then the estate should be forfeited to the neat heir who was willing to comply with the said condition; and if no person could be found to take the estates according to the terms of the codicil, they were to be held in trust by the Lord Chancellor for the time being, until an heir was found willing to comply with the tes tator's wish ; and, in order that in the mean while the negroes should be protected and taken care of, the tes tator empowered the Lord Chancellor to appoint a proper person to live on the plantations, with a view personally to superintend the condition of the sliseatt and the testator expressed a hope that " no base gawk quibble, or technical objection should defeat his inten tions;" and if, unfortunately, such should be the fact, and any person held the property without performing the conditions stated, then, the testator went to say, " such person should be branded as a robber," and be " hoped that the estates would never prosper in the hands of him or her, or in those of the children of such person." The testator added, that be was the more anxious to express his determination onthis point, having heard from a lawyer that it was probable his intention would be defeated by some legal objection, which hap pened to be exactly the case; for both Lady Lushington and her sister, on -the death of the testator, objected to comply with the desire expressed in the will, which, in fact, was void in law, because it imposed conditions by which a perpetuity could not be bound. The Vaca-CHANCELLOR having at great length heard the statements of the several Counsel engaged in the cause for vat iotas parties interested in its result, said that he did not think he was called upon at present to offer• any observations with respect cache condition in the will to which the attention of the Court had been drawn, ne. question having been raised upon it; and it would be time enough to consider its validity when the estates were claimed under that condition. With respect to the other parts of the case, viz. the respective right of the parties inheriting ander the will, his Honour said be should give judgment when he had read over thepapers co .nected with them. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, has sta. THE MOO V. JONES. Mr. GURNEY sheared cause against a Rule Nisi, ob tained by the Attorney-General on behalf of the Com missioners of the Insolvent Debtors Court, for a crimi nal information against the defendant, who is the Marshal of the King's Bench prison, for a libel in a paragraph written by the defendant, entitled—" Ob., &creations on the Insolvent Debtors' Act, miscalled an Act for the Relief of Insolvent Debtors." The libel accused the Commissioners of sanctioning the officers of the Court in taking exorbitant fees. Mr. Gurney said, that the information which had induced his client to write the libel had been given to the defendant by a person who had for many years practised as an agent an the Ins , leent Debtors Court, and from the opportu nities for observation enjoyed by that person, his client had been induced to believe that what he bad been told was true, although he had since found the contrary was, the case. He was therefore desirous to acknowledge tbat the charges be had made against the Commissioners were totally without real foundation, and to espress his regret that he had ever made them. He had not been influenced by any motive of disparaging the Cesisnais sioners, with two of whom he had been on intimate terms for the last twenty years, but had been entirely misled by the information he had received. No corn plaint of the pamphlet had been made before the notice of application to the Cour t. Had there been any,he would have earlier made inquiries into the truth of the statement that had misled him, and be would have stopped the sale of the pamphlet, which, however, he did immedi rely that he became acquainted with the true nature of the account he had received. Mr. Gurney hoped that the Attorney-General would, after this full acknow ledgment and apology, consider that the object of the Commissioners had been obtained, and that he would consent to let the rule be discharged upon his client's paying the costs. The ATTORNST•GENERAL said that the only object of the Commissioners was the vindication of their honour. They would have passed over the imputations cast upon them and their officers, as slanders unworthy of their notice, if they had not proceeded from a Gentleman of the defendant's respectability •and situation. It gave him, the Attorney-General, personally great pleasure, as a friend of Mr. Jones, to say that, after the handsome manner in which Mr. Gurney had come forward, the defendant had, in his opinion, sufficiently atoned for the error into which be had been misled; and be was sure the Commissioners would be much more satisfied with the apology that had been so properly made, than with, any result that might have attended the prosecution. Rule for the information discharged, on payment of costs by the defendant. Tut KING AOAINST JOHAN BIRNANDO DA ROTCHA. The defendant, who was found guilty on his trial at Guildhall, before Lord Teitterden, so long ago as at i the sittings after Trinity Term, 1825, upon a criminal Information, charilng him with having published, hi November, 1824, in a peeiodical work, called El Ports gen, a libel upon the Marquis de Palmell4, the Por. tuguese Minister, appeared to receive the judgment of the Court, which was moved against him by Mr.l3notro HAM, who said, that the defendant was brought up tol judgment in the Michaelmas Term that followed bia and that he had, from the forbearance and huma nity Odle prosecutor, been discharged, upon his entering into his own recognizance to come up and receive the judgment of the Court when called upon. The Noble prosecutor had hoped, that there would not have been any necessity of enforcing this recognizance, but the defendant had thought fit to write and publish ether atrocious libels against him ; and he now felt that it was not possible for him any longer to abstain from calling upon the Court to pronounce their judgment against the defendant upon the libel of which he bad been convicted. _ _ Lord TINTIRDtN read the report of the trial, by which it appeared that in a number of El Poriuguex, published in November, 1824, it was stated that the Marquis had received from this Government a sum of flo",00td. being the amount agreed upon by the Portuguese and British Govprnment for the share of what the Portuguese army were entitled to out of the spoils taken from the French by the allied army under the command of the Duke of Wellington ' in the Peninsular war, and that he had not distributed this sum amongst the Portuguese army, or remitted it to Portugal for that purpose, but had divided it amongst himself and two of the Portuguese Ministry, and that they had appropriated the whole sum to their own use. At the time this was published, themoney, which had been invested in Exchequer Bills, had never reached the hands of the Marquis, but was in the Bank, where it remained until December, 1825. • I An affidavit in aggravation+ was put in, but Mr. Brougham said that the affidavit was very long, and set out sev sal atrocious libels upon the prosecutor, which the defendant had written since he had entered intohis own recognizance, but that he would not occupy the time of the Court in having it read, as the libel of which he had been convicted was of so gross and atrocious a nature as to preclude the necessity of setting forth any i sobeequent libels in aggravation. The COMMON SERGEANT, for the defendant, in miti ation, said that he m ould not attempt to offer any pal- Iffistion for the libel upon the distinguished-person who done himself so much honour by the mode in which be had conducted the prosecution ; but he would beg to submit to the Court the situation of the defendant, who was a scholar, a literary man, and a.member of his own profession, who bad been exiled froin his coin; try for political reasons, and who was in a state so for; loin as to call for compassion, deriving his entire sup port from the sale of the Poring:ter, the circulation of which was very limited. and the profits, if any, were very small, and he hoped the Court would, in their sets. toner feel some commiseration for the condition of the defendant, and extend to him their astral humanity. Mr. BROUGHAM, in aggravation, sa;d his Learned Friend had adopted for but client the best course, in ab staining from the mefess attempt of offering any pallia tion for his conduct, and in merely recommending him to the merciful consideration of the Court; but it was his duty to press upon their Lordships the atro city of the libel, which did not consist of mere vague and general abuse, but accused the Marquis in the most specific manner, and without the slightest founda.l Lion, of a charge which, if believed, would not only' ', have brought upon him the contempt of every hooesel man in every part of the world, bee would have Ivel4 bins up to the hatted of his own country, and particuwi lady of the soldiery, by whom be would run the risk rfi being torn to pieces, as a man who had defrauded them of the reward obtained by their valour, peril r and caws- Mr. Justice BAYLEY passed the sentence of the Court. The libel imputed to an individual who held a distin guished situation in this country, and had a high cha racter in his own, the greatest degree of baseness, and was particularly calculated to excite against him the indignation of the Portuguese army. No man had a right to cast a heavy imputation upon another without being thoroughly satisfied of its truth ; but there was not the slightest foundation IA this charge, than which no thing could be mare likely to raise, among all who be lieved it, the deecest indignation; for the money he was so accused of appropriating, and which had been earned with the blood and at the peril of the Portuguese army, had never reached his hands. It was due to the protection that this country had be.towed open the defendant that he should have abstained from a breach of its laws. The Court lamented that he had placed himself in his present situation, and it also lamented that, instead of having endeavoured to atone for his offence, he had, after the humane conduct of the prosecutor, persisted in the same course of attack ; but it also felt that he must be taught rat he cannot do that with impunity which, for his own sake, and out of duty to this country, he ought to have abstained hom doing at all. The sentence of the Court was, that he be imprisoned one year, and give recognizances for his good behaviour for three years, himself in 4001. and two sureties for 2001. each. rug XING V. CLEvERLY, MILLS, AND MILLBURN. The Arrostitiv-Genzaat prayed the judgment of the Court upon the defendants, who had been convicted at the Middlesex Sittings after last Term, before Lord Tenterden, of having entered into a conspiracy to give to the defendant Mills, a creditor of the defendant Cle verly, and his partner, a fraudulent reference over the other just creditors of the said Cleverly and Co. in anti cipation of the bankruptcy of the said Cleverly and Co. On the part of the defendants, affidavits, stating that Mills, having afforded considerable pecuniary accom modation to the defendant Cleverly and his partner, was a bone fide creditor to the amount of 6881. and that what the defendants did was in ignorance of the law of conspiracy, and for no other purpose but to secure to the defendant Mills the repayment of the advances made by him to Cleverly and his partner. Mr. BaoccniAm having addressed the Court in mid gatien of punishment on behalf of defendant Cleverly, The CoMMoN SERGEANT addressed the Court on behalf of the other defendants, and submitted the pro priety of the defendants having an opportunity, in another place, of satisfying the creditors of the bank rupts for any loss which they might have sustained by an act done by the defendants in ignorance of the law, and without the intention of. doing wrong, as the con sequence of a judgment of this Court must be attended with the most ruinous consequences to Mr. Millburn, one of the defendants. The ATToaIsZY MINIMAL said, the prosecutors in those proceedings wale influenced by no feeling, except a wish to promote the ends of public justice, and Ise (the Attorney General) bad no objection to accede to the suggestion thrown out by his Learned Friend. Lord TINVIRDRN—Then let all the defendants be • mounded to a &tote day, in order that dies. May have time to communicate with the prosecutors. If itse parties should not come to some agreement, the defendants can be brought up again. THE WINO O. TODD AND DONNING. Mt. Gotrumaz prayed the judgment of the eourt upon the defendants, Ephraim Todd, the Master of the Workhouse In the parish of Herreden, near Birming ham, and the defendant Downing, a parishioner of Little Pockington, Warwickshire, who had been con victed of a conspiracy to procure the marriage of a pauper of the parish of Herreden, named Elizabeth Pratt, with Luke Smith. a pauper of the parish of Birming ham, for the purpose of throwing upon the parish of Birmingham the support of the bastard child kit which the said Elizabeth Pratt was then pregnant. The defendants having put in affidavits detailing the nature of their means, the number of children depend. ing upon them for support, and denying. that in what they had done, they had any knowledge that they were acting contrary to law, The COMNON S2IIOZANT and Mr. RZADItit were heard in mitigation, and Mr. Goncso ast in aggravation of punishment. Mr. Justice RATLIII pronounced the sentence of the Court, that the defendant Todd do pay to the King a fine of 251. and that the defendant Downing do pay to the King p fin, of SL COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JUNII 2s.

Wakefield, Esq. many animadversions were made on the 3coeskform of Marriage— ((Abell so called)—by which be, like a villain, (as he certainly must be) was enabled to deceive a poor simple child, into the Idea that she was his wife.—l, as a native of Scotland, feel somewhat amused at the ignorance of our Southern neighbours in regard to our marriage ceremony, &c. &c. I verily believe they suppose that the Black soli* or Ditrokr, (or whatever other tepidly honourable pro/seeks David Laing may be) is our High Priest, in the sacred comemmy el Matrimony. How, so far is it totally the reverse of this, that It is merely to ealr Brt;fisfa atigithours he officiates in that way; and sly dayshould Isle good suck marriages—Waved knows! Yet smile of the highest in the land, (in regard to birth as well as station) have con descended to accept of the services of this said l'ritss or Bishop, as be cilia haunch—and he actually performs the ceremony in the English not In the 'Scotch form, as far as words go. Why (let me ask.) do the Courts of England hold good suck marriages ? We loam nothing to do with David Laing or such like. Our mantas's are, no doubt, much more simple In form, and much mere easily solemnized than the regular English marriages. And, (let me also add) to our credit., they are muck more rarely set aside in say way ; divorce in Scotland is seldom beard of; and surely, if our kitti— es marmot law--admit of a fine family of children being legititsra tined• by a posterior ceremony, on the parents declaring that they had regarded each other as married persons—though circumstances may have prevented the rite taking place publicly—it is sorely much more en the side of Christian 'charity and humanity, sad modem/re for the happioess and comfort of each member of the family, than. that &Maio,' from wbkb men fatal consequences arose, as the bar tereirisla so =ay of the late Earl and Countess. of Berkeley's chil dren, and many others in similar circumstances. Nevertheless, let me assure our Kaglish neighbours, that such irregular marri ages are seldom legalized in Scotland without a reprimand from the Kirk, and a solemn admonition from our Clergy. In the higher and middling classes, such things are seldom beard of—not ene-fiftieth part so frequently as the Gretna Green marriages of English par. cite. Our Clergy have nothing to do with David Laing. He M aoism not with their (loch—and why should the English Courts Meths Sock mockery ? Were Eagiisia marriages less bunimaed legal forma and legal fees, David Laing would have muck less to dea,sail would ere long sink intro oblivion. Ohe rite of marriage is most simple and impressive when admi. ollmered by our worthy Pastern. And surely it is mask to hemr levee en krrgviar marriage being too praeticalik.does a rue alumnae Wogs may thereby &aria a right and this to parental case, instead of being stigmatized as bastards, according to the English law. In 1 the lower rank of life, a poor unfortunate young couple may have formed a strong erection tor each other, though without the catmint st persona—or mass ether obstacle may have prevented their public union—a child may be boon—and this probably decides the father to own a private marriage. The couple go before the Parish Minis. ter, and declare they are willing to submit to what be pleases. He theta pronounces them married persons, with much good advice, and a solemn prayer for a' blessing on the peakent milk. No doubt such privileges may frequesely be abused; but when they are, it is commonly by English said Irish vagrants, who too easily get parish rights in Scotland. Fortunate in this, and many other instances, will It be for Scotland if our active Member, Mr. T. Kennedy's proposal, be carded into 'Stet, of rendering a gm yea' residence necessary, before a stranger cm become a parishioner.... From the acknowledged ignorance of the English regarding Seco tish law. sod customs in general, it may be not altogether useless to inform them, that previous to all reguiar osswiages, Maas are pub lished three times its our parish harks. All other marriages are saaactuta a, though In many instances, mercy assists justice M pro. mewing them soy at coat.. I than conclude with humbly, bat Wreinsottsly recommending, that no Gretna Green or other such marriage should be held legal in &OLAND; at the same tine giving more freedom to the kid Begird form—hut that such laws should not be retrospective.
