LAW IMELLIGESCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, DECEMBER 6. WILLIAMs v. !STEM AND THE COMMISSIONERS OF THE LAND TAX. The Loan Cu/.Nnem..nt g .ve an ilahorate judg ment in this Cast? It will be recf , llected it came be fore his Honour the Vice•Chancell r, in the shape of a demurrer to to e plaintiffs bill, on account of the Court hot having jurisdiction. The hill prayed for the specific performance of a contract which the plain tiff alleged he had made with the defendants, the Commis.ioaers of Land Tax, for the purchase of certain laud taxes in the Borough of Weymouth, and his honour allowed the demurrer. The plaintiff appealed to the Lord Chancellor against that decision, and his I....rdship, in giving his judgment this day, allowed the demurrer, confirming the judgment of his Honour. His Lordship held that the Commis• sioners were servants of the Crown, and merely in-! struments to carry into effect part of a contract which was cohdi...t.xf by other officers of the Crown, and were therefore not respor.s.ble as a body.—Demurrer confirmed. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, DECSMBER 6. Till SING w. LEMURS. Mr. E. LAvilti.—" May it please your Lordship.— Gentlemen of the Jury—This is a prosecution by John Grettoa, 4gainst George Leyburn, for perjury. My instructions in this case are very specific, and I am inclined to follow there, by reading them in their very words:-1 am instructed by the prosecutor to state, that, feeling himself unable to bring forward such evidence es would lead to conviction of Mr. Leyburn, has declined btinging forward any wit nesses, and Mr. Ley burn may be honoured& acquitted!' Mr. SCARLETT.—" I appear for the defendant, my Lord." The Jury immediately pronounced the defendant " Net Guikp." TICE MO v. TIPLIAS CABLE. Mr. Cunwoon stated, that this was an indictment for perjury, preferred against the defendant by Tho mas Washington, a silk dealer, under the following circumstances In 1816, a person named Millar, a dealer in silk, was robbed of a considerable quantity of that commodity ; a person named Bagster was af ters. irds apprehended, Hied, and convicted, for the rubbery; some silk, vlleged to be part of the stolen property, was afterwards found en Thomas Washing ton's premises, under circumstances which causedl h m to be held to trial. Pending the trial, the pre.' sent defendant cailed on Washington, and told him if he would give him ASUO, he (Gable-) would take care no harm should come to hint. Washington wrote .t letter to his wife, desiring her to let Gable " Lave 4.:00. Mrs. Washington got together f 250, wLic.J, she wok to the defendant. She was accompa sited by 1 er brother-it: 1.. w (Allan Washington), but Cable w"uld hold no conversation with her till Allan Washington withdrew, when he received the 4450. The prosecute r as afterwards tried and acquitted, ard soon alter applied to Gable to have Ibis money b•ick ; at this time another brother of the prosecutor was with him, but Gable insisted upon it he should withdraw. This was c•implied with, and Gable then repaid .elOO, at the same time observing that the • prosecutor might as well give bins a receipt fOr £lOO. paid in pirt, and tendeted what the prosecutor sup posed to he such a receipt as be described. Under that suppos•tion the prosecutor signed it; but after wdr.4, on applyin:4 further payment, his receipt 1 in full feu one pound was produced, signed by him, ilstead ill a tecopt for £ll,O in part, as he had sup- U; on this discovery of the imposition put upon him, the prosecutor tiled his bill in equity in the E . ch q'ver ; to which the defendant put in his an- ass,l upon that ahswer the perjury was assigned, namely, the defendant having there sworn that the • receipt for one pound in full of all demands was en tirely in the hand-writing of the prosecutor. This receipt was in the possession of the defendant. The; production of it would prove decisive of the cause, 11 as it would prove itself either to be, or Hot to be, the band-writing of the prosecutor. The bill and answer were then put in and read. Thomas Washington stated that he tea; a ribband weaver, residing in Thomas -street, Bethnal Green. The defendant was a silk weaver. Witness was in prison 4n 1816; whilst there, he advanced some mo. ney to the defendant; after his discharge he applied to have it back; on that occasion he gave a receipt; be did not think be was signing a receipt for 41 in full of all demands ; did not examine the stamp ; to the best of his recollection, he did not write the whole of the receipt.—trhe receipt was here Landed to the witness.) —The signature was his ; he thought the words received the 20th April," were his writing ; 1 bu; did not think the words'. of Thomas Gable, it:l •in full of all demands," were his writing; he did not think they were. Lord ELLnivninsotron told him it was necessary he should say positively whether he had written the whole or not, which He must know. The witness again said be did not think the words be bad mentioned were his. Lord EL.1.5N11.,1100314 asked, if on this evidence shegounsel to the Prosecution would proceed further? Mr. Gur_sav said, be had a dr zen of witnesses who would swear to the whole being the prosecutor's band-writing. • Mr. CURWOOD Aaid, on this evidence he would not press for a verdict of guilty.—The Jury immediately tuand the defendant—Not Guilty. DOC ibit.s* COMMONS. - C. UAMILTON, MACIA itsBeCCA lIAMILTON. This was a proceeding in pceaarn against the wife far adultery with Lieutenant Knight, of the Royal Navy, she not having appeared to the suit. .Alter re citing various affidavits in proof of the facts con tained in the libel, Dr. Swabey prayed semence. Sir WILLIAM Sc )71. observed, the marriage in this Case was proved, and also that the parties afterwards - cohabited and lived together as man and wife. The hoaband, it appeared, went to Jamaica on his private shies in 1811, and resided there for several years.— During his absence his wife resided in Kent, with Lieutenant Knight, by whom, it was proved, she Was afterwards delivered of a child, in a cottage in Hampshire, they both passing under the name of Mr. and Mrs. de Bare; and living - and cohabiting loge tber as man and wile. The proof connected itself with the identity of the parties, which established the fact, that Mrs. de Bate was Ms. Hamilton's wife; —Chatlotte Newnian, Cu:ity—Death; ark! atom. Mansfield, Not Guilty. J. Hetars, for stealing several articles of wearing apparel, the property of Fred. J. Reader, was also capitally convicted. Davi: was capitally indicted for stealing in the dweLing house of Mr. W. Blundell, of Gracechurch. street, a quantity of nankeen, and other articles.— The pris mer had lived in the service of the prosecu tor for two years, during which time quantities of property were missing. At length, suspicion falling upon him, his chest was watched, and various ar ticles, the goods of the prosecutor, found. The CoNIMON SERJEANT informed the Jury, that the capital part of the charge could not be sustained, inasmuch as it was not proved that he had at any one time stolen property to the amount of 40s. The punishment, however, was transportable to the ut- most ester t.—'rhe Jury found him guilty of stealing to the •aloe of 39,. _ _ The prosecutor instantly stepped forward to N un-mend the young man to mercy. He did so upon 4 conviction that he had not formed any improper conntction with thieves or other bad characters ; nor did he even attribute the depredations he had com mitted to inherent ♦ice itself. He attributed them solely to another though extraordinary cause—no less than gluttony. The prisoner was in fact the most immoderate glutton he ever knew ; the meals he eat weie incredible as to quantity. and these would not suffice, for after taking breakfast amine in the mor ning, he never ceased masticating until dinner—in fut. he was every minute gormandizing, while money or any other means could procure victuals. To the gratification of this inordinate appetite, he attributed ihe robberies of which he had been accused.- r Th:s story, which nazi' an extraordinary sensation in the Court, was not a little heightened by the appear ance or the prisoner, who was as Ican AS the halt valved apothecary in Rome and Juliet. The COMMON Sfuttamirr said. me recommendation of the prosecutor (extraordinary as the circumstanot was from which it arose) should be attended to. The following were convicted of felonies :—R. Clark, fur stealing fourteen pounds of bacon ; J. Kemp, for having forged notes in his possession ;- H. Hughes, for stealing a_ watch ; W. Budd, cur stealing a quantity of ribbon, a straw bonnet, &c. and William Bartlett, and J. Cane, for stealing a quan tity of timber. We have already stated that carp Pearson and Jlho rartis, for forgery, and Thomas Deahry, for highway rubbery, are to be executed •)n . l'hursday next at the Old Bailey. They were all informed of tl.eir late on Fridty night, after the Recorder had made his Report to the Prince Regent. Dealtry stated that if hc'wete hung his blood would be spilt inno• cently—he asserted with the greatest solemnity, that the men who committed the robberies for which he WAS about to suffer were now in Newgate, and ii he Were allowed he could tnnst incontestihly prove it.— lie acknowledged, however, that he itad been tufty of many very bad crimes. Mr. Corros said, it be was to: n;st;ed with that proof, he ought to delay no time i•s making it known, in order that the represen mien shonld be forwarded to its proper authority. The unfortunate men were all resigned to their fate yesterd3y, when a condemned Sermon w a s reached to them. and it Was further to be collected, that this person, who passed as Mr. de Bare, was not the husband, party in the cause, but one who passed as such, being in reality a person who was known to be Lieutenant Knight. It was evidence 'efficient that Mr. Ha. snilton could not have been the father of this child which was born. It was not necessary, therefore, to Like up the attention of the Court, ny longer, but to pronounce for the divo:ce.--Sentence pronounced. SAUNDERS V. SAUNDERS. ;l • This was a suit instituted by the wife. against her husband, (an elderly man, in the situation of an overh)oker in the East India House). for restitution of conjugal rights, upon'the ground that he had se parated from her without just cause. The husband appeared before the Court, and was admitted to sue in forma isaviteris. Being mired what .he could allow his wise to live upon, he replied, that he had only £lO4 per annum, from his situ:l64n in the India House, and could allow only ss. per week. Being told by the Court he ought to allow her sure out of his salary, Defendant replied. he was £s') in debt, which he was under the necessity of lisptidating by instalments of 41 per week. Being then .pressed to take back his wife and keep her in his house, he shook his head, and answered—“ No, no, I can not dolhat, for she has already too often put me in bodily fear, by threatening to take my life."—The Court then assigned him Counsel and Proctor to conduct his defence. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. TOLLS IN COVENT-GARDEN MARKET. LOWDIN AND ANOTHER V MICRONS. This was an action of assumpsit by the lessees of Covent-garden Market, under his Grace the Duke of Bedford, to recover certain tolls alledged to be due by the defendant, a market gardener, in respect; of peas, beans, and other vegetables brought by him to the said market. There were counts fur the use and occupation of a stand for the defendant's carts and waggons, but those were abandoned, the plaintiff relying upon the counts for tolls. The question in volved in this action is of the utmost impoaance, not only to a most meritorious and numerous class of persons, namely, the market gardeners, but also to the public in general. The case of the plaintiff was conducted by Mr. Serjeant Bar, Mr. Serjeant Bno.s.serr, and Mr. Es. EINASSIij and that of the defendant by Mr. Serjeant LENS, Mr. Serjeant °snow, and Mr. Seq. Coney. The object of the action was to establish a right on tie part of the lessees to take tolls for peas and beans entering the market, after the rate of one penny her sack : the defendant insisting that the proper toll payable was 4d. for each cart, and Is. fcr each wag gon, loaded with peas or beans, no matter what num. ber of sacks the vehicles might contain. The case of the plaintiffs rested upon the demise granted to them by the Duke of Bedford for one year. at a rent of £2,900, to %%hid: demise was annexed a. schedule of tolls payable on vegetables sold in Comet.. garden market within the dtntcr stone ; nest a late Act of Parliament passed for making the tolls pay able by the sellers, and not by the buyers of vege. tables ; and, lastly, the oral evidence of a great many market-gardeners and salesmen, to.shew that the toll of one penny per sack for peas and beans ha 4 been a great many years demaudt.d, and acquiesced in by the witnesses. ?dr. Serjeant LaNa addressed the Jury on the part of the defendant at great length, and afterwards produced ancient documents trim the Parliament Rolls' Office, and then called a great number cf Witnesses, for the purpose of chewing—lst. That the right to take toils at all in Covent-garden war ex tremely doubtful, the power so to do never having been granted to the ancestors of the Duke cf Bed ford. 2d, That the right could not be upheld by any custom alfch had obtained, inasmuch as the amount of the tolls had varied from time to time, and had not !hat certainty which was required to maintain a custom ;'and, SJ, That the practice had been for a wigs of yekrs, as long as tile witnesses .could r±ernembeK to pay 4d. for a cart, and Is. for a waggon loaded with peas and beans. The sum sought to be recovered by this action was Eld. for two carts, the defendant having tendered that sum to the Col. lector, tut had not pleaded the tender. Mr. Serjeant Brat, in the course of Mr. Serjeant Lenses address; discleim'ed any privity on the part of the Duke of Bedford to this action, and denied that he was instructed to appear for his Grace. Mr. Justice PARK, before the defendant's case was concluded, intimated a strong doubt whether the plaintiffs could recover a verdict even for bid. because he was clearly satisfied that no legal title had beer made out to take tolls at ail, and therefore he re commended that a Juror should. be tea:lir:awe. in order that the question as to the legality cf the tiOrt assumed by the Duke Of .B if. rd might not be pre judiced by a verdict to wtaz!) he was no pal ty. Mr. Serjeant BEST eXprVieti his determination to go to the Jury for 84. insisting, that inasmuch as the i defendant had not pl ea d e d a ten d er , h e could net re - I sist the verdict fur that sum. Mr. Justice l'aust acquiesced in the strictness of the Learned Serkant's nhj ction, and directed the Jury to find a verdict for the plaintiffs tor Sd. but gave the defendant liberty to m , .ve to enter a nonsuit. The Jury. accordingly f, uni a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, Eight-pence ; and chits, by this decision, it is now settled that the lessees of the tells have no right to charge Id. for the sack r'f peas and beans, but that the proper mode, in all events, Is only to charge 4d. for each cart, and Is. for each waggon load. We have given accounts of Geo►ge Chemull. juninr, of Godalming, and William and George Choler fl, hi. associates, being committed to liwsemonger-lane gaol, up. , n suspicion of having committed two mur ders ; clue of old Mr. Chennell and his housekeeper, at Godalming; and the other, previously, of a man named Searson, within a quarter of a mile of Peters. field. Since the committal of the above prisoners, 'another investigation has, at the instance of Lord Islioutirosi, been proceeded on regarding the mur der of a Mr. Stilwell, on the !ruder. of Holt Forest, Esett, in the month of June, 1816 ; and, from the evidence given, they are strongly suspected of being the perpetrators of this murder and robbery, in addi tion to the black catalogue already enumerated._ Chennell, jon. and the Chalcrofts will be tried first for the murder of George Chennell, m.o. and his housekeeper, and if the evidence should not be sufli• ciently conclusive to convict them, they will be put upon their trials either for the murder of the young man at Petersueld, or of Mr. Stilwell. John Ballow :. in the employ of Messrs. Homan, P4rdoe and Co.

Lan week the yards of the Rev. R. N. RAMPS, of Drayton. in Net-folk, were robbed of all his poultry; sad on Wednesday a yard at Costessey was plunder ed of twenty-five fowls.

He was adjudged to pay £lO, and not being able to do so, he was committed for 14 days.
