At the sitting of the Court this morning the LoaD CHANCELLOR gave ju dgment in these CUSS. They were informations filed by Attorney.Ctenettal ; the first prayer of which was fix the'Court to decide whether ft was the in. tendon of the first founder of the free school at Hastings that it ehould be a grammar school only. It also prayed that an account might be taken of all the property belonging to the foundations that an injunction might issue to restrain the trustees from granting any new leases; that an account of all the rents and profits that had been received by them might be rendered t and, lastly, that a reference should be directed to the Master to inquire into, and approve of, a plan for the future government of the charity. The LORD CHANCELLOR, after recapitulating the facts of the case, and its history during its progress through Chan cery, now more than thirty years, the original bill being filed in 1800, said that that part of the bill that prayed for an injunction must be refused. The Court had no power to restrain trustees from performing their trust, unless they had committed some wrong, through negligence or fraud, and no such allegation was in this case attempted to be made. The most important point, however, was, whether the school was intended by its founder to be • grammar school only, in the true sense of that term ? booking at the terms of the origi. nal endowment, extractsof which his Lordship read, and which was executed in the year 11567, he said that he was most decidedly of opinion, that it was not the intention of the founder that it should ' be a grammar school only, and as the principal object of these informations was to procure a decision of that Court that it was a grammar school, the informations must be dismissed with costs. ASHBY DE.LA.ZOUCH CHARITY SCHOOL. This matter was disposed of in judgment as far as the questions raised at the bar were concerned. There were several informations. Dr. Curtis, the schoolmaster, was the relator in the main proceeding. His information tabled the principal question, which was, whether the school was to be considered, strictly and technically, a free grammar school, a school in which the classics alone were to be taught, or whether English, writing and ciphering. were to be taught in it as well as the classics. If the decision were in favour of the restricted construction—among other consequences that would follow would be the reversal of an order made so long ago as the year 1806, which affirmed a re. poet made by Master Stanley. The school was founded in the fourteenth century by Earl Huntingdon ; and upon look ing at the instrument upon which it was founded (and which was to be taken as its governing charter) as well as at the statutes, &c. affecting the school, his Lordship had not the slightest doubt that it was consistent with the original inten tion that English, writing, and arithmetic should be taught in the school, as well as the classics, and that the =gets had acted properly In Introducing the teaching of those in ferior branches of education. This conclusion induced the Court to dismiss this information, and with obits as against the master; but, as regarded the costs, his Lordship, on a suggestion from the liar, subsequently consented to look agaM into some of the papers.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, *lux* 1. PARISH APPRINTICRS. _'PHI LINO V. HILLS AND COURTSNAY. Mr. CaurisELL showed cause against a rule obtained by the Attorney-General.- calling on Mr. Mills and Mr. Cour. tenay, two of the Justices of Essex, by mandamus, to de termine whether they had any valid ground of objection to the allowance of certain indentures, for binding three poor boys apprentices to fishermen. The boys were paupers in three united parishes in Suffolk, and the Essex Magistrates ob. jetted to bind them to mariners in a parish in Essex, upon a representation made by the bases parish °Seen at a petty sessions held In Colchester, that such binding increased pa. rochial settlements, and the Essex fishermen might have boys out of their own parish. By the 66th of George 111. the justices have a discretion to exercise in allowing pauper boys to be bound apprentices, and the question was, whether they had properly exercised that thsmtion in the present instance. The affidavits of Mr. Mills and Mr. Courtenay stated the before themthe Petty Passions, and that they eM me ee di n s : gas to a conclusion that they ought not to allow the said indentures. Their determination was founded upon the information of the Eases parish officers; and after some ar gument, Lord Tsarinas)! said—lt appears to me, under this Act of Parliament, that the Justices of the County into which it is proposed to bind parish apprentices, have a ge neral discretion, to decide whether the binding shall or shall not take place.

Mr. Couxx. in Me address to the Court, remarked upon the improbabilities of the insolvent's story as to the advance , of money by Miss Thompson, and contended that he had I fraudulently charged his property to the amount of 4001. if in reality there was any deed in existence, which be ♦ery much doubted. Mr. WooDROP'S replied. He said he had endeavoured to prevail on the female to give up the deed, but she said she would sooner part with life. The learned gentleman pro. ceded to argue with a great deal of ingenuity, that the deed was given by the insolvent to Miss Thompson, by way of reconvenes for past favours; and a deed given under such citcum►tances, the Court of Chancery, he said, invariably confirmed. He contended that none of the opposing credi tors, except Colonel Lynn, had a right to appear, foe he had proved them guilty of usury. The Court said they must see the annuity deed, and ad journed the case from Saturday to this day for Its pro duction. To-day the insolvent again came up, when Mr. Cooke appeared as before ; but Mr. Creswell stated that be had received no further instructions. & Pat Keegan, of the parish of Street, fractured in the left thigh. Would not submit to amputation—died on Si. tunlay. 9. Bryan Mahon, wounded in the left groin : the ball pawed through the abdomen. The nine here enumerated are the person- who have died. The following are dime who are now in the hospital : 10. John Hughes, of Beatty, left arm fractured; cue doubtful. 11. Patrick Ledwith, left leg fractured in several places; case hopeless. 1•L Tom Keirman, wounded in the left temple; case hopeless. 13. Christopher Savage, wounded in the left arm; wW moor. On the pan of the Insolvent, it was stated that Mr. Cross, solicitor, of Surrey-street, Strand, refused to pro duce the annuity-deed, having a lien upon it.; 'Toe carp then stood over for a short time, in otder that the deed might be produced, if possible. When it was again called on, 14. Edmond M`Loughlin, wounded in the right arm ; not mentally. 13. Peggy Leary, wounded behind the left scapula ; the ball has not been extracted ; cue doubtful. 16. Thomas Divine, received two gun shot wounds; cue hopeless. 17. Thomas Butler, wounded in the arm. _ _ _ Mr. Vioomorrt said that Miss Thompson had got the deed into her possession, and refused to produce it. Happily, however, for the ends of justice, it bad not been entoiled ; consequently the Creditors could prevent her obtaining the money fur which it bad been given. Mr. Coors said there was • strong presumption of the non-existence of the deed, or at least for the execution et it by the insolvent in prison. Mr. Thomas Jepson was then examined. He stated that he bad never seen the insolvent before this day. He had had many bill transactions with Richardson, who he was not aware until now, bad been twice a bankrupt, or had twice taken the benefit of the Act. He did not discount bills, but he gave Richardson the difference it, money when be made purchases of him. lie had sold Richardson two pictures, and cashed on the same days that he sold them two bills of exchange accepted by the insolvent, but he could not state from mammy whether the pictures were given in part consi deration fur the balls s he should say they were nut so given from the entries in his books. On the day after this melancholy and frightful outrage. Mr. John Gary, solicitor, was brought down on the pan 0 the prosecution, in order to see that strictjustice should be adhered to in the course of the examination of witnesses during the inquisition. At the instance of Messrs. Pollard and Deese, and some other Magistrates, the Solicitor-General came down from Dublin, accompanied by Major Tandy, to inquire Into the facts relating to the case, and some idea was entertained that he would be armed with the powers of a special commission to try at once the case upn its merits, and being the mur derers, if such they should turn out to be, to speedy justice. But the object of Mr. Crampton', attendance, it seems, was for the purpose of receiving testimony from all those who could give any account of the transaction. On Tuesday an inquiry was commenced before the Co mer, and continued until Saturday afternoon. A great many witnesses were examined, who deposed to seeing dif ferent individuals shot, and identified a number of the police who' shot at them. Many of the witnesses stated that Assn was no riot at the time; while others swore that per sons were throwing stones at the police—among the ter was Arthur Bushe E.q. the eon of the Lord Chief Justice. There had been rioting at the fair amongst the people ; but It had ceased four minutes before the firing. One of the witnesses stated, that after firing the first or second round, the police stopped for a minute or two, and then the chief cried out, in a loud voice, to load and fire, and not spare either man, woman, or child. The Coroner having charged the Jury, they redred, and, after deliberating for neatly three hours, they returned a verdict, that Patrick Dignant was killed by a gun-shot wound, inflicted by Sergeant Mille, and that John Siesta, , and Mary Keenan were killed in the same way by Sergeant Mairs and John Todd ; and that the other persons demand lost their lives in a similar manner by a pony of police, IS of whom have been identified, with Chief Constable Blake at their head, aiding and assisting. The following are their names : Peter Blake. chief; James Mills. Sergeant Malts, Jahr. Todd, Court Ferguson, Samuel Hall. Robert Sher wood, Slade Wilson. Thomas Patk.r. Robert Gardener, George Lynam, William Brennan. Thomas (Allard, Robert Codd, Thomas Hobson, John Costelloe, Sergeant Campbell, and Thomas Rigney. In the eveni-g the lot policemen were sent to Mellinger gaol under a military escort. On Friday the Solicitor. Ge. neral received the last of the informations tendered to him, and on preparing for hie departure for Dublin, he expressed , himself in terms of the strongest approbation of the praise. I worthy conduct of the Rev. Mr. Burke and Rev. Mr. Levy; he said he was of opini n that the peace and good I order of that part of the country were in a great measure due to their inflect:cc and ' , tertian% amongst the people.. He declared to the Rev. Mr. O'Dotiogh, that the people might rest t.atisfied, that the uric justice would be done, and that it was the intention of Government to sift the afhir to the bottom, arid to have the real offenders posisbed. He gave the 'need of his appr.tbation to the magistrates who attent'ed duribg the Wiriest. but in par icular to Mr. Deese, whose attention and anxiety to have the witnesses fairly ee -1 .mined during the inquisition were hevmid all praise. The Cater C•NNISSIOSIIII proceeded to pronounce the judgment of the Court. Having observed that the evidence adduced today for the purpose of proving Mr. Jepson a meritorious creditor, bad, in his opinion, been any thing but satisfactory, he said, the main question in the case turned upon the annuity deed, alleged to have been exc.' cuted to Mary Ann Thompson, under circumstances which were sufficiently obvious. He did r.oe think that the opposing creditors, with the exception of Colonel Lyster, were of a meritorious character ; tor, on the rawer hearing, Mr. Gillett was put forward to rebut the insolvent's testimony, instead of which be confirmed it; the Court, there. fore, considered that the observations made by the Learned Counrel, who so ably supported the insolvent, were not mis applied. To day Mr. Jepson had been produced, who, it appeared, had a very treacherous memory, for be recol lected scarcel any thing distinctly, and attached all the blame to R ichardson. The insolvent, it was evident, had led a life of great extravagance, had lived with this female, as had been proved, and was still liv ing with her. He had not dared to produce either her or the deed, and whether that deed relsted at all was extremely doubtful, as also that be ever received the money stated to have been given as the considtration for it. As staining that the money had been advanced, and that a deed really existed, which was *woe., to be the fact by the insul vent, what, then, was the aspect of the ease 7 Why, that the deed had been made in favour of one particular creditor, to the great detriment of the rest. There were nut many de. serving creditors, and in r.ensequence the Court would not remand the insolvent for so long a period as they should, were it otherwise. The learned Commissioner then sen tenced the insolvent to eight calendar months' imprisonment for fraudulently charging his property.
