LAW INTELLIGENCE COURT OF CHANCERY, AUGUST 6. TIIB HON. NEWTON FELLOWV V. TILE EARL OF PORTS dOUTH, AND JOHN HANSON, ESQ. ONE OF THE TRUSTEES OP IHE PORTSMOUTH ESTATES. The LORD CHANCELLOR.—" I have read the papers in this case, and it is my intention to draw up a spe cial order and hand it to the Bar ; and if they have any observations to make on it I will hear them. On looking into the defendant Hanson's answer, the trust deed must be considered valid until set aside by a decree. If Lord Portsmouth thought' proper to com mit himself and property by executing this trust deed, it is the duty of the Court to enforce its being carried into effect by the trustees. It strikes me that I must call on Lord Grantley, and Mr. Justice Best, if he is a trustee, to put in their answers forthwith to the bill of Lord Portsmouth, and the defendant Hanson shall forthwith deliver his account against Lord Ports mouth to the other trustees, and I shall take care that the trustees shall only act as such, and that by _communicating together, and if they act without so communicating, it must be at their peril. I will hand in my order to the Bar in the course of a day or two." ,~. pills, which, having no effect, I then gave her half an ounce of Epsom salts ; but, on the Wednesday, she was in such a dangerous state, that r sent for Seagrim, and Mr. Ives, the apothecary ; they arrived on Thursday, June 7. Before the deceased received the blow she was perfectlywell,better than she had been for some years; she was naturally a weakly woman, and of a bilious nature, frequently sick in the morning ; she Rad been better in health for several months than usual, so much so, that she spared har two daughters; who usually assisted in the house, to go on a visit, and they had been gone a week.—On the witness's cross-examination, he admitted the prisoner might have been half drunk when the blow was struck. Mr. John Ives, the apothecary, was then examined ; and he stated, that on the 7th of June, in company with Dr. Seagrim, he attended the deceased, whom he found extremely ill ; they considered her to be la bouring under inflammation in the peripaneum, the covering of the bowels; the inflammation was exces sively high, the pulse quick and high, accompanied by A constant vomiting and constipation of the bowels; there was a tumour on the left side of the bowels the size of a common tea-saucer. Ile could not take upon himself to swear that the blow given her on the neck produced the swelling on the abdomen directly ; it might be, however, a translation of the disease from the neck to that part. He examined her neck, but could not perceive any inflammation. Witness con ceived that the disease of which the deceased died, might be induced by the terror which she felt upon receiving the blow, rather than from the blow itself. Dr. Seagrim corroborated this statement, adding, that the inflammation lined the stomach and affected the membrane of the liver ; he felt it impossible to say that the blow was the direct cause of her death, but if the disease was previously existing, there could be no doubt but the blow would aggravate the complaint. Mr. Henry Coates, a surgeon of great skill, and 23 years practice, residing at Salisbury, was then called for the risoner. He stated that he had heard the evidence, and was of opinion that a blow similar to that which had been described, certainly would not produce the death of any person. The Jury directly returned a verdict of Not Guilty. ctir.t.msrOttn, AUGUST 7. The Summer Assizes for this County commenced here to-day, before the 1-lon Mr. Baron Wool), in , the Crown Court, and the lion. Mr. Justice BIM nouGH, in the Civil Court. In the former Court the Calendar contains 58 cases only; and in the latter, the entry of causes amounts to but 16, a number infinitely less than has been known for many years at the Assizes fur this County. CIVIL mar_ CARROLL v NELSON AND ANOTHER. This was an action on the case against the de fendants, who are proprietors of " The Times" light coach from Colchester to London, for the negligent driving of their servant, whereby the coach was up set, and the plaintiff, an outside passenger, had one of his legs broken, and t're ancle of the same leg ' dislocated. A case of grins negligence was opened on the part of the plaintiff, but the facts proved were these :—The plaintiff, who is a carpenter by business, residing at Bethnal-green, had taken an outside place on " 7he Times" coach, on the 29th of December last at Colchester, for the purpose of coming to London. The coach came with safety as far as II- ford, at its usual rate of nine mires an hour, including stoppages. In coming down the hill at the Clock house, at Ilford, the near leader started, and all the horses set off at a furious rate. The coachman gave his whip to the passenger on the box, and with both hands tried with all his vigour to pull in the horses ; but iu the effort the coach was upset in the foot-path with a tremendous .crash. The plaintiff, in endea vouring to save himself from harm, jumped off the roof, and sustained the damage stated in thedecla ration. With assistance he was conveyed,to a neigh bouring house. and afterwards cart led in a post chaise to his lodgings at Iletlinal-green. For seven weeks be was confined to his bed ;- and at the expira tion of that time he was removed, for the benefit of count! y air, to Ilford, where lie resided until very lately. his surgeon's bill amounted to £53. His expenses for nursing, &c. incident to his misfortune, came to 4.:67. Ht was stated to be a young man of 25 years of age, to have lost the use of his limb, and likely to be a cripple for life. On the part of the defendants, it was proved that their coachman, named Gobbold, was a careful, steady, and attentive man; that no similar accident had ever happened to the coach during a great num ber of years of its travelling that road; that on the day in question, in coming down Ilford bill, one of the horses took flight at a heap of ashes, which had been collected on the snow which Own covered , the footpath, and also in consequence of the splendour of the sun shining upon some frozen water in the middle of the road ; that the coachman did everything a man could do under such circumstances to prevent accident, but the horses became unmanageable, broke their traces, and ran back the road whereof they came several miles, leaving the coach behind, which in the shock was upset : that the accident sustained by the plaintiff arose in a great measure from his own imprudence in jumping off the coach in its fall, instead of keeping his place as the other passengers did, who sustained no damage whatever. It was stated on the behalf of the defendants, that they had offered a liberal compensation to the plain tiff, in consideration of his moderate circumstances, but without prejudice to the question of their legal liability, it being contended that though they were answerable for the carelessness and negligence of their servant, or for any accident in default of pro viding a safe Conveyance, they were not liable for the casualty that occasioned the injury which hap pened to the plaintiff. A negociation took'place between the Counsel on both sides, before •the defendant's case was closed; and, under the circumstances preyed, it was agreed to withdraw a juror, by which the result is, that each party pays his own costs. SEAMAN V. CORDER. This was an action by the endorsee against the ac ceptor of a bill of exchange for £156, drawn by on Mayhew. The defence set up on the part of the defendant was, that he had been completely swindled out of the acceptance with which he was now attempted to be charged. Mr. Guaway said, he would be nonsuited, and his client was nonsuited accordingly. HATTON-GARDEN.-- A NOVEL CASE OF CHILD STEALlNG.—Yesterday information was given at this Office by Mrs. Hurril, wife of a boot and shoemaker, in Goodge•street, Mary-la-bonne, respecting two of her children, the eldest a boy, aged thirteen, and the, youngest a girl, aged eleven, who had .been stolen, or, to speak more correctly, seduced from her. It appeared from her statement, that in March last a person, who gave his name as the Rev. Mr. Probus, and represented himself to be a Minister of the Esta blished Church, applied at an Echo Office in Oxford street, for a smart boy to wait on a young gentleman at a genteel boarding-school, and this application was answered by Mrs. Hurril on behalf of her son. The soi-disamt Reverend Gentleman affected to be extremely scrupulous in obtaining a testimonial of the boy's character. His scruples, however, were ef fectually removed, and the boy surrendered to his protection, under the most flattering appeirances, to the eye of the mother, of an eligible situation. At the termination of this arrangement he ascertained that the boy had a sister, an engaging child ; and by similar specious representations he induced the mother also to surrender her to his protection. He left town with the children under his care, and in a few days the mother received a letter from him, dated York, and signed by a different name from that under which he was intrusted with the charge of her chil dren, from which she ascertained that her boy and girl were performing on a public stage in that city. Both parents were extremely alarmed at this disco very, and a letter was immediately sent to reclaim them, as they objected to that profession for their children. An answer was returned, stating in sub stance that his engagements would not allow him to write oftener than once a month ; that her children were doing very well, and had no reason to com plain; requesting her not to make herself uneasy about them, as they were soon to be in London, never to leave it again. He represented that the boy was getting on well, and would make a good singer in time ; that the girl was wonderfully improved ; but he did not mention a word about their restoration.— Shortly after (in the beginning of May) Mrs. Hurril received a third letter from I lull, in the hand-writing of the person who had seduced her children, but signed by the children themselves, in which they in formed her of their performances in public, and of the great profits which they obtained by them. The letter enclosed a paragraph cut out of the Hull paper, likewise a copy of the bill of performance, to chew the progress which they were making, con chiding by saying that they had changed their names to Jameson. The paragraph above alluded to is as follows : " There is now performing at the Mutic Ihll, Albion-street, in this town, a Miss Jameson, only nine years of age, a most beautiful and interesting child. In dancing she is, for her age, unrivalled, and her singing is admirably. Mr. Jameson's slight of hand performance gives the greatest satisfaction, and Master Jameson, as a singer, though only thirteen years old, is a second Eraham. Mr. Jameson, and his interesting young family, will perform in Leeds this present Saturday evening, and on Mon day and Tuesday next, when they will quit Leeds forWaktfield." The bill of performance was under the patronage of the Royal Family, at the Freemasons' Hall, Mylon gate, Hull, in which he stated himself to be Mr. Jameson, the celebrated juggler, pupil of the re nowned Indian jugglers, and Miss Jameson, only nine years of age, from the Opera House, the most elegant dancer in England. The first part was to consist of legerdemain tricks by Mr. Jameson ; the second part consisted of singing and dancing, viz.— the comic song of Polly Parker, in character; the Ladies' Homptpe; the comic song of Nobody coming to Marry me, a Scotch Pas Seul, and Little Sally, were to be enacted by Miss Jameson. The Fashions of London, in character, and the Nightingale Club, by Mr. Jameson. Scots wha ha'e tve Wallace bled; The trumpet sounds a victory; When the rose bud, &c. Love among the roses, by the boy, Master Jameson ; and to conclude with Alts Well, by Mr. and Master Jameson. The price of admission was Is. 6d. Mr. and Mrs. Hurril wrote twice on receipt of the above letter, requesting to have their children, but received no answer; they consequently became very uneasy, fearful that they might be carried out of the coun try. Having pledged every article they had to raise money for his travelling expenses, Mr. Hurril set off on the Ist of July from London, in quest of the fugi tive and his children. Ile first went to York, where he learnt that the person above alluded to bad passed by the name of the Rev. F. Williams, had given it out that lie had buried his wife about four years, and that he was left with the two children, without means of support. On the strength of this tale, and by means of advertisements and petitions, he levied a large contribution on the Public. Shortly after the fellow absconded, having defrauded the shopkeepers to a great amount. From Yolk, Mr. Hurril traced them to Leeds, Wakefield, Hull, and Stamford, where he assumed the name of Jameson, and performed his slight of hand tricks as above stated. From thence they were traced to Coventry and Leicester, where he assumed the name of Monro ltidgway, and where lie also exhibited in the same line. Mr. Hurril then proceeded to Doncaster, Birmingham, and various other towns; in all of which the fellow assumed dif ferent names and characters, viz. doctor, half-pay officer, clergyman, &c. defrauding every one. The anxious parent, after spending a month in search of him from town to town, but without success, and-his finances being exhausted, returned home, where he arrived at an early hour on Thursday morning. The purport of Mrs. Hurril's application to the Magis trates; was for their advice how to regain her lost children.—The Magistrates expressed a wish that the Reporter would give this distressing case all publi city, in expectation that it would meet the eye of some humane person , who might rescue the children from destruction. They expressed their regret that they could not render her any service, having no clue to find the fugitive. Mrs. Hurril left the Office in tears. GUlLDHALL.—Yesterday, James Turvey, aged 17, was brought up; when N. Goddard, shopman to Mr. Savory, jeweller, in Cheapside, and a Member of the Society of Friends, stated, that the prisoner came to the shop on Monday, and asked for six4able- spoons and a soup-ladle. Mr. Savory inquired From whom he of N e w c h a asi m anyadg?v e t Savory Newington- green. dozen Thethtveeprisoneri.osfom s a id,n te a -spo on ser.ry Sav o ry au r v e gpo rep l ie d ar y l i v e e d a so, me nkn f ee drtiamee him forged Mmrrmge preceding Jenks,efddat:esigv nehad so not .— had n for them. Tnrvey admitted that he had given a £5 note in payment, and proposed to Mr. Savory to go with him to Newington-green, where, if the note wa.l a forgery, Mr. Jenks would give another for it. Mr. Savory then questioned him as to the manner in which he intended to pay for the spoons he had come to pur chase and Turvey produced a £lo note. Mr. Savory took the note, saying, he would keep it till he should get a good note for the one he had taken, and gave it to the witness to take it to his banker, by whont it wa s declared to be a forgery. The witness inconsequence 'brought an officer, who took the prisoner into ens. Cody. Mr. Christmas, Bank Inspenor, proved that both notes were forgeries. The prisoner told the fol.. ' lowing story :—I was (said he) going along Coleman. street, ou Saturday afternoon, when a Gentleman came up to me, and asked if I would go for him to Mr. Savory's, for a dozen of silver spoons, and he .would pay me for my trouble. lie then gave me a £5 note, and desired me to state I came from 3f r. Jenks, of Newington-green. This I accordingly did , and then returned to him in Coleman -street, hi in , e;iug the spoons and 18s. change. Ile did not give me any thing for my trouble, but promised, that if I would meet him at the same place on Monday, he woulli make me a handsome present. On Monday I ac-' cordingly went, and found the Gentleman wai:iag ; he again sent me to Mr. Savory's with a ten-pouasl note, desiring me to buy half a dozen of spoons and a soup•ladle, when I was taken into custody.--The father of the prisoner, who is a decent artisan, star that his son lived with him, and was most industci• ous.—He was remanded. MA RY-L A-BONNE OFFlCE.—YeStcrday Jam.:s butler to Mrs. Collins, of Manchester—quare, a, tended to prefer an information against Mr. ifccrks a coal-merchant, in the city. The conviainant stated that Mr. Acocks, being applied to for six clialdit:. of coals for Mrs. Collins, commenced deliver ilig the . •on Monday. The desired quantity was all delivere.: into the cellar, with the exception of one witi, , goalead (the last) two sacks of which were shot in separe.t places in the area, when the applicant having Imo ; to suspect that the coals were short of -the me:talle repaired to the street in order to prevent any rao;t being taken in, and was met by one of the me;, ca. rying a sack down the area-stairs, which he instant: had tried by the waggoner's own measui e, and t herel l discovered, that instead of three bushels, it con tained only two bushels and about a peck. He C.ll - prevented any further delivery ; and ‘‘ low to Mr. Acocks, requesting him to attend at an a i .. pointed hour that evening, as it was determined tt have the coals legally measured; he also wrote to the Land Coal Meter's Office, desiring the attendance of a Meter, who measured the coals ; but Mr. Ac: lts did not come.—Mr. Taylor, ln,pector at the Lane Meter's Office, deposed that he attended at the afore said house. There was a waggon standing at di, door, containing fourteen sacks cf coals ; i.e was ie.! to the area, where he fou:id two parcels of c. , als, which he was informed by the bt;tkr were the col. tents of two sacks ; he measured them, and fetl, they were deficient two bushels; the fourteen sacks. which were in the waggon, were also measured, an, were deficient in the whole ten bushel..; those wide: had been shot into the cellar, were tried in a like manner, and their gross deficiency, added to the ter mer, amounted to forty-seven bushels on the six dial dron. Mr.GrtiFrerns said, the Act of Parliament re quired that the purchaser should have the coals mea surcd before more than one sack was delivered,wiiith was not done with the first quantity; but at ;try rate an information might be laid for the fo irteen sack, which had been measured separately. Tnis the com plainant expressed his determination to do. Monday morning, a multitude of persons assemble, 1 in Go:swell-street, to witness the punishment of a fei low, named Edward Bagster,. who had been cony ic(e.. of various felonies, and was sentenced to three months , imprisonment, and to be publicly whipped. Soon after twelve o'clock the prisoner arrived from the House of Correction, in a coach, and having been made fast to the tail of a cart, he was whipped from the end of Noble-street to the sign of the Man in th, Moon, a distance of 100 yards. He appeared very indifferent about it. After the punishment was in• flitted, a most formidable gang of ruffians armed themselves with stones, brickbats, &c. and repairing to the house of Mr. Oliver, in Noble -street, who wa , the principal prosecutor of Bagster, they commenced a most violent attack upon the house : stones were flying in every direction, to the great danger of the passengers. Mrs. Oliver was struck on the head with a large flint stone, which felled her to.the ground.— Mr. Oliver with great difficulty escaped with his Hie. He at length succeeded in shutting his shop, but the street was blocked up by the rioters till aLottt eight o'clock in the evening, when a party of the Bow-select patrol arrived, and after some time suppressed the tumult. Several of the ringleaders were secured. MARRIED. Monday, at Mary-la-bonne Church, Sir IL D. Iknegaa, K.C.H. K.C. to Marianne Wolff Ines, only daughter of the late Colonel James Innes, of Madras.
